Designed an ad

nivek311 · 07-15-2015, 04:39 PM

Bought a flashlight at Cabela's. Decided to do some trial shots of one of the oldest tricks in the photography book. Drove up to a local empty road and shot this for fun.

And then decided to turn it into an ad. This car is just so much fun.

great job man...love it!!

That's awesome !

Awesome pic. If you're interested in constructive criticism, the words you picked would be a little more impactful to me if they read like this... "Joy is born in the left lane", or maybe just the typical BMW mantra of, "Pure driving pleasure". What you picked isn't bad, but when I think of what emotion the image invokes it's not what joy was born "for" per se, but rather what was "born for joy", or even what the ultimate driving machine has become. I see a king of the road in your picture, a smile generator. I chuckle in my car literally every day on my way to work because there's a stretch of road where I can select M2 (DSC off, Sport+, etc.) and unleash the beast with relative impunity. That's hard to put a price on.

Very nice.

Is your hood open?

That is pretty sweet! Good job! Definitely magazine worthy!

That ad would make me go out and buy an M if I hadn't already bought one.

It was fun, and this photo was just a quick trial to see how the technique worked. I've got a couple local buddies here with a YMB and a new Ferrari red that we want to shoot all 3 cars with. I'll post those pics when we get done.
