thanks again for the compliments everyone, we will be bringing our cameras to the summer BBQ meet, im kinda hoping we can get an e90 caravan shot on the highway, that would be sweet !

I'm impressed, jwocky!

If you do go for faster shutter speeds for sharper car images, there is always the "motion blur" in Photoshop that can increase the background blur if it's not enough.

I use a Canon 10D which is very similar to your camera. I'm assuming you just fired off shots as fast as the camera would go?

Thanks John! We cautioned on the side of having the pics blurry in order to make sure we were getting the background nicely blurred. With the shutter speeds I was using it was definitely not easy to get tack sharp images but you take enough pics and some are bound to come out sharp

I'm familiar with the blur filter in photoshop but try not to use it... to me it almost feels like cheating in a way (just like hardcore photographers feel like photoprocessing heavily is cheating).

10D is an awesome camera. Eventually I hope to work my way up to needing the 20D but for now the DRebel suffices. It's all about the lenses anyway

Do you shoot often? What kind of lenses are in your arsenal?

RedStripe · 06-29-2005, 04:46 PM

What settings did you use on the Rebel (the 6.3 megapixel first-generation one right?). What mode did you put it in? Shutter Speed, Aperature, ISO, etc... ? Thanks.

Yup, the first generation - "300D" I had it in TV mode and was just adjusting the shutter speed (let the camera take care of the aperture). I was in either ISO 100 or 200, definitely no higher. Shutter speed ranged from as slow as 1/4 second to 1/25 second. Are you into photography?

RedStripe · 06-30-2005, 12:12 AM

A little. But I'm nowhere near as good as you. My parents also have the first generation digital Rebel, and I've played with it before. Thanks for the details. Do you prefer the TV mode setting? I'm not that familiar with the camera, so I just usually use Full Auto or P mode.

Just came across these pics again on my hard drive.. can't believe this was almost half a year ago! These were the first real-life moving shots of the E90 I saw and fell in love with it.

06graphite · 12-15-2005, 01:26 PM

ok, so this is a little off topic, but are any of you camera buffs interested in buying a nikon f2?

findtom · 12-15-2005, 01:46 PM

Black is such a great color.... it's worth the upkeep!

Witch car is faster out of the two 3 series? Does the E46 have factory xenons or does it have hid's?

NaViT · 09-10-2007, 03:27 PM

such great pics

karan230 · 09-10-2007, 03:43 PM

sharp pics, man ! lovely.

i really liked the e46 w/ the roof-rack. lol. i dunno why, but i think it makes it look really sporty. heheh.

OC Guy · 09-10-2007, 03:46 PM

Great moving pictures, I particuarly like the tunnel and Porsche shots.

rcarlson · 09-10-2007, 03:56 PM

Wow ... glad this post was resurrected ... such gorgeous pics and cars. Black is SUCH a good color for the E9x series. If I didn't live in a state that gets a lot of nasty weather, I'd go for black.

Many of those shots, especially the tunnel shots, are BMW brochure worthy, no doubt.

Ryan.M · 09-10-2007, 05:52 PM

Amazing photo shoot guys

The photos make me miss E46's.

STATUS · 09-10-2007, 09:19 PM

that first tunnell shot was flawless except for the window not being up
