A proper introduction

tekmoe · 11-14-2010, 05:30 PM

I've been posting around this place for the past couple of weeks but haven't had a chance to properly introduce myself.

My name is Justin, I'm 27 years old, and I love cars and bikes. I've gone thru several cars since my driving career started over 10 years ago. I just recently purchased a 2006 M Roadster and I am absolutely loving it. Never have I owned a car where I felt this much emotion. It is truly a drivers car. I'm getting much better with shifting thru the gears and have eliminated pretty much any kangaroo action on the 1-2 shift. I imagine the car does have the CDV still installed based on the descriptions I have read on these forums. I don't have any plans with taking it out. I think it drives just fine now that I've adjusted.

Anyway, here's a pic that I took earlier. What do you think? (I'm a photographer so I always love to hear any feedback on my photos

)

Congrats,
very nice pics.

HDR-esque is interesting when it's subtle. In many cases it's overdone. However, you caught reflections in the surface of the car very well. Glad you're enjoying the car.

Love it! It almost looks chrome and the sky is insane. I miss sunsets like that. We get smogsets in LA.

esqu1re · 11-15-2010, 01:37 PM

beautiful! Welcome.

Nhopkins1394 · 11-15-2010, 02:00 PM

Beautiful car.
Now really, how much photoshopping did you do to the front-end shot?
Did you do the detail yourself?
Nice job.

tekmoe · 11-15-2010, 03:18 PM

Little bit of photoshop. Not too much. I'm not a professional by any means.

ANILE8 · 11-26-2010, 06:19 AM

Very nice pictures.

Do you have a link to anymore?

HDR right?

Pretty good for a D5000

SCHMOUPE · 11-26-2010, 10:31 AM

SHEEDI · 11-26-2010, 02:33 PM

Wonderful pics

tekmoe ... what camera / editingsoftware you are using ?

Blind32 · 12-14-2010, 11:31 PM

Great looking car and welcome. I am also in Dallas with a Silver Grey Coupe. I haven't been around the forums lately due to craziness at work and business travel.

Finnegan · 12-14-2010, 11:37 PM

Wow! Great shots! (And welcome)

fastdad · 12-15-2010, 12:28 AM
