BMW 325i Coupe

[equinoxe7]

Unknown owner. Thanks to a friend of mine who took the initiative to bring the car out(without the owner's consent lol) for the opportunity. Loving every bit of this beemer. Awesome ride it is. This piece took me quite a while to finish(busy hanging out with friends of course). But Im glad that I managed to finish it, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

Note: it's not an M3, its a 325i.

I'll bet the owner would be thrilled to know strangers are driving, posing, and photographing his/her car.

Thumbs Down.

The light on it looks pretty good, but I'd crop about 1/2 of the image out.

I dont like the tight crop. Sorry it just go imo. Go look at www.Dukesphotography.com, www.SteveDemmitt.com you will NOT find these crops in ANY of there images because they dont go well, sorry Photosguy, I disagree with you.

i think its good either way. it all depends on the scene/composition and how you wanna show off the ride. But Photosguy i still prefer my own crop which is the image i uploaded. Thanks.

btw, nice links there Orlandoech =D

Definitely. NO one was ever allowed to drive my bimmer. Except for my girl.

That said, nice shot, but this guy needs to lose the decals.

well, its my bad then, but i have to seize the chance. :)

yeah the decals kinda look weird, the previous owner just sold this car to the current owner so i guess its pretty much untouched ever since.

Yeah becomes kinda difficult if the decals have been on their for awhile. Take'em off, and you're likely to have different paint colours.

"dont go well," with what? Showing the car to it's best advantage?
Most of the wide crops you see, done by a pro, are wide so that an AD can add text after. They will crop them to fit their layout.
If that's who you're shooting for, then that's what you shoot.
For an owner, print it both ways, & see which one he picks for his wall.

Blindly following someone else's path will lead you into the wilderness.

The front of the car looks like a drawing for some reason. What sort of pp was done here?

Blindly following someone else's path will lead you into the wilderness.here's my point of view, sometimes ill go with a tight crop, like what i did with the honda that i posted some time ago, and sometimes i just prefer to go wide, i never care whether its up to a mag's standard or ad or what so ever so that they can add text into it, its just a play of composition to me, nothing more than that. With that said, we all have different ways and taste on how we want to show our work, im just showing mine.

I was thinking about the same crop Frank did, it fits the image better, with it the pic looks really good. That two huge buildings are too distracting, and the fog works great on the rest. Hate "AC Schintzer" style decals! Wheels look too heavy for a sleek Beemer coupe. And sorry, but I can't agree with you on taking a car that's not yours with no agreement from the ownr... especially this car!

i never care whether its up to a mag's standard or ad or what so ever so that they can add text into it, its just a play of composition to me, nothing more than that. I don't know if you misunderstood, but I'm not promoting extra wide crops. Just the opposite.
