I think I saw that Mazdaspeed3 in Richmond yesterday... that's based on the assumption that there aren't many black MS3s in Richmond, of course.

Anyway, I shot a bunch last night but only had time to play with one this morning...

^^ WTF.. you suck!! What's your take on the car?

damn! more of that R8!

Could have been me too :p

I saw an R8 driven by a middle aged gentleman with his teenage son on Broadway and Cambie yesterday. They were loading up office supplies into the car.

That definitely wasn't me, I look like a teenage son and was nowhere near any office supplies yesterday.

Car is good, although to be honest it's not my bag. Mid-engined AWD is a formula for a lazy-man's sports car, and with winter tires on it its limits are relatively low. I certainly don't mind having it to test though, although I've yet to find a gas station that'll sell me the recommended 98 octane fuel or even the required 95. Ah well, 94 will have to do.

I'll take a look through the rest of the pics tonight or tomorrow and find a few more good ones. Great car to photograph, that I will say.

I have to say that car is a beauty in person as well. I love how the body just FLOWS.

I don't know if it was office supplies or not, but there were two guys loading some kind of stuff into the car and the hood was open. This was in front of Office Depot...I just went to MEC and was driving towards Oak.

Nope, I stayed out of downtown. Traffic + crap R-Tronic gearbox = bad times.

Expressly taken to steal Mananetwork's Corrado style... You know what they say about imitation. ;)

I wish one of my cars would imitate a r8 hahaha

yea, you get what you pay for :D haha jk. nice car!

What is wrong with this picture?

Although I havent had an R8, I had an RS4 for a few days and it has the same motor. It did not require 95/98 octane, I'm fairly sure you're looking at the wrong part of the label which gives you the European requirements which are measured differently. The RS4 requires 91 and recommends 93 here...

i love that car!

I thought the fuel was odd to because I recall the RS4's fuel requirement, but the R8 required 95 octane AKI. Trust me, I double checked. And then I checked again.

And then I bent over.

550ex/430ex bounce off ceiling ( using the umbrella didn't look as nice need a huge ass soft box or something so i used the ceiling as my softbox. we also moved the cars under one of the florescent lights to add a lil lighting to the ground and stuff

Looks fine to me :p

First time posting a pic here. Took this with a Nikon D40 with kit lens.

What lens did you use for the above shot?

Looks like something in between 30-100mm?

I'll guess 170mm@f6.3

(honestly no idea)

hehe good guesses i guess the 30-100 sorta wins?

shot at :85mm/ f4.0/ iso 400/1/20 sec... handheld.

woot beat that rule of shutter being same as focal length :)
