H2O on wax...

Nice detail pictures but would be more interested in body shots...

He's parked beneath a carport with many distracting, spurious refections covering the rest of him. The angles presented are the only which don't scoop-up surrounding structures.

Cool pix, looking forward to more shots. We want more... We want more... haha

60Driver · 04-08-2008, 02:14 PM

Neat pictures, Surname. And we like distracting, spurious reflections.

Thanks.

Here's a pic I took this evening while at work on break, the car isn't angled particularly attractively, however, the essentials are there, will try again another time when opportunity permits. Here in Oregon, there are times when the clouds perform absolutely 'biblical' displays, juxtaposing the bird with the 135i below a glorious sky could work quite well. Also, I anticipated a hand-held situation with shutter speed adjusted accordingly, hence the 'noise' or digital grain. As it turned out, a steady platform was available for the camera to rest, next time, I'll bring the tripod for a 'proper' shot and spend more time to compose the scene.

Just noticed why the bird hasn't been flying - no tail feathers/rotor-head.

All I could think of while looking at your pictures was "Noooo! Water Spots!" Nice pics though.

I guess I won't be the only one here referring to my car with a male persona. :thumbup:

Do you fly that helicopter behind it?

larryn · 04-09-2008, 06:09 PM

Looks great Surname! Love all of them. The one on the heliport is really cool too.

these cars are definitely male. I speak other languages in which the word car has a male gender... so I can't stay away from it.

that said, maybe a red 128i vert could be a girl... who knows.

bmwfreak · 04-09-2008, 07:40 PM

Agreed with the concensus, great pics, but we want more

No way! That would be foolish.:wink: I work in the machine shop making jet-engine parts.

Earlier this evening, the local mountain roads called, this particular stretch of pastoral playground is known as Dead Indian Road. Took a few pics during breaks with Tom-foolery...:smile:. The driveway is not a driveway, it is, rather, a BLM access-trail to who knows what, perhaps Bigfoot's secluded wooded-wonderland, he, she, or, it's, forest-retreat.:wink:

The KC-97 pic is kool simply for the testosterone-rich juxtaposition. The interior shot, an experiment, not bad, noisy, has possibilities.

Oregon · 07-19-2008, 04:10 AM

After a couple sorties up/down Dead Indian, the wheels are rendered thus...

Artsy? Fartsy? :iono:Try again?:wink:

Rain water doesn't spot around here, it's tap water from sprinklers or when washing that you have to be careful of.

Just playing with a favorite background, Hassel Fabrication lies at the foot of the Indian...
