dL's WoW 3

[dL.]

Since I love taking pics of my car, I decided I should start my own thread. I'll be updating this often, especially when I pick up my Sigma 10-20 soon. Stay tuned!

In case you may not know me, I am from the bcmazda3 club. I lurk around here, but I think I'll start to post here more. Hope you like my ride :)

By the way, are we not allowed to edit posts in TM3? I don't see that function.

WoW = White on White in case anyone wonders :)

[RallyPlaya]

Absolutely Gorgeous love the White on White You take Amazing Pics.... & you have to have 50 or 100 posts to Edit............... Car Looks Great

[Tizmee24]

nice ..... white lady huh
i like the second pic i hope it doesnt clim up to the stairs

[b.rabbit]

The WoW is sizzling! Nice!

You need 100 posts before you can begin to edit (as RallyPlaya has stated)

[Donutz]

Very nice looking ride. I particularly like your rims!

[Notorious MS3]

Wow car looks really nice, I did not think white on white would look that good. And the pics really look pro, can't wait to see some more.

[Greg_r]

Sweet - what camera are you shooting with?

[FLIPDADY]

Great rims choice! Looks sweet on the car.

[dL.]

Thanks for all the compliment guys!

I just started photography so I'm still a newbie, but I am using Nikon D40 (the cheapest DSLR :chuckle )

dL

[Dan Da Man]

nice photos, white on white, sweet

[LockOut]

Very nice lookin' ride. I've never been a fan of the WoW look, but wow, you pulled it off. Very nice. Looking forward to more! Especially if you're a newb at the pics! :chuckle

Love the second and third pic. Well done.

Cool pics. Looks like a puppy looking up at you.

No tints for the front? Is it illegal?

BTW, added you on flickr.

[dL.]

Yea front tints is illegal in BC. What about Toronto?

dL

[LockOut]

In Ont, we can have tints everywhere but the front windshield. There is no number limit, but it's at the cop's discretion how dark they can go...

We can just hope that the cop's not in a bad mood! haha

[oni]

looks good!

20% is the legal limit on the front side windows.

I was going on this, and I thought that it had been discussed that the wording is pretty ambiguous, saying that the police officer had to easily be able to see inside the car, or something like that... I could be wrong.

[TheProfessor]

Nice MZ3, I love the white on white. It's very clean and classy, please keep it that way.

The rule is under cops discretion.... but the Ontario Cops want to ba able to see you through the front windows.... im 20% all around and still no problems with getting hassled.... its not a huge issue with most peeps

[dL.]

Thanks Professor.

Sigh I wish I can do front tints here... it'd make my ride look even better.

dL

[b3GS]

great shots! nice ride too

[dL.]

Alright I haven't taken car shots for soooo long... first time using my Sigma 10-20 with car shots so bear with my noob skills.

I think this is the first pic I've seen of your car where it isn't incredibly white!

The composition is cool.

Is that an art studio in BC?

Yep. Took it at Centre for Digital Media. http://mdm.gnwc.ca/

After looking back at the industrial site pics I took from last year, I must say I have improved a bit. Still have lots to learn though. Hope you guys like it.

seriously, i didn't think the lip that great until I saw your car, now I'm thinking about whether or not I want one haha

[-ToM-]

love your car man, i wanna get a lip kit like this, where you get yours ?

[The Wolf]

love your car man, i wanna get a lip kit like this, where you get yours ?

Both nextmod and garage16 carry replica versions of this lip. Can be found in the sponsors section of this site.

[ST3ALTH]

love your car man, i wanna get a lip kit like this, where you get yours ?

It only fits the Hatchback

[-ToM-]

really, i think ive seen some sedans with it, are the hatch and sedan that much different?

[ST3ALTH]

really, i think ive seen some sedans with it, are the hatch and sedan that much different?

Yeah the bumber is different. So this exact lip will not fit the sedan. There is a similar lip for the sedan though.

[The Wolf]

There's a lip for the sedan that looks similar. I think it's the type-r?

[gabbygenier]

lips available for the sedan are here. also depends what trim and year you have

Love the shots, sooooo nice.

Where were they taken?

[dL.]

Some straight road (in Vancouver) that's actually access for cyclists only. It's quite boring for a location but the sun was setting soon and didnt have time to go somewhere else so I got to think more creatively with my shots and post processing. I'm running out of ideas for photoshooting my car. Any suggestions (asides from rolling shot)?

I mainly shot these angles to answer some requests of PM from people wanting to see certain angles to make buying decisions.

dL

[n00bMeiSter]

^ Still, they look great! I like the old buildings and iron / steel beams in the background.

[dL.]

There's no contest in this meet. However, when you roll in, they decide whether your car is worthy of the show or not. If not, then you have to park at the regular parking lot. Fortunately, my car was the only Mazda 3 that made it in the show out of 4 in total.

Oh true, well that's still a great result

[The Wolf]

They're illegal here. Gotta be creative to get your hands on one.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Are front tints allowed?

dL

[GWN]

Yeah we almost never get hassled for front tints out in Ontario, I'm just waiting to see how long I can make it out West before I get pulled over for mine :chuckle

[hgmahaha]

On a nice day, I usually have windows rolled down anyways. No problems there =D

I hear some officers make you peel off the tint on the spot... is that craziness true?

[dL.]

I haven't heard of that but they do tackle down on tints. Usually a warning and request you to remove it in a month and report to the police for inspection.

dL

[n00bMeiSter]

So where's the pics of your car and GWN's ride?!
Don't tell me y'all haven't done a shoot yet!
