Basic Skills for Capturing Your Mini

I was catching up on Autoblog this morning, and came across this simple article for taking pictures of your car.
https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/16/...acing-framing/

I know we have some great looking Minis here in the forum, so let’s get some great shots and show them off!

Great article. Thanks for posting. This is the most recent pic of my MINI - wish I had seen the proportional advice prior to taking it.

Looking good!




Sometimes you just need a little lens flare

I love this angle on the Clubman

I think the picture would be better without the power lines, however.

This coming from the guy that has power lines in his 😉 All joking aside, let see some more awesome shots.

And I was trying to do my part and social distance, I was the 2nd person there 😢

Curious...I've been told there's a separate software for John Cooper Works which is a "GP" tune....any idea what the difference may be ?

Not sure besides a raised redline, 8 more hp than a 210 hp JCW, and being GP 1 exclusive.

200 and 210 hp JCW tunes seem to be out there from non-dealer sources, but I’ve never seen the GP tune available.

Took this 2 years ago with a digital SLR and a tripod. Our DC Metro MINI Club did a photo shoot day at one of our outings. I've since done a few upgrades including the JCW Brembo brakes, so I need to do another photo shoot for good measure. We did this shoot at an old prison in Lorton, VA.

I'm not normally a fan of that blacked-out look -- too common these days, but I do love it on your yellow MINI. The contrast looks great!
