Once again here’s another story, ….
In the beginning, and viewing all the beautiful pictures of the many cars on these forums, I decided that I wanted to attempt to take good pictures as well, so I went ahead and purchased a 10.1 mp/Canon Rebel XTi.
After reading the manual and experimenting with the camera, I realized that I am a better civil engineer, than a photographic artist, which explains why I have not yet posted any pictures. Let’s put it this way, there is no such thing as “point and shoot”, and the pictures did not come out the way I thought they would. I lack the experience to set the proper aperture settings, subject position, lighting, etc., etc. At the moment, there is no doubt that I have no photo skills whatsoever.
As for my son, and his knowledge of my recent Xti purchase, he recently borrowed the camera to take pictures of his Lotus Elise. When he later showed me his Elise pictures, as for me personally, I was very much impressed with the results. Moreover, I did not realize the potential of this camera.
Consequently, I bartered and bribed my son to buying him lunch for a week to assist me to taking pictures of my Z4. So, after a few days, and out of the blue last night, my son calls me and tells me to get ready and to go on a “photo shoot”…. As I was leaving the house, my wife had a grin on her face knowing that I was going to put this bought camera to use.
What’s hilarious is that during the photo shoot, I guess that I was asking too many questions as a father would, so I was kindly told by my son to stand to the side and not to comment. Basically I stood there and twiddle my thumbs for over an hour, and when I got home, I realized that he still had my camera… LOL.
Anyways, here are the pictures of my Z4.
Hopefully I will have time later this evening, and I will post my vehicle’s modest specs…

...It also seemed like he enjoyed scaring the Sh#%, out of me.
