    Yes, good to meet you. I can send you full size photos of your car if you want them - they are much larger. Just let me know if you do.

    Nikon D600. Today, I carried two lenses with me - Nikon 85mm f/1.8G and an old Tokina 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 from my old film camera. Next month, I will have my prime set of 28/50/85 with me.

    I listed what I carried today above. Today, I only used Adobe Lightroom for quick processing, but didn't even edit a quite a few of the photos, other than a basic import and export script that I use a lot. I didn't even open Photoshop today.

    I edited a lot of them, but not all. None of these were SOOC though. I run everything through Lightroom.
    I'll try to put together a walk-through of my post process and post it in the PICs forum. RandomGuy has a simple one already made, but I'll list my post process for event photos.
    Blank may also have a document for his process as well, and he might be willing to share it.

    I don't know on those, but I know that the BMW had Neez wheels. Those are around $8,000 per set. That's why I posted a pic of them by themselves. NEEZ International - BMW Forged Wheels
    The M6 is a Dinan S1 package (527 hp @7500 rpm), and it is his daily - it's just a normal car to him. He has a 2006 SL65 AMG in the garage that he brought out the month before. He is a member on here, but doesn't post much.

    The M division really needs to step up those brakes...they may work well but they do not look pretty...and for 100+k they should look and perform fantastic !!!

    That's the rear. The fronts are much bigger.
    The brakes don't need to be stronger - they already exceed the ability of the tires to grip and are large enough to not overheat, so there isn't a lot of performance that they could gain without increasing grip or dropping weight.

    So, are you suggesting that he change the rear brake rotors to a larger rotating mass, negatively impacting performance, in order to "look cool"? Say it ain't so.....

    I reworked two of the photos to be more as how I wanted them.
