Understatement of the year....j/k
Now make an animated .gif of all those!

bavarian19 · 06-04-2006, 05:09 PM

In real life, it can still be even more green. I dont know if you can capture that well with a camera though...

just4kickz · 06-04-2006, 05:29 PM

since you have hella time to spend, you should camp there for a day and film the whole color change... and then speed up the fps by alot...

Great stuff Nikki! The only thing I didn't really see is the green hue that mine has under heavy clouds and rain... difficult to capture, but this one was close...

Any car would look green in a green-toned pic... White balance is way off in that pic.

ward · 06-04-2006, 06:58 PM

hey watch it,

I respect and admire Zeps white balance

siriusinvestor · 06-04-2006, 06:59 PM

Here's a deliberate Magenta shift. The tone was not Greened. One of those days where the sky is yellow in the wake of stormy weather... but granted my monitor is not calibrated.

KL2DC · 06-04-2006, 08:41 PM

Nikki...nice work. Everytime I see pics of your car, I kinda regret changing my original order from arktis to SG. It really is an awesomely complex and unique color

yeah it is an awesome color but sg changes a lot too in different lights. diesel has captured some nice sunset shots with a bronze color on his sg car.

Oh yes, SG has much character as well but the spectrum of color changes is wider in arktis than SG. Plus, arktis is decidedly rarer than SG

nyyankee · 06-04-2006, 08:47 PM

SG has a lot of the same color changing qualities about it. In certan lights in can look like a dark grey or even purple.

yeah i remember when i got it a bunch of people on here saying how resale value is going to be low. well, not if i find the right buyer. plus, i dont think i'm ever going to sell it.
