Default Rental Audi A4 1.8T Avant photo session (day & night)

A good friend of mine rented this car for the weekend and since I love to take pics, I had to take some of it (and since I love to post my pics on JW, here they are).

There was so much sunlight that I'm actually surprised these pics came out quite nicely

(ALL CLICABLE for high-res if needed and you are free to post them on other websites of course)





Yup LOL 1.8T when usually you would expect diesels or at least NA 2.0 or similar
























And since I was at it (yes it's not very well done, especially the front wheel, but it was done in 10 minutes


Now for some filters











Tme for a night session now




I'm proud of this shot! The car is the same of course. Just two pics put together and it took just 2 seconds














That's it no idea who could like that pretty plain car, but I thought some of the pics were pretty enouh to be shared

Nice effects there TT, thanks. My dad's sister (or my aunty in other words ) in Germany owns an Audi 1.8T and he got to drive it on the autobahn last time he was there and was quite impressed with it.

Its best feature in my opinion was the talking navigation GPS system. it was the first time I was in a talking car to date and it's amazing its precision even when you take the car into the strangest places!!

I use a Canon Powershot Pro 1 very good point and shoot camera when you need a simple one, still good if you need to fiddle a bit with the settings.

Maybe too expensive ?
If I had to buy a new cam, it would be a Sony or your Powershot Pro 1

Yep maybe a bit to expensive, but I prefer to invest more money on a good camera that will be ok for some years than to buy a cheap one that maybe after a couple of years will feel outdated

Please explain what you did to get the streaking lights shots - the last 3 and the first two filters shots...

Well as for the streak lights, I just need to let the shutter open some seconds, 10 in my case. (BTW, all the night shots were taken with 8 or 10 seconds shutter setting, to let enough light in. of course if the car is moving you will obtain some nice effects ) Those are the last three shots. there is no filter involved, just longer exposure. Of course camera on a tripod in the pic #33 you will notice that actually I moved a bit the camera by mistake while starting the picture, ence a little strange movement also for lights that are fixed best idea is to start the pic with the timer as I did in the other cases or with the remote control

As for the first two pics after the riced out one, it's just a standard PS filter: filters > blur > radial blur > zoom
