I don't know what HDR is, but the first photo especially looks like an illustration.

That said, awesome pictures and beautiful car! Love the brakes...

P.s. Vehicle is equipped with the adaptive suspension and lowered on HR sports

KneeDragr · 09-04-2012, 01:18 PM

I never really considered a silver F30, but I saw one in person this weekend and now its my number 1 color choice.

MaestroAl · 09-04-2012, 01:32 PM

Tee hee ... someone's new to HDR photography. Need to chill out on the curves in Photoshop dude!

Car looks stunning though ... well it would if the photos didn'tlook fake

gerbs · 09-04-2012, 02:25 PM

Great pics!!

Is there an issue w/ the driver's side reflector? The paint doesn't seem to match up correctly - perhaps just an angle issue or from editing?

scott@bmwhn · 09-04-2012, 02:39 PM

I think its because it doesnt sit completely flush, some angles it blends some it doesnt. I may have them filled and blended when I put the M performance front spoiler on.

kv12 · 09-04-2012, 02:48 PM

Woah!!! Amazing photos worthy to be placed in an official BMW brochure!

You got me, yes I'm quite new and still learning HDR photography

Cyberdemon · 09-04-2012, 07:32 PM

Love the gunmetal grille treatment on the silver. The contrast is much nicer than the black.

Some nice pics ! I especially like the lighting on the subject car.

May I offer you some suggestions for improving your next shoot ?

Pay closer attention to your backgrounds and foregrounds. Trees emerging out of the front hood of the car do not help your composition. In a similar way, parking lot lines can interfere with the car or they can help if they draw your eye into or toward the car. Think of the car as a piece of sculpture when you are shooting.

Good shooting !

After much consideration of other colour choices (Alpine white and Mineral Grey), I have to agree, especially GS with the glossy black trim that comes with the M Sport and Sportline.

MMill · 09-04-2012, 08:00 PM

looks flawless. Are those the OEM Msport wheels? They look really great with that drop..

Dont' get me wrong though - I love your shots. The composition is excellent - truly! You just overdid the HDR a bit and they look ... illustrated. Whith a little less HDR so there's more shadow and more contrast/definition, you'd have some amazing top draw pics there my friend

Oh, and the last picture? In the garage? Is amazing. Don't touch it.
