Like everyone else is saying, amazing pics! My favorite would hafta be this one:



What kind of effects did you use? It's like everything silver or gray is more silver or gray and anything with color has more color ( that make any sense?) Post more if you can.

My favorite one is this one below. The angle is great, but the framing is too far to the right. :D

Ah, I see it now. I have often let silver german-made obstructions slip into my photos to allow for orange garbage...

Test drive?

Did you drive the A4 (and the 8)?

I recently bought an 8, GT, silver, AP, just like yours. Great fun!

But, I was actually considering an A4 as an alternative. A dark colored A4 3.0, with small spoiler and big rims looks pretty cool.

Ultimately, I did get the 8 with no regrets, but I was wondering what your impression was? My reason for the A4 was a sporty sedan (for just about same price as the 8) -- get bigger 4 seats, etc. BMW 330i would be nice but more $$$ (plus I have an older 325i right now, 1987, in mint condition -- by the way lots of fun too ).

(just for completeness, yes I considered G35C but it didn't attract me).

Thanks!

I did drive the A4 - it was fun; but what struck me most was how completely opposite the technique for accounting for 'fun driving'...everything about the car is different....actually, the S4 made my 'short-list' when I was car shopping.

I'd take that 8 all day over the Audi...

Nice cars though - either way.

No hard feelings.

Thanks, all - for your comments! The camera is a Canon A75 - which can be found online for as low as $130 in some places. :D

I don't have much skill, just a bit of luck.
Hey, these pics are so cool men! What my surprise is, these are taken by Canon A75. (Mine is A60) Really look like Professional job.

Nice shots dmp. I have the A60 since it came out a couple years ago and can't get my pics ever to look that good. Can you let me know your settings when you took those?

These are the kind of pictures I THINK i'm taking then when I see them on the computer screen they are no where near it. Great pictures and great eye using the surroundings.

I didn't realize that my silver 8 looks great with the appearance package! Thanks for taking these!! Time to buy.

Thank you!

When I first was shopping for an RX8, I wasn't too sure about the appearance package either - I sorta liked the 'clean' look...but after seeing seeing two side-by-side, in person, I was smitted...I doubt I'll have money for any body-stuff - EVER, so I wanted to get it taken care of. IMO, the car seems more 'muscular' w/ the stuff.

I know what you mean, I thought I like the clean look to but couldn't figure out why I liked the winning blue in the showroom everytime I go to the dealer. Wasn't the colour because I love the car in all the colours but when I saw your pictures it hit me like a ton of bricks! I thought I would get the Mazdaspeed kit someday but the more I see it the more I don't think it fits the car unless it gets a FI upgrade to match. The appearance package looks like it adds just enough to distinguish it as a GT model!

I Like!! :D
