I snapped a quick late afternoon shot of the E60 on R1racer's driveway. All handheld. Tripod was in the trunk, but there was enough light and I shot at a high ISO.

The original file was run through a noise filter and then I did some minor work in Photoshop CS3 to clean up the shot. I then procesed the cleaned image in CS3 and here are some results.

Equipment: Canon 40D, 24-70 f2.8L.
EXIF: 1/100, f5.6, ISO 1600.

Original image, JPG:




Cleaned up in CS3:




Processed shots for different effects:

Some of them capture what I believe is the essence of the E60...style and grace.

Enjoy!

Seems that you know your cameras C5driver,

So let the pics flow in, please. I love good pics (plus scenes = composes).

Did do television for some 20 years.

It's processed through a portrait filter, EFXPro. Here's an extreme example of what can be done:
