Thumbs up E39 Opposites Photo Shoot

PutterMcGavin and I were bored earlier, and we've been talking about getting our cars together for a photoshoot for as long as I can remember. so we decided to meet up and go for it. I had never really thought about it but Putter pointed out how "opposite" both of our cars are!

He has a black car, with silver wheels and light interior...

Mine is a silver car, with black wheels and darker interior...



and as always, comments are welcome

Haha close. Jon forgot to put my "disclaimer" in for me :

"For the record my camera SUCKS POSony, no tripod or any stand other than the ground and I have no photo skills AT ALL! "

The camera isn't terrible, but not great for stuff like this. It is only a 5.1 mp that I picked up cheap from Fleabay and "locks up" on certain manual modes . I wanted to grab the camera my girlfriend has but the batteries were dead and it was at her place (9.X mp Canon Powershot something or another). The next ones will be better!

...Now if I can just get a camera that isn't compared to a "picture phone"...Jon again, GREAT pics!

I might have to keep my eye open for a few more spots. Finley? Somewhere near Puke? Hmmm....

Bah, it shouldn't piss anybody off! We're just setting the bar a little "higher" for photo shoots to come
