decided to snap a few today in the 15 degree weather, and im releasing this one to the community

Enjoy!
comments and criticisms welcome as always.

 

there's water all over it!

 

I want that BMW/MINI badge.....where can i procure one?

 

oh and nice snap by the way, aperture 2.8 or lower?

 

Nice picture. R53 FTW!

 

f/5.6
1/80sec exposure
iso-400
131mm lens
and no editing or retouching done.

I got the BMW/MINI badge from aesthetic creations, you have to buy it in a pack, but they fit perfectly, and its $15 for all the different designs.

 

oh, and i had the cp filter on as well.

 

What camera did you use? Tripod? Did you try any slower ASA settings?

 

cannon rebel t1i with a cannon 55-150mm lens (i think... its downstairs and im lazy)
I work free hand, but need to obtain a tripod.
and with no tripod, i dont like to use too slow of a setting... photos get blurry.

 

SAME

 

Great shot, and I also love the badge.. I might have to order some!

 

Damn, looks good. So is that just a sticker? I found the pack that you were talking about.

 

Yeah, For all intents and purposes, The BMW MINI decal is a "Sticker".

But it's a high quality printed and laminated vinyl decal. They also offer fully domed rubberized decals also. They're $25 for a set.

 

Which is gay.....$15 for a sticker
Im going to go ahead and get two actual BMW badges

Very nice picture btw

 

Real BMW badges are way to big to fit anywhere that makes sense on an R53 hood. And they will be much more expensive from nearly any retailer that doesn't get their stock by taking a flat tip to a local bimmer hood.

And its $15 for 12 stickers. not one. Which is very cheap.

 

Of course its not just one....wouldnt make sense having one on the front and not on the back....
I just dont see the point in paying $15 for a set of 12 stickers that im only going to be using 2. Nah mean? The real ones are expensive but i already have one or two and sourcing them from a junkyard wont be hard (at least for me)

 

yes, but then you can use the other 5 sets and put them on random peoples minis that you know, throwing them off one day when they finally notice :P
