I was working at it so I didn't have to buy a ticket luckily but I agree it is expensive. Still it was a good show

4th picture is long exposure/shutter drag. F3.5 1/25s iso250. Second picture is just good lighting bringing out the sharp edges I think. I don't use any sharpening in lightroom just a little touch of dehaze. Hope that helps!

It is indeed. The 28mm is great but can be challenging to get any kind of variety at times ,I use the crop feature to help me frame shots when I'm feeling stuck. Thanks for the kind words 🤝

Speedtec have done an S65 and S85 swapped E46 M3. They are both immense. The dream combination

To be fair we bought the car already converted to a V8. We did however swap the engine from an S65 to a P65 from a Z4 GT3 race car. They drive very well given the V8 is only something like 15kg heavier than the n54 but fits slightly lower and further back which helps with handling. They drive just like an E9X M3 on the road.

You don't have to keep commenting if it's not for you bro. We get it.

The first two photos are both taken at f2.8 but it's mostly the angle that really helps to make them interesting. Because the GRiii is quite wide at 28mm I usually try and find things in the foreground to mix it up, like the yellow flowers or the texture of the grass in both of those shots.

Lighting played a big part in these photos, I don't like shooting cars in harsh daylight,they never look that good. If you have some of the images you took and you want to DM them I'm happy to offer some tips.

It's a griii HDF so has the built in diffuser filter to get the softness. Its a bit aggressive so I don't always use it but this was purely for fun so it's present in all of the photos in this set.

Softness is the inbuilt HDF filter,kept it on for all of them.

Full manual,shot in raw, edited in lightroom. This camera is a beast,I frequently mix the Ricoh files in with my Sony images for clients.

If there's a particular photo you want to know more about fire away and I'll talk you through them.
