Well, I only did in high-res the ones where you can't see strange reflects because of the windshield or other imperfections ;) or also car parked between others...

i wish those cars where that common here in the US

TT, i'm wondering, are cars that cheap in swiss? Cus you show us all the time those great pics and you would take weeks to shoot cars like that here in belgium. Unless you go to Knokke on a hot summersday...

Well, for sure the taxes we pay on cars are much lower than in most part of Europe.. but still such cars are not really "cheap"... it's just that probably Lausanne and were my parents live, as long as Geneve, Zurich and St.Moritz, are packed with wealthy people ;)

Erez - the 996 Cabrio was shoot from very far away and the resulting pic is just a small cropping.. to do a 1600x1200 the car would have been very small and you would have just an high-res petrol station pic ;)
The CL was very blurry.. it's ok that small but some sharpening but not in high-res
Same goes for the SLK
And the 350Z had cars on both sides, crappy ones :D

[b]dani - are you referring to the second Jag? Because I think the first is a R while not sure for the second ;)

Nice pics TT!!

By the way, I was wondering: the car wich you labeled as "At night.. very sad because the car is amazing! (CLICK FOR 1600x1200)"

Is that an bmw 645? That's what I guess from the back lights & the alloys.

Oh and something else: man, how the fuck do you take some many pics while driving :P I know that there are a lot of nice cars in Swiss, but this is incredible.
So your girlfriend drives all the time while you take pics, or you have something like the apache helicopter has, a photo camera that points itself in the direction of where you're looking :D

TT
05-11-2004, 05:46 AM
Yep a 645 :D

And dude.. I drive AND take pics :D... I have the camera always hanging from my neck, always on ;) and beeing 8 MP I don't need to use the zoom... so it's just point, wait for the focus to be ok and shoot ;)
But of course for some of the trickier pics I stop for a while LOL ;) or at least slow down a lot if nobody follows me :D

Ok, when you will manage to make an e-brake U-turn with just to hands and the handbrake, steering wheel and camera to handle, let me know how to do that ;)
And anyway, having a RWD car basically the handbrake isn't needed ;) if only tires where free ;)

And Pato, I know, in that area for sure Porsche are common! I saw a nice and white 328 in Italy but I had not the camera with me sadly ;)

And also saw a couple of Modenas on the highway, but both in the wrong direction :?

Very nice sightings indeed! I don't know why, but I get the feeling you spent more time hunting for cars than you did with your parents. :twisted:
