Random Pics of your B8

**Audacious** · 09-05-2011 12:06 AM

Alright, I've seen this on a couple different model lines here, so let's do it up B8 A4 style.

Rules are simple, post a recent pic of your car doing whatever! New mods, cool backdrops, something funny, WHATEVER!

Let's get it started with a classic get-out-of-your-car-in-the-middle-of-a-bridge-and-take-a-photo-becuase-you-love-it-so-much pic:

Gran Tursimo & Forza leave out that metal drain on the left of the apex lol. I've seen a few cars blow the corkscrew and do some serious damage on it

Really wish I could experience it, but I think I'll start out with something a little easier...and more local.

ljnaum, the new wheels look great, especially with that drop

I use a free program called Gimp, downloaded off of download.com

Not as powerful as the other's are using. Mainly just use color levels, hue-saturation, only useful filters in this program is the blur/enhance section

For your picture i started out with desaturating all red/yellows, then played with saturation levels with the blue/green/torqoise till they were all on the same level and not overpowering eachother, then fine tuned master saturation to my liking.

Then went on to color levels, increased the white and slightly increased the black

Made a couple passes of sharpening, despeckle, and antialias, then finished it off with a slight gaussian blur

I don't know shit about post processing haha, this is just what I have been using after playing with it for awhile.

being chased by an M5 and R8... until the straight anyways...

BTW, NickZag, I never get tired of seeing that 458 Italia giving chase.

**ItsDubC** · 09-07-2011 01:12 PM

It's all about offset

**ddun** · 09-07-2011 01:23 PM

that's a lot of poke but no stretch

**Audacious** · 09-07-2011 03:41 PM

ddun how's the Alu Kreuz treating you? About to place an order for mine.

You guys are making me jelly with your track pics...

**Miles M** · 09-07-2011 06:58 PM

Perfect!, haven't experienced any steering deflection since it was installed. Gives you more confidence taking those long sweeping turns at speed, especially with all the uneven pavement and road transitions here in SoCal.

Good to hear, this will be my first real performance mod. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Socal, I'm not even going to try to compete with that pic. Submit that to National Geographic, it deserves the cover.

Alas,
Triple park while shopping
