Shots of the Zed

[cj10jeeper]

Was out and about yesterday and took a few shots of the Zed in 2 very different underground car parks.
Experimenting with various settings on the 450D and not PS'd any of these, but may do later.

First car park was bright white light and the second strange relaxing yellow.

looks pretty good to me

Looks nice and you really did a good job on those wheels

 

[AlanJ]

Wheels look superb. Like the natural look but not so sure about the others - just me being old fashioned...! ldman:

Nice pictures. You should choose one for this month competition.

 

[pvr]

yes, like the natural light ones.

Trust you paid your parking fees?

 

[mmm-five]

Lucky he didn't get ticketed or clamped for using more than one bay

 

[cj10jeeper]

Easy enough to manipulate the colours:
I was surprised at how much variance there was in the car park lighting

(parking jokes inevitable - what about all that oil leaking out my car??... )

Thanks for the comments about the rims - turned out really well and look even better in the flesh where you can see the inners better

I am used to seeing oil leaks on oil of your car pictures on your drive

Good shots - wheels looking good With the DSLR you seem to get the detail on the diffuser that seem so elusive with the P&S.

The comment was posted purely for your amusement and before you got chance to me with oil jibes

 

[pvr]

No - I posted that at the same time so I removed my post

Defiantly digging the pics, love the wheels.
I am curious what you have done to the brake rotors and calipers?

 

[Mr Whippy]

Nice work!

Awesome pics, love the first one.

 

[chariszzzz]

Nice!

Got any more pics of that back end? Love the diffuser

 

[Shooter]

Oops, won't agree with the majority here.
The third pic is nice, the first twos are juste "another pic" of a Z.
And the yellow light hurts my eyes.
Sorry, mate, these pics just don't work for me.

 

[cj10jeeper]

Nice!

Here you go on to show it a little better - By messing with a few basics I can make the diffuser show up more (to the detriment of the rest of the shot):

As noted earlier these are actually difficult to photo (well with my skill level) due to being darker, shinier and odd angles.

Welcome to the forum

The front brakes are replaced with E46 330 carriers (which are larger than prefacelift 3.0i) EBC grooved disks and EBC Greenstuff pads in red painted calipers. Easy job really.

Shooter - I agree - as I said I was just messin' with the camera and if anything good came of it - all the better.

That is one smart looking Zed.....

I want mine to look like that too....
