I figured I'd go out and take some updated pictures of my MINI. Tell me what you think.

Image 6 (This was my failed attempt at a motion shot - clearly I was not going fast enough - feel free to laugh at me):

 

I like the last one w/ the turned front wheel.

The screen in my laptop is so small I could not see the photos very well. But I like the wheels. They seem to give the car a wider stance and the silver rims provide counterpoint to all that blackness.

 

I actually like this shot best. To me it's not a complete failure at motion, the motion in this pic is implied.
After checking the EXIF data I see you set your Digital Rebel to ISO 400. Retake this shot at 100 or lower (can't remember what lowest ISO on Rebel XT is). Anyway, set the aperture to it's smallest (f/22 ?) if you have a polarizer or neutral density filter, slap 'em on. This should allow you to use a slower shutter speed in daylight which, in turn, will help capture the motion you're looking for.

Try it and show us what happens.

Wow! How much and from where? Those are Racing Harts, right? :drool:

 

You are correct. Lowest ISO is 100. I will give it a try today, and see how it turns out.

 

Heh, actually no, they are not Racing Harts. They are made by a company from Drag. I ordered them from Wheelmax.com (the experience was not the best from Wheelmax - probably would stay away from them in the future).

Anyways, thanks for the compliments .

 

just wondering cuz i have a mini thats all black with chrome mirrors just like yours and lovin that look....whats the price on tires+wheels shipped?

 

$1,119.00 is what I paid from Wheelmax.com . After I received them, they gave me a $100 refund due to a small imperfection on the wheel that i was unhappy with.

So far, everything is great with the rims and tires.

 

Very nice!

 

what year is your car?
