As for custom white balance, I have played w/ the XSi and its plenty easy to do.

Take a pick of something that is white in your current lighting - making sure the whole image is white according to your lighting.

Hit the menu button + find the custom white balance and select the pic of your white image.

Select custom white balance + shoot away!
Awesome, I will definitely give it a shot soon! Thanks

Lookin good as usual. Wish I saw more of the w203 though I just noticed the lil "power dome" on the hood. Is that standard?

edit: are you using a tripod for the night/hdr shots?

Thanks! The "power dome" is standard.

I am using a tripod for the night/hdr shots. I would have HDR pics of the w203, but I keep on forgetting to take the damn tripod out of the M3!

Yes, his was stock.

That kind of weight transfer and its resultant suspension angularity is typical for most cars in that corner:







Not all cars though



CynCarvin32 ran far more quickly than the M3’s, 335i’s and an M6 ‘vert there in his ’92 325is. He can drive!

K, so I'm going to Vegas weekend prior to Christmas.

What parking structure did you take the pics at? Decided to drive there, instead of fly (was gonna fly Southwest, but prices doubled since last week).

If I have a chance, I may do a photoshoot too!...

The night pics were at the Bally's/Paris parking structure. The daytime shots were at the Flamingo parking structure. I decided to pick low traffic places for easier shooting...
