We don't have your FL-smooth roads here in the Northeast. 'sides, he just got it and the R3 comes with a great suspension.

Looks great, Enjoy.

Thanks for everyone for checking out the pics and the comments :wink2:

As for what Mazda Eight says, the pics aren't that difficult to do, you just need a good tripod and a good series of stepped up and down pics.

Which takes me to what ZumnRx8, the HDR is a photography style meant to bring up all the details you would get with a set of more than 4 flashed iluminating every aspect of the picture. When you do this there are no lost details in the shadows. It is a technique used for motion pictures and comercial photography, it looks very dramatic.

Technicaly you take 3 to 5 pictures without moving the camera (hence the need of a good tripod) with different exposures one of them should be @0 the others -2, -1, +1 and +2, you out it into an HDR program and voila! It sounds a lot more difficult than what it realy is!

So that is why the 0 picture does not look that good because I did not use any flashes, but I'll post it in a few minutes iwc3707.

What kind of RX8 is that?

It is an RX8 with a better suspension, realy tight with Blistein shocks, 19 in wheels, and a different interior, the main difference being Recaro bucket seats.

Awesome color indeed. Blurred plates are no big deal unless you are hiding something. ;)

You should also check out NEPOC (our local NE Mazda club). Link in my sig below.
