Spotted for the first time in Swansea

After over 2 years of living in this city and going spotting (almost) everyday for the past 5 or so months, I finally spotted one of the modern hypercars here. So many coincidences aligned for me to catch this beast it would take an essay to describe. Nevertheless, I managed to get some shots of the Swansea Chiron. Not stopping 'till I capture the other hypercars though!

@Vantoorphotography Agreed, a beautiful spec too. Thank you very much!

Crazy find! I saw this car two years ago and it was superb! Cool to see it on AG! Great spot!

I just imagine the feeling for you seeing a Chiron out of the nowhere in a rather quiet city, must have been amazing for sure! Congrats man :)

Incredible find! The Chiron is such a beast. So cool you managed to capture it! Btw, do you not have a polarising filter? Would make the pics even better!

@Cars_in_Monaco That's an understatement! I've known for a while that there are some crazy cars here, but seeing them out and about is a very rare occurrence. Thank you!
Miles A. - 2021-02-15 at 13:23
@LucasH Thank you! I don't have a filter, though a friend has suggested that I get one, definitely something I'm going to invest in I think!

@Miles A. Amazing spot, i agree with LucasH a pol filter really gives the photos an extra. Hope you find the others too, love to see an active spotter in the UK because there are so many rare cars around there

@tk97 Thankyou! I just ordered a pol filter, going to give it a shot. Yeah I regret not finding this site sooner, and a few times that whilst it would have been impossible to get a good spot, I wish I at least had a photo to prove I'd seen them lol. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon though!

Incredible! I was always eluded by his hypercars, but glad someone is managing to see them. Great pictures as well!
Miles A. - 2021-02-15 at 14:08
@matthill Thankyou! A friend had previously seen this Chiron just outside Swansea and another friend managed to capture his recently acquired Speedtail after I'd seen it on the other side of the motorway. Hopefully I can capture more of his cars. To be fair you did see his 918!

You lucky bastard! To spot a hypercar like this in your own area must be too crazy! Congrats on capturing this Chiron Miles, and great pictures of it too!
Miles A. - 2021-02-15 at 14:55
@Chieltje Haha thank you! It took a lot of time spent out spotting and a lot of luck but it payed off. Thanks! I was surprised how clean they ended up being given how excited I was

Congrats!! Young man on your supper spot.. Well deserved great shots too! Maybe thats the first of many more Hyoercars your way. Got my vote tonight for sure.

@tdv_photography, @cross74, @sam.31, @JCS_carphotography, @carphotography_lpw_20 Thanks all!

That's a great day for you! Unusual spec and find, Miles! Congrats on SOTD! You don't see a hypercar every day. In my city I saw a maximum of G 63 2018, RR Wraith, Bentley Continental GT 2018. I can't wait to start photographing cars. This will most likely be in early summer, but it is not certain. Will you watch my spots?
Miles A. - 2021-02-16 at 11:29
@caymangt4, Thanks! .. @Exclusive BeNeLux Thanks mate! For sure man, I look forward to seeing what you can spot!

Amazing catch and pictures! Is there also an Audi R8 in the back at picture 9?
Jjrivero - 2021-02-16 at 22:13
Incredible catch Miles, huge congrats on finally catching this amazing Hypercar! Excellent job behind the camera as well. I hope that you catch the other Hypercars that are lurking in your city. In my city, supercars are extremely rare so I get very excited when I spot them!

There's something about car pictures taken with proper good cameras that really do it for me, even the rusty Sprinter van comes out good!
