Chris Dodkin West Coast Correspondent Jul 2, 2012 #5 Thanks everyone - the floor was a shiny black marble tile, and a little bit of tweaking in Silver FX really made the reflections pop. I set AUTO on WB in the end Rob, as the camera had done the best job with the mix of interior and exterior lighting. Dan - I like the current Cooper S hard top - but the soft-top, 4x4 etc are just pants IMHO. Learned to drive in an original MINI - so I have a soft spot for them

David Mitchell Well-Known Member Jul 2, 2012 #6 Looks a really good shot but yeah I prefer the proper minis - "if the oil stops dripping, its empty"
Beth Anthony Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2012 #9 wow, really like the details and reflections in the b&w tones. nice work!
Chris Dodkin West Coast Correspondent Jul 11, 2012 #10 Thanks everyone - NIK Silver FX does provide some HDR type post processing which can really bring out the details
