Title: Finally - My "arty" pics
Post by: Hurdy on 23 October 2007, 22:39
Finally managed to get out and take some decent pics of my car. Derbyshire is only 5 minutes from my back door and has some beautiful roads and scenery. So here you are and enjoy. Let me know what you think :smiley:

Everytime I see pics of stunning Ed30s either in white or silver or even steel grey I always wish that I had bought that colour  :grin: :grin: :grin: These pics are no exception and a 3-door silver Ed30 would have looked nice in my garage instead of the black I have - I am sure I'll change my mind tomorrow although everytime I see Tagnu's silver Ed30 in his sig I wish I had a silver one instead  - they really look  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:   Maybe I'll have to buy one of each  :evil:

....Great photos :smiley: - Shame someone parked a car in the way! :grin: [just joking!]

Very smart Ed30 in silver and I like the BBS alloys - Very classic design. Excellent lighting on the third pic.

No Xenons....Had them before and on my last car I did without them and found that the halogens were decent enough not to have to go for them. :smiley:

Oh yes, I see what you mean. I had a bit of a play with the photoshop and matched the reflections above and below the numbers to get the effect. Glad you like :smiley:

Absolutely amazing looking car.  Really do like the silver and the backdrop makes the car look even more spectacular  :smiley:

Had to use my fog lights this morning over the Forth Road Bridge as it was down to about a few feet visibility so at least I know they work  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Fog lights are for exactly that - driving in fog!!!!! can't stand people who drive everywhere with their fogs on!! then when it is foggy these same people don't ruddy use them!!  :angry:

Rant over lol

Ps - no offence intended Joe but its one of my top pet hates!!  :grin:

It is a Compact...Pentax Optio. Only has 3.2 megapixels, but I believe it is the quality of the lens and software rather than how many pixels you have :wink:

Pentax always seem to get a good write up in reviews etc

Got a Canon IXUS 65 but i can't seem to get decent pics out of it  :sad: good excuse to keep trying though!!  :laugh:

they are when the car is sat 3 foot off your bumper! or when coming towards you; xenons i don't find too bad
Title: Re: Finally - My "arty" pics
Post by: joesgti on 24 October 2007, 12:37
but they are designed to shine directly on the ground....if i was sat 3feet from you bumper then i would be a tw@t, but you wouldnt be able to see them at all!  :evil:
fogs are made not to be bright because in fog with bright lights on you cant see a thing because of the moisture in the air reflecting the light back.  :smiley:

....Somewhat off topic, but people tend to feel very strongly about fogs being on when it's not foggy. Me? There's plenty fog/sea-mist around here at times and sometimes they work as good Daylight Driving Lights at speed. I understand it's actually illegal unless foggy - Why? Only because it's a law from when fogs were great big mother-feckers which did blind you! It's about time they updated the law, and also scrapped the 70 limit - Fat chance!

....I used to have one of those but found it just too tiny to handle. Got a Fuji FinePix F11 instead and much prefer its size (still very compact). :smiley:

I've got a Nokia N95 also with 5mp, but my compact has an optical zoom, a better flash and doesn't confuse the fcuk out of me when I go into it's settings :embarassed:

Post by: joesgti on 24 October 2007, 16:11
i had the N95 but has to be charged all the time so i sent it back and got this one! battery now needs charging 1once in 4 days!  :grin: :grin:

Same here mate - really pi55e5 me off no end esp. when they have them on in towns when there is really no need.  I am sometimes tempted to put my beams on when passing them on dual carriageways or motorways but usually there is a car in front and so I don't  :angry:  Another thing that really gets me even more than fogs are those tw8ts who don't know how to use a bl00dy hand break and instead blind you for 1-3 minutes with there sometimes very bright brake lights.  Whats worse is you can;t return the favour as they are in front and the traffic isn't moving.
