To loving the Jetta! Its beautiful.

It belongs to a guy called Dubsesd on VW Vortex and I rate it as my favourite car.
Its a GLI so it has a GTi engine but the mods are perfection.

The pics...









And the money shot.....



Hopefully this counts as MK5 related content  :undecided:

The shots are all HD. I have a few more but not with me right now. I love the lens he has. The way it pulls the front end on the last picture.

Yeah it's a wide angle lens of some kind although not an extreme one.

I think he said its a Canon 40D and I cant remember the lens.

But then again. Photoshop does that too....

The Jetta is a Golf with a boot.

Save the picture down, open it in Photoshop and go to FILE - FILE INFO - CAMERA DATA 1

This shows you all the information you need about how the picture was taken and what camera/lens/aperture/shutter speed/ISO...

Canon 40D
12mm focul length
Shutter speed 1.250th sec
f/8
ISO 100
Aperture priority

To get the correect exposure on the sky he may have used a graduated neutral density filter or used the IMAGE - ADJUSTMENTS - SHADOW/HIGHLIGHTS function in Photoshop CS2/CS3.

Pictures are very well composed.

Not sure the EXIF data will tell you what physical lens was used but it'll certainly give you the focal length so if it's 18mm or below you know it's a wide angle jobbie.

I know that... But in America they get a Jetta GLI which is a Jetta with a GTI engine, GTi bodykits and everything.

My photoshop does not give that info... I can find out though.

Think it only works if the image was shot RAW. I may be wrong though.

That car is done very well though.
