(3-12->3-19-06) 911 Turbos, Lingenfelter C6, Z06, M3, M5,

[nthfinity]

a fairly productive week for whats been on the streets; its been dry... but quite cold (about -10 C-->5C) so the sports cars have begun creeping out :-D in fact... ive officially seen my first one-off car! nobody else will ever see another one; only this one... and its not even 2 weeks old!!
http://www.lingenfelter.com/class_lists.htm !!! super hot! i love it! (i have a suspicion who it might own it... but im really not sure)

ok, also; 2 new E60 M5's this week! people really love them! also, some E46 3M's, an E36 M3, and a SUPER RARE E24 M6 in great condition (and also pulled over for speeding :lol: ) the GT2, im not sure if it is or isnt... it had the 'de-badge' option; a cross member in the place of rear seats, with a camera mount, and racing harnesses... (could 'just' be a turbo)

A C4 with upwards of 500 hp (not sure how much more...) a black C6 Z06, some Mustangs, and a Saleen stang... it can only get better with warmer weather!

the m6 is beautiful, too bad the pics dont have sound for the lingenfelter. :cry:

[bmagni]

rare sightings, the lingenfelter, the m6...
nice pics!

the GT2 isn't a GT2 btw.

[dingo]

Yep, it ain't a GT2 - it has the Turbo front bumper and rear wiper. ;)

Nice C6 too, looks so menacing! Love the white M5 aswell, not so common.

Thanks.

[TT]

Very nice update for a cold week :D The white M5 is just :love:

LMAO at the red Mustang's driver: one hand using the phone, the other shielding him from the sun! Who the fuck is keeping the steering wheel????????

I wanted to pick this one as candidate for the next contest:

very nice situation IMO, but I fear the quality is not good enough to make it shine...

The fake GT2 was interesting too, but beeing a fake and having a car in the frame kinda spoils it :P

So for now, for you, I have the silver M5 at night on file:
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/518/medium/nthfinity2.jpg

The Saab's panning shot is almost perfect :good:
BTW, I noticed a big drop in quality in night/dark shots, like the black M5 (first two pics) or thw CTS :hmm: do you know why? it's full of noise but not simple ISO noise at a first glance... maybe due to editing?

its not a bad photo; but i would'nt pick it for a couple reasons.... he was too far away with the wrong lens in hand, i was in the car at the time, so the angle is bad, and i cropped a whole lot of the picture to make it "appear" not such bad circumstances.

yeah... i had to post it because its an M5; and its still sharp... the grain is due to post-processing; but being about -15C (evening temp drop) i was in no particular state of mind to get a good pic :( and didn't check on the settings i was taking; and just left. so would i either post something terribly underexposed, or pretty grainy.

i probobly wouldn't have taken a picture of the saab if i hadn't owned a 9000 turbo... its 'pretty' good, but the front gets a bitout of focus...

unfortunately, the car was not in a very opertune place to shoot it... and i wasnt about to wait some hours for him to stop golfing :P
perhaps by next week' i'll see it again. sorry

[TT]

You are pretty brave trying to shoot a panning shot at 1/20 LOL! When it's too dark to have decent speed, even with my IS, I don't even try usually because I know I'll be owned :D

BTW, be carefull when shooting at such cold T as -15! It begins to be a bit low, if not for your 20D, for your lenses maybe!

You made a great job, i was just hopeing that you maybe had any bonus pics, becouse i love cars to be in the pic not by themselves ( :oops: )
I love the car to be a part of the pic...and not that they are the pic :lol:

Thanks anyway :)

1/30 is usually the slowest i'd opt for; if only for reading it in books that is what is generally accepted as slowest speed a human can keep steady hands... but usually, that isn't for panning shots :lol:

about the temp; yes... low temperatures are definately not a good thing; for the camera, or the lens... to reduce any i'll effects, i always house them up in my insulated bag to return to ambiant temp gradually; so as to avoid problems. (it was taking about 1.5 hours in this particularly cold week) the black M5 was when it was the coldest... and also why i didn't try to get a good picture :? Hace mas FRIO!

anyway, im not to concerned about it for the future; as temps are now up into the 40F range... id guess close to 10 C or so... and its only getting warmer.

[TT]

Yep, luckily Spring is hitting us too, so hopefully the car sightings stuff will spice itself up again :)

[Schwalbe]

It's nice to see that your "Street Sightings" gallery on your web site is growing more in more with many new cool pictures. Once again what draws my attention is the cars diversity presented. Even if I very like Audis and Porsches cars, I enormously appreciate to see other car pictures such as your awesome CTS-V night shot style, the black Z06 and the rear shot of a black Mustang GT, the STi & Evo combo and the surprising Saab 9000 turbo picture. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Nice cars !!

That black Vette is really cool!! And those two M5's are damn sexy too. 8)

That new Cadillac is so beautiful. I love it !!

The Cherokee is just :shock: :shock:

Ohh I think I didn't tell you: Great pics!!! 8)

[Wutputt]

Some really nice sightings! I'm looking forward to your next updates ;)

[nthfinity]

thanks again for all the kind words guys; its definately part of the "job" that makes it worth sharing with everybody :)
Some really nice sightings! I'm looking forward to your next updates ;)
hopefully soon...
right now, there is a severe case of fraud going on, and i cannot update the website... I cannot stress enough my disappointment in Yahoo's webhosting costomer service, and tech support. :(

this is probably going to kick my ass to move to my own domain this week.
