Default Took some new pics at lunch *does anyone use 56K?*

We have a pretty good view from the top of our parking deck at work and it was really foggy outside so I took a few new pics on my lunch break, and then some before I left. I think these are the first pics of the new exhaust which isn't a huge deal, but I do love how well the tips fill out the stock bumper.






Somehow the colors in this one turned out perfectly just given the circumstance

I am trying to get savvy with the different modes and features of my camera, but its nothing special. Canon PowerShot SD450 and I have had it for a few years now- only 5.0MP.

Thanks for the compliments

Turned a negative into a positive... That bad weather worked out great for your shoot.

What trunk spoiler is that? Shots look awesome, I wish I had an urban backdrop to shoot more often.

Nice pics! The Exhaust ads just enough color and style to your low key ride. Very nice!

do you use photoshop?
looks like you played with the functions too much, some pics came out too much contrast like the 4th pic.

It's the infamous ebay lip spoiler. So cheap and I really like it. The seller periodically has them available so if I see them sometime I will let you know.

Thanks for the compliments, gentlemen!

I don't have photoshop, but a different (basic) picture editing software. I actually didn't touch up these pics very much at all. The 5th and 7th ones down in the first post were kind of dark from shadows and I bumped up the contrast to accentuate it, but most of the other ones are pretty close to what I took with the camera. It was a foggy, cloudy dark day and I just managed to get the effects to work. These pictures are the better ones out of 120 that I took, however
