nice pics. crappy camera.

nice pics. makes the a8 interior look good besides that the camera isnt that good

The graininess of the photographs has nothing to do with a "crappy camera" - as BMWFREAK pointed out, the photographer used a fast film (assuming these are shot on film) because they were shot in available light - they are not that grainy really - if he had "pushed" the film (IE. rating a 400 ISO film at 800 or 1600) the result would have been much more grainy.

You are right about if he would've pushed it. Honestly we really don't know at what level he had it set. For all we know we really can't tell what camera he was using. He, and I may have to say she as well because you never know, might have been using a digital slr!

So we can really not tell about what camera was being used.

The grainy part of the picture is very much expected in a picture taken in such conditions. This is something that I tried to point out earlier. If he would've had the assistance of ligting, which is done when pictures of BMW's, Audi, MB, etc. are being taken, he would have had a better picture. Then again who has a brightly lite white room to park an Audi A8 in and take pictures for our enjoyment? Exactly my point!

Look at this picture. It seems as though it is being taken in some sort of garage? Well to the point... do you really think that this picture looks good because of the ISO no it is the lighting that is behind the car. That is obviously artificial

Sure...and that picture is almost certainly photographed on large-format film or a very powerful digital camera back.

yes, you guys are right that the higher iso setting would make the picture more grainy, but even so, its a bit more grainy than expected.



...and here's a pic i took with 1600iso

I suspect the photographer has used normal daylight-type film rather than tungsten type film (for artificial light) - this graininess is not uncommon for daylight film in low light.

Why would you say that? Wouldn't it also be very likely that it was a digital camera? If it was then there woudn't be the issue of film

In reference to your comment about what you said when I posted the BMW picture you might be right. But that just means you "might" so the probability is still uknown. I would guess, for the same reason I said before, that the picture of the BMW was taken with a digital SLR camera and of course there is more to it than just that. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity I would rather not guess if it was a digital camera or not. My whole point was not to show what camera was used but rather the use of back light.

Not to mention probably cleaned up in photoshop.
