The 545 is very nice looking. A classic beauty.

I put a wide/r/ angle lens on and put it on a tripod... Extended the tripod all the way and towered it in the air pointing in the general direction and used a remote to trigger the shutter

So it was a pretty nice weekend in WA, so my buddy and I went out and took some pics. His car is a C230k dumped on Tein coilovers and color-matched MAE wheels. Yes my car is still mod-less.. I'm waiting for some money from my other car to sell However in the mean time, rear reflectors and Aux input should be here today

Nice and Clean.
I should have taken advantage of the sun and shoot some pics also.
Maybe next time.

Thanks!

I used a Canon Rebel XSi with a 24-105 f/4L IS on the majority of the shots... I did the aerial shot and maybe one other on the kit lens (18-55 3.5-5.6 IS) as it has a bit of a wider angle.
