not bad....

my suggestion is, if you are going to do a HDR photo, get a lot of contrast..... get some dark colors, and some bright colors that will really POP out at you....

as for the halo shot, i am not sure which camera you are using, but closing the aperature and speeding up the shutter will give you a better halo shot...

These cars are so beautiful it wouldnt matter if you took these pics with an old school VGA camera phone. They would still look hot.

Pics were taken at GSP unless rent-a-cop kicked us out, so last few pics were from Bergen Town Center. We should meet up once it's warmer!

Pics look great...E90 M3 = BALLER; are those wheels 19" VMRs?...those CCFL halos are really difficult to capture on camera b/c they are so bright...I think I have yet to get a really good pic of mine that I actually like...

Bjboelke: isnt there an angel eye kit that has 3 rings per headlight for the Mazda 6?

would have been money if that light pole wasnt coming thru your car. if you would have positioned the camera to where it was...in between the two cars or just not in teh pic at all...*money shot* IMO

What color temperature are your fogs, cause they match your halos perfectly? I got a projector but they aren't HID's, it's to expensive for me since I cant do it myself. Which halogen lights would match the color of the halos perfectly. Any help would be appreciated.

I love your car by the way!

I had 6000K which were bluer than the halos so I switched to 5000K.

I really love ur halos, the color temp is just right. Where did you get them? Does anyone know of any halogen type bulbs that would match those beautiful halos?

Sorry for all the posts and questions
