Fun Weekend in Ventura - E30 and E39 Touring Inside

[e30polak]

So I hadn't been up to Ventura in a while to visit my buddy Taylor (e30fiend), and I thought why not bring up my camera to do a shoot of our cars while I was up there?

Not entirely happy with some of the pics, especially the ones of my touring, but this is a learning process at the end of the day. I still have A LOT to learn! :

Here's Taylor's E30, with his temporary 2 piece Riken wheels. He used to have white 17x7.5" Borbet Type As, which he sold and will be slapping on his white 17x8.5 Type As shortly. While I prefer the Type As on his car, I don't mind these Rikens too much.

Camera used Canon 7D

Below shots taken with a Sigma 10-20mm F4:5.6








(My favorite shot from the shoot, look at the tree!!!)






Below shots taken with a Canon 18-55mm F3.5:5.6 (non-IS)










Money shot for all the stance/hella flush crowd






Below shots taken with a Canon 50mm F1.8 - ?










Trying to be artsy with some night shots under the street light. no lights or flash used other then the street lights. Used the 50mm for these on a tripod at a very slow shutter speed and timer.







Really happy with the way these last 2 turned out!

Now onto my touring!

Below shots taken with a Canon 50mm F1.8-?

Really bummed about the 50mm set. I had about 5 other shots I really liked, but because of the low light, I left my aperture at 1.8. They all had very small focal points, and looked much better on the camera then on the computer. I'm still a total noob, so this is all a learning process. Oh well, I will do another proper shoot of my touring soon with the 50mm. While the wide angle shots are usually my favorite, the 50mm shots can be pretty awesome as well!











And one artsy shot under the street light.

Looks German.

Those rikens are sick. Idk why he would swap them out for 17" type As. A rebuild with big lips and they'd blow everything else out of the water. The stretch is overkill and looks badd though.

Im on the fence on the rikens. The As definitely look the part on this car though, he had my old As for a while, and the new ones should only be an improvement.

I have pictures of the e30 from Left Coast Low(when the 7.5" Type As were bronze and on Stephan's car, haha). I knew I recognized it. Really not a fan of the Rikens, at all really. Can't wait to see the new Type A's.

[Ollie]

Really? I like them a lot. Maybe just because it's nice to see something different

Love both cars, especially the e30. The plate rocks

[Merda]

I love the wheels on the e30. the e39 is pretty much perfect imo

[e30polak]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

As for Taylor's E30, I think the Type As are perfect on his car. His new ones will be white as well, but with an inch more dish and more stretch.

Here are a few pics I took of his car at the Avila event, when he still had the Type As.
