that looks amazing! .......it would even if it was dirty i suppose.
 
Mike - No, had skirts redone, as there were skuff marks on them and the bumper redone with the plate mounting removed.
 
WOW! That is seriously impressive, probably one of the cleanest cars Ive ever seen, very very impressive.

One thing, was thast a prime lense? Normal lense with wider DOF might show off the shine even better on the close ups.

Your car looks simply stunning, I'd be scared to drive it and get it drity! Very very impressed.

thanks Shabba, kind of you to say.

I'm not a "pro" photographer by any means. Was advised to get the 50mm and love it for it's sharpness, even if i do have to walk about an extra step or 2!!!

Cars are for driving, which is why i'd happily go to the ring, trackdays etc...But then once a year get it spray'd! It's worth it imo! OCD perhaps.
 
Pah, average Ali :wink:

Simply stunning mate, didn't realise you already had the CSLs (did see a mention of coilies and CSLs on CS...) - did they come from your brother's? What's your plan for mounting a front plate, just going without one?

Wheels are so well suited to Z4s, awesome stuff :thumbsup:

Stunning Z4 :thumbsup: looks superb in those shots great reflection shot pic 8 and that first pic looks like an oil slick over the car with all those colours reflected amazing :thumbsup:

Thinking of a Digi SLR how easy for a novice is the 400 ? use an ixus 970 IS at the mo

Ah I see. I'd be too worried about getting it dirty to drive it. The cleanest Z4MC in Aberdeen :D

400d is really easy to use - I've to the forerunner to it, the 350d. It's got simple point-and-shoot settings on it too so you can use it as a "normal" camera, then progress to using the different modes for more manual control over the camera as you get more confident. Honestly, they're a great DSLR to start off with, as are the lower Nikon DSLRs.

As above, takes a fair bit of footering about with it...On avg i take about 75-100 shots in a shoot...Play about with an array of settings. Delete the crap one. Short list it down to the best 10 and edit them from there...long process!
 
Eh, you missed a bit.

Pop down to Glasgow with your detailing gear and i'll show you on my car. :evil:
