The Many Shades of Tanzanite Blue

KevinGS · 07-19-2023, 03:34 PM

Are you trying to decide whether TB is right for you? Let me assist.

On my way to Indiana U, I spent the weekend in Cincinnati, a first-time visit. And driving around the city, I saw quite a few murals. And I like city murals. I like taking car pix in front of murals for a different perspective.

So, here's my TB M4 in different lighting in front of only a handful of the murals I came across. Cincinnati's mural game is strong.

A Cincinnati proverb

KevinGS · 07-19-2023, 03:39 PM

Cincy is known for beer and breweries

A cool mural: The windows on the top left are real, the ones on the right (and the bottom left) are part of the mural

"Here's looking at you, kid" Oh, those eyes...

This skeleton within a woman depiction is brilliant

KevinGS · 07-19-2023, 03:57 PM

The full mural, just wow!

Nice pics. Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Sick Kev , the last few photos are absolute fire

Great photos! I find it hard to capture the depth of the color justice in pictures.

Art + an M3 = a Work of Art!

Indeed, it's tough. Under direct sunlight or LED lighting, TB really pops, and it's hard not to appreciate it's bedazzling effect.

Looks lovely. In your first few pics above the tanzanite seems to have a really deep gloss finish. Almost like glass.

Sorry, it's the Revaton front lip, which is an MPerformance look-a-like. It's been so long, I forgot. But it's in my sig.

Fantastic build. Congrats!

It can be a little brighter, too (no filters or edits)
