Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[Speedster502]

Nice.

Photographic question: on the assumption you don't carry a small step ladder everywhere you go, for shots like that, do you just reach as high as you can, point the camera at the car and hope for the best? I've always wondered.

I think he just stands on concrete walls next to the car's. Most car parks have a wall somewhere. I think.

 

[Beerz]

Or he just climbs onto the roof of the nearest crappy car to get that high, whatever gets him the shot. 👍

Lamp posts in parking lots almost always have some concrete support or barrier at the bottom that is climbable.

been meaning to upload some of these for some time now.

rx-7 that i barely caught, these are very uncommon here :


Z4 M roadster, only one i've managed to photograph (the guy got quite paranoid, looking in his rear view mirror a lot ) :


Super overexposed Camaro, rescued via photoshop (barely):


Vauxhall VX220 Turbo, seen this before but i needed a subject to test some shots on:


1986 Pontiac Trans-Am, any american car in the UK is a rarity:


R33 GT-R, still as sexy and brutal as they come, love it:


1929 Beauford Coupe, will get to see more of this car later:

So for cars imported to the UK that don't have amber rear turn signals, do they have to add those?

 

[bondy_1625]

You know i really dont know tbh....

 

[Casio]

One of the greatest spots for me ever on the way to Uni today. I've never seen one of these. Ever. And must amazingly rare here in Australia.

Watch this space. Uploading as soon as I get home.

The last Carrera S shot went over pretty well so I tried a little PP on a shot that I took of the same car a few weeks ago. I don't advocate taking tilted shots of cars, but hey, sometimes it just works.

Turn signals can be any color. That (on the Camaro) is a rear fog light - mandatory in Europe.

 

[buickgnx88]

Oh I know that's a rear fog light. I was just asking because the Camaro has amber turn signals, and the ones sold in America came with red turn signals.

 

[1X83Z]

Most of the US models had orange signals too:

Odd bit is that he swapped the brake light for the signal.

 

[buickgnx88]

It looks like up until 1997ish, there was no amber...but yah those tailights do look weird.

Disabled? Driving an AM? Dayum........

Oh, and nice shot on the 997 exigeracer. 👍

 

[Speedster502]

To be precise beyond believe its a DB9 Sports Package, which doesn't do much really apart from give it some new wheels and little under the hood tweaking.

Even the basic Renault 5 was never sold here in Australia as far as I'm aware. Never mind this behemoth. This guy floored the thing and the sound it made was out of this world. I'm thinking this would have to be close to the only one in the whole country, I'm not sure how many of these were made worldwide.

Not super rare, but I thought this mint condition fluro-green 911 deserved a mention.

 

[1X83Z]

Disabled? Driving an AM? Dayum........

Valet parking - not disabled.

 

[Muzaffar]

Valet parking - not disabled.

Huh? So wait, a valet boy parked the car at the disabled area? Sure the owner would be pissed to find that his car si in the disabled parking area......

 

[Danny]

Disabled Valet?

👍 Great spot on the R5 Turbo II - those things are beasts, even for a 1.4ltr.

The valets can park wherever they wish. The entire area is valet so the handicapped spots are of no meaning.

Usually in the US (and I suspect elsewhere), Disabled Parking is directly near the entrance to a building. Thus, I don't think an owner will mind.

However, I think by law if all other disable spots are full and someone has the proper tag then they can legally park in a valet lot with those spots. I remember when my former truck club ran a show a few years back we had some lady who informed us of this law via a friendly police officer who told us we had to let her park in the show lot because of the disable spot.

In the show lot? I thought with car shows, there was an area for the cars in the show, and then a parking lot for other cars, and that other lot would usually included a self-made Disabled area.

Then again, at Cresson, they let us park my TL with the rest of the supercars because Michael used his grandfather's handicap. And yes, that is wrong.

 

[Joey D]

Hey I don't make the laws, I just follow them when the guy with the badge and the gun tells us. The show was a high school and was in cooperation with a Relay for Life going on (a walk for cancer).

 

[Rue]

I don't know if it's you or just Hong Kong in general, but you have taken more awesome shots than anyone here. The Maserati with the neon dancing off the black paint looks electric, and the 190SL seems to pop right out of the photo, like it doesn't even belong there. Fantastic images, Rue. 👍

Thanks! I think a lot of it is that Hong Kong is a naturally photogenic place.

This evening...
