Neil Gordhan Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm guessing the only place for taking pictures of awesome cars is London? I just bought a new camera and want to take pics of cool cars You'd have a chance at pretty much any big junction though London is ALWAYS busy with stuff, best spots in London are Trafalgar Square, Lambeth Roundabout and Euston Road. Got loads of photos recently from several different incidents; LFB High Volume Pump at the burst water main in Herne Hill LFB Fire Rescue Unit also at Herne Hill, another FRU and 8 other Pumps were also in attendence Islington and Lewisham's Command Units on the scene BMW 330D belonging to a senior fire officer (american equivalent would be a fire chief) Probably 10 different cars like this were on the scene If anyone was wondering that this was a very OTT response for a burst water main the water was 1 metre high and they even had to dispatch a rescue boat One of the Met's BMW 325D's now being used as a spare area cars covering for one of Westminsters Skoda's An unmarked Seat Exeo Sport also from the Met - 2.0TSI engine with 197HP BMW 530D traffic car on a traffic stop! Quite like how this came out almost like a PR shot Brand new Dog Unit donning the battenburg, definately suits these And another one, conveniently near my house at an incident arresting some yobbo's with knives Spare area car also on scene - no idea what this was covering for as both of my normal ANPR cars were there along with 2 station vans and several IRV's Last but not least one of two DPG X5's on a hard stop in Embankment, this one cut up the car from the front and the one behind it boxed it in, something serious must have come up on the ANPR but it was impressive to see! Hope you like them, lots more on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/neil-gordhan-photography/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gordhan Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The redtronic ones the LFB use aren't bad but the strobe ones used by the Met are pretty crap the first thing you notice on our unmarked cars is the headlight flash in the distance!

theocd Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Nah, love, love, love. I don't like the US ones where they feel the need for 14 billion Supabright LEDs and you just feel that it's unnecessary. I like a good magnet light I agree about the LFB one's being better than the Met's though! The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsup! Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 British cars are underpowed light wise.

Handsup! Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 British police a list of light commands so they just turned on the back blue. Thats dangerous, why would you have only back lights on. You're not at all visible from the people who are supposed to be moving out your way, who are notified by the blue lights..

Marshall8946 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I was at the local fair today and picked up some pictures of the Randolph fire department ambulance. So instead of posting a ton of pics, I made a collage of all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCERT1 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Anyone else feel slightly embarrassed when taking pictures of police cars, lol?In my immediate area I dispatch for them, and they all know me. Elsewhere, if it's something where I have a chance to walk up to the officer, and ask permission I will. A little respect will go a long way with most law enforcement, and other first responders.
