Just couriuos to see how many of you have been in this same situation...Just got from a 2 week vacation trip..Put 5k miles on my 1990 740 (Total of 304,000 now).....Took my rolls of film for developing, got them back...Two photos of my wife and about 40 photos of my car!!!!! What was I thinking??????This is my car in front of a tree, this is my car in front of a river, this is my car next to another car....Not only am I sick, now I am in trouble...Just a word of advise...Make sure you take at least equal number of photos of your wife/husband or you to may be in my situation... : )

    It probably wouldn't have been so bad if the two pictures of your wife didn't have her standing next to the car!

    Actually, I have some pictures of your wife if you'd like to buy them. JUST KIDDING!!!

    Ohhh, take pictures of People too. Damn! I never do that.

    Car in the sun...Car in the shade, Car next to Motorcycle, Car full of sand and salt, Car freshly cleaned.

    See, I think since we all do it.. It must be correct. Pardon me but I think your wife is wrong for being mad. It's manly instincts at work. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

    Yeah, I've had that problem. It is indeed easier to put the car exactly
    where you want it, take the time to compose the pic properly, get it to "stand still" while you shoot, and obtain the proper facial expression, both eyes open,
    nice smile and not too much double chin, etc etc with the car rather than the mate. Temptation is acute. (but not cute)

      I took that mistake and mutiplied it by 10! I did the exact same thing on our honeymoon! I guess it was a a bad idea taking the 145 on the honeymoon but it was so damn photogenic! The few shots of my lovely bride were taken on the ship we cruised to catalina and mexico on.(couldn't bring the car!) I didn't have the guts to show her the pictures of the car from the ship both pulling out and returning,not after all the others.I got pulled over for speeding also and meant to get a picture of the cop but I had taken too many cars pictures and was low on film.(pre digi days) He let me go with a warning.Digital cameras have only made the problem worse.Now your likely to take 150-200 car pictures just to get the right one,truely showing how nutty you are.
      At least my wife knows there's still love in our relationship.I havn't taken to shooting (excessive) pictures of other peoples cars yet!
