Alaskan Alpine White 335i

Hello all! My first post on the BMW forums..

I'm an automotive/landscape photographer on the side living in Anchorage, Alaska. Right now I own a 2013 Alpine White 335i XDrive, manual transmission. Ive owned it since October 2016. No performance mods. I just like keeping her looking pretty for pictures

Here's a couple of pictures I've taken of my car. The first one is the most recent. It was taken right after a full detail, paint correction and a ceramic coating application. Enjoy!!

Beautiful shots! Love the scenery.

Also I'm digging those wheels.

Thank you guys! Heres a couple more that I forgot I had:

On roads less traveled:

Some Aurora Borealis action. I wasn't too happy with how this picture turned out. The car isn't perfectly in focus.

This picture was taken moments after the one above with my car. I often have to drive 50 miles out of town in the dead of night in single digit fahrenheit temperatures to get the best light show.

An over-night dump of snow

Having fun in said-snow.

For the next two pictures, I rigged my camera/tripod in the back seat and secured it by tying all the seat belts to the tripod legs. I then drove at about 20mph through downtown 5th Ave. The picture itself was a 25 second exposure time, so it as crucial to drive as smooth as possible and to keep still. I intentionally moved the shifter to capture a sense of movement and speed.

Enjoy!

Wow great looking car and photos! Seeing the Aurora Borealis is on my bucket list for sure. What wheels are those? They look very OEM especially with the BMW center cap on them.
