The owner requested a "bright" version of the last photo...

 

A lot of great photos in here. Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks!

Think these'll be the last ones of the M5, for now..

 

Visited a garage where they're building an all carbon supra with over 1000hk today. The guy building it wanted some pictures of the car before it's done. The plan is to follow up with pictures of the car when its done aswell, and from trackday events.

 

That M5 is a proper f-ing wagon. I love it!

 

Yeah, the m5 is the perfect choice if you need a family car

The Supra. All carbon, all sweet! The engine is just a mockup.

 

Wow! That's one hell of a Supra too. Any word on projected horsepower of this beast? I"m guessing it's going to be used for drag racing, correct?

 

There was talk of around 1200hp. I havn't heard any specifics about what kind of racing they're going to do, but it's not a dragrace car. I think they're mostly going to do time attack and some drifting. They want me to come to some trackday events and photograph it in action, so unless the weather screws everything up you're going to get pictures of the car in action (and we're also doing a photoshoot when the car is fully assembled)

Here's some old videos of it:

Also, a video of their nissan JGTC GT300 (!) car. The owner has asked me to photograph it aswell:

Really looking forward to this summer

 

Attended my first trackday for several years. And it's the first trackday I've photographed. Learned a lot about my equipment. First and foremost, I need to shoot everything in RAW as the D700 shifted between over exposing and under exposing at will A lot of shots were ruined, and I can't see why the metering behaved like it did. But no matter - there's so much that can be pulled out of the raw files so it really doesn't matter. I just have to shoot everything in raw next time. And maybe play around with the different metering modes a bit and not just blame the equipment

The only thing I didn't really care for was when the D700 locked up and flashed "ERR" in the display. Turned it off and on again, and it started working again - thank god.
