With our super mild winter and no snow on the ground, myself and Dan were able to shoot this clean, modded, 335xi coupe. I think Ive shot at least 5 of these new 3-series now and with each one I like them more and more. We had a quick snow squall roll in during the shoot which was kinda cool. 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/6901318871_0c9688f0d4_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/6901318871_0c9688f0d4_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7044/6901440429_52aee7c32a_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7044/6901440429_52aee7c32a_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7061/6906080901_d4155788fb_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7061/6906080901_d4155788fb_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6905957791_f3c1a19b6a_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6905957791_f3c1a19b6a_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6901523449_d08c2ec75f_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6901523449_d08c2ec75f_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6906146071_66ceb24470_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6906146071_66ceb24470_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7188/6912882877_57a60a3315_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7188/6912882877_57a60a3315_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7064/6912884493_a8e117f2cd_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7064/6912884493_a8e117f2cd_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6912883359_0f6936b259_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6912883359_0f6936b259_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6912885255_620e355345_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6912885255_620e355345_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7201/6912941815_7ab67cd4a8_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7201/6912941815_7ab67cd4a8_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/6913067957_0188cbc980_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/6913067957_0188cbc980_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7209/6918995397_e51623b725_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7209/6918995397_e51623b725_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7185/6918995911_82ee9394ce_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7185/6918995911_82ee9394ce_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/6772881454_a7a32c3474_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/6772881454_a7a32c3474_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7066/6918996985_a1dc9118bf_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7066/6918996985_a1dc9118bf_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6918997801_3860df8789_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6918997801_3860df8789_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7059/6772883334_4c50f26fa0_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7059/6772883334_4c50f26fa0_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6772883762_e218d764db_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6772883762_e218d764db_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7053/6918999483_d2ec4c5fd1_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7053/6918999483_d2ec4c5fd1_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7177/6772926638_4c753f9d6e_o.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7177/6772926638_4c753f9d6e_o.jpg) ---

I have to be honest. These are awesome pictures, but you’ve definitely done better work than this. Maybe it’s the car, it’s very bland. ---

It might be the black car in a bland location (lack of colorful surroundings). I like hearing what exactly catches someone’s eye and what doesn’t. +rep. ---

Yea chuck I think it has to do more with the weather/location, it doesnt “POP” like some of his other shoots I like it, but the wife would agree I like a lot of earth and poop brown colors :rofl ---

3 is meant to show off the profile of the CSL trunk. The soft light and shallow DOF made it look abnormal. I like shots like that lol ---

Jiim, I actually have a question, not really to do so much with this shoot. I’ve noticed in some of your pics they seem a bit cloudy, like the contrast is dialed way down. Is that done afterwords in your edits or is it just the air/distance setting in the shot itself? Almost like an intentional very very light fog or haze. ---
