Champagne Quartz: Bored on a Saturday morning...

DBV · 12-20-2015, 05:57 PM

I randomly happened to stumble upon the most amazing photo location this past weekend. For the record: all pics were taken with an iPhone 6, no editing, no HDR.

Note: the light from behind the car is actually a reflection of the sun in the glass on the building behind - made for epic lighting.

Nice ride and awesome location to take photos!

W/// · 12-20-2015, 06:12 PM

You should get bored more often man. These are freaken stunning.

DangerousTacos · 12-20-2015, 06:20 PM

I don't think pictures do this color justice. I feel it is more suiting to more of a "luxury" BMW than a "sporty" BMW though myself.

We had this 4GC in a few weeks back, also had a nice Individual interior.

Great shots of your ride. You are much better with a camera than myself!

shad2fast4u · 12-20-2015, 06:24 PM

This color is gorgeous

Meh, color doesn't make a car sporty...

ZMM_OMG · 12-20-2015, 11:26 PM

Gorgeous! I haven't always been a CQ fan, but your pics bring out a depth and brilliance that photographs beautifully. Well done!

lsturbointeg · 12-20-2015, 11:52 PM

Gorgeous!

cb804 · 12-21-2015, 04:55 AM

Nice shots, great car! What color interior? I color corrected one of your shots - just added a little warmth, contrast and saturation, hope you don't mind.

nbennettksu · 12-21-2015, 09:42 AM

wow! what a beautiful color combo.

Where in Florida? Is that JAX?

Thank you. The pic was taken in Downtown Tampa.

Nice images of an understated color - you get the feeling of how this color actually appears through these shots. Nicely done!

m5 guy · 12-21-2015, 02:20 PM

Classy ftw!

You think you could put the chrome trims back in and take these pics again? Would like to see how classy the car looks then.
