    I may not know what the flying F you're talking about, but I appreciate reading about it and seeing the photos! 

    Side note: can we talk about how great stance works photo's are? Their race coverage photos are something else.

    This is one that cycles through as my background

    There are times when I disagree strongly with the cars that they feature, but the photography is always on point. I don't know what it is, but there is a certain something that makes their style unique. DOF is never too shallow, lighting is always great.... not sure what else, but it's very recognizable.

      post-processing filters. also, the motion blue in those race shots is enhanced. the back half of that z4 isnt moving slower than the front half. 

      he's a great photographer, though! your right about the lighting and DOF. probably using a big 'ol $3,000 200mm prime lens to achieve those great blurry fore and backgrounds in his standard car shots.

          Finally got around to replacing shocks and struts on my daily, and threw some H&R sport springs while I was at it. Ride height is pretty ideal now. 

          Not sure if I’ve mentioned this car here, but it’s a 2011 535xi sport that I picked up a year and a half ago.

                  Took the Konica 1.4 apart. I got most of the gunk out of it and it's a lot sharper now. Once I get the right cleaners, I'll have to get back in there to remove what's left of the fungus. Since I'll be taking it apart again anyway, I figured I'd have some fun and put a piece of cardboard with a square hole cut in it behind the aperture. Square bokeh! 🤣

                    That's a really cool effect! I wonder what it'd look like in more general photography of like cars and stuff?

                      I do find it pretty entertaining, but for most purposes I think it would be distracting. It kind of pulls focus off of the subject which is usually the opposite of what you're trying to do.

                        Good to know. I've debated whether or not I want to go down the dark road of engine/tune modifications on this car. I'm probably picking up an e30 vert in the next week, so I'm trying to avoid other unnecessary expenses for a bit.

                                        I'm more interested in who this Michigan Sauce Boss is.  I clicked his profile and was very disappointed to find that he has nothing to do with any Michigan sauces.

                                          Oh no. Based on the profiles that are commenting on this guys stuff i’m pretty sure he is serious.

                                          A Chevy Equinox only deserves to have 1 photo taken of it. The purpose of that photo is to encourage customers to pay for an upgrade at the Budget Rent-A-Car desk.

                                          It can't be real.  It just can't.  How can someone actually do these things and not knowingly do it because they think it's funny to have "haters".  I can't accept that someone is doing it because they think it's tasteful.
