Cars in Downtown San Francisco, CA USA

Ianspeed · November 8th, 2006, 6:44 AM

[update] Camera: Canon 10D & 24-85 Zoom. 1920x1280's on page 2.

Since I'm heading down there alot I though I'd start shooting. Be honest, I want to know what you think.

E36 M3 sitting next to the train station where I start my day.

One of two EVO's I saw that day, both driven hard.

[edit] S4 Avant. The first I have seen. Mom and kid.

Still working on getting a tack sharp follow focus, I think my settings need tweaking. Suggestions?

Sweet shots, especially considering they were just passing cars!

Framing that M3 is clever as well.

I really like that 911 shot aswell. You got more photo tallent than me images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Not a SUV fan but the sticky tires and the blacked out kidneys got my attention:

Missed the pan shot, went for something different, not sure if I like it.

sigh, makes me miss home man....

If you see a subaru sti 2005 silver driven hard, that's my brother.

Shawn · November 9th, 2006, 1:08 PM

Where are you now if not in SF?

Those are beautiful pics Ian, about 1,234 times better than what I could do. Mind posting some in hi-res? Specifically the 911 shit?

Edit: That is supposed to read shot by the way, not shit. images/smilies/blink.gif

watto · November 9th, 2006, 8:42 PM

That pic of the 911 is great, I love it.

oliB · November 9th, 2006, 10:01 PM

Dude, you're on a car forum! I'm going to pretend you never said that. That appears to be a S4 Avant, certainly no RS6 though. (AFAIK the RS6 Avant wasn't even sold in NA.) images/smilies/wink.gif

I really missed some good stuff too.

AxlxA · November 10th, 2006, 7:52 AM

I left San Francisco in August 2006.... Now i'm here in Madison, WI for medical school. I'll be here for four years then I'm definitely moving back!

Greatgraddage · November 10th, 2006, 5:20 PM

Visited California in the summer, loved San Fransisco. Any chance of that 911 in 1024? Would be eternally grateful! Nice pics!

how can you tell that's an M3?
never been able to spot the differences on the E36

Shawn · November 11th, 2006, 7:09 PM

I can see the rims and side mirrors are different.

The M3 'twisted' side skirts, the M3 front bumper, the wheels, door mirrors, and the plate says SFBAY M3. images/smilies/smile.gif

Honestly this can all be added to a standard E36 but its probably real.

The guy's coffee ruins it a bit... but nonetheless it will make a great wallpaper for my laptop. I love these real photographs as opposed to heavily Photoshopped ones. I'm currently using an orange Gallardo one a member posted here, looks beauitful.

Ianspeed · November 21st, 2006, 3:07 AM

Ok, film wasn't ready so I had the rest of the day to walk about buying cigars and taking shots.

Snapshot on this one as it came roaring up the empty road right out of a parking garage. Sweet.

http://homepage.mac.com/ihaddock/Forums/C4Light.jpg

Big blur, I think 1/15th of a second. Nice mellow sound.

V.2 So far less than the orig from the mags I read. Sadly.

Taken at night running to the train. Another snapshot.
