I live in Puerto Rico, and the photos are from a local track in Ponce, the 2nd largest city. Track rules are pretty lenient and in the first photo I am standing on a 3 foot high wall on the inside of a 180 degree corner. I am probably 4' away from the car shooting with a 12-24 on a 7DII. My side of the wall is filled with dirt so I can't stand behind it.
I'm divorced, so I have little or no concern for my personal safety. At one point a race official came over and told me that the hay bales I was standing behind would not stop a skidding car. They were meant to cushion the cycle riders who might go in head first. I know, but the photos are cool, I said...
Anyway, glad you like them.

Hi Tex.
Thanks, I thought you were close, but that is close.
Surely post divorce is when you stop wishing it was all ended and start taking care again! ;D
Cheers, Graham.

Please pardon the multiple posts, but I have a dumb technical question to ask. I originally uploaded these images onto my Photobucket site, but after linking them to Canon Rumors, they appeared way too wide. I've never had this issue before. What am I doing wrong?
As an alternative, I attached the images directly into the post, but now the color temperature and saturation is off. What gives?
With that out of the way, we now return to more Corvettes ;D

Thank you, Tom. I very much enjoy your images as well.
I use a pair of White Lightning monolights for the full car shots and a pair of 550EXs for the detail shots. On very rare occasion I mix in a third light.

V8Beast, you tease us Sir!!!
That Silver C3 (?) engine bay is automotive pornography
, incredible example!! Even though that C7 is a 1200bhp variant, I’d still have the Silver one!!
I love the rolling chassis too, I have one like that of the McLaren MP-12C (I’ll find them and post later) they loved telling people that the word “Mclaren” was etched instead of being embossed to save a further 2.3 grams!!!
Your photo’s are amazing, I loved every single one of them.

Great images as usual V8. I love the rolling chassis shots - you've done them great credit for the effort they put into attention to detail. What body are they clothing it in?
I moved house recently and I met my new neighbour on the weekend. It turns out he has a nicely restored white '65 289 powered Mustang and a purple 32 coupe running an 8 stack injected 302. So I might have some new subjects to shoot

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen
Please post pics the the McLaren chassis if you manage to locate it. I'd love to see it
The chassis is for a 1957 Chevy. The shop I shot this for makes full chassis like this for all kinds of cars. They're putting one together right now for an old Alfa Romeo.
It's always nice to have neighbors with cool cars. I noticed a nice '68 Charger parked outside down the street form me. I might have to pay the owner a visit.
