I went for a drive today.

plasmasmp · 01-30-2008, 05:23 PM

Perfect chance to get out and take some pictures.

Later in the day.

Rick Hunter · 01-30-2008, 06:13 PM

Nice!

mPlasticDesign · 01-30-2008, 06:23 PM

Great pics! I bet you can do some cool things in photoshop with those clouds in the backdrop.

edit: I like the last pic best!

plasmasmp · 01-30-2008, 09:03 PM

Thanks

I added the rest.

Vlad · 01-30-2008, 09:26 PM

Very nice, what photo gear did you use to take these?

The compositions are very fitting!

OH FO SHO · 01-31-2008, 01:46 AM

sweet pics

Void Xero · 01-31-2008, 09:42 PM

WOW! #1, #3 & #4 are so amazing they almost look fake. It's like the background is a painting that the car is parked in front of. Fantastic job on all of them!!!

BTW, did you use a polarizer or skylight filter for these?

plasmasmp · 01-31-2008, 10:34 PM

No filters, all software manipulated from images ranging from +-2EV taken with a Canon Xti. I have to keep the lens stopped down or the chromatic abberations make me want to vomit. I'm sure with better lenses, these could be 10x better.

I think I pushed this one a little too far, but I like the feel of it.

MpoweredM · 02-01-2008, 07:51 AM

Thanks so much for not creating surreal shots like everyone is doing now a days with HDR. The images look great. Much more realistic, just like I like.

The M coupe however.. VERY SICK! I love it.

Hawkeye · 02-01-2008, 08:48 AM

I like that very last one you posted the best. Makes me want to get out my XT and take some pics... what kind of lens do you use?

bojinns · 02-01-2008, 11:48 AM

excellent pics...

car speaks for itself!

BigLeo48 · 02-01-2008, 08:22 PM

Plasmamp,

I agree, the last one is the best and is now my screen saver! I have the exact same car that's underwraps up here in the Great White North. Thanks for posting them...made my day feel much closer to spring!

yamazaho · 02-03-2008, 11:50 PM

Sweet pictures!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

plasmasmp · 02-04-2008, 08:19 PM

I added my M Coupe to that superbowl Audi R8 Commerical and added some ///M Exhaust to go along with it

VoiD · 02-05-2008, 01:10 PM

LOL

rosierobins2003 · 02-05-2008, 03:21 PM

If its North of SF don't bother...I won't go there.

Awesome! Except it still says Audi in the beginning

That's the point of the video - the "truth" Audi doesn't want you to know is that you can get a Z4M for half the price of an R8.

plasmasmp · 02-05-2008, 10:53 PM

Exactly. Though I would love to have an R8 like everyone else here, I doubt it would be as beastly as the M Coupe!
