Sounds like a fun day at the office ;D May I ask what you do for a living?

Hi V8, I’m a Consular Officer in Dubai. I got the Consul Generals invitation to attend the McLaren MP4-12C launch (as he knows I'm a McLaren fan) and a good friend is a photo-journalist for a weekly motoring magazine in his spare time, he gets invites to all the swanky events!!
He received the invite for precision drivers for the FF7 movie and got a few of his mates to fill the roles, he also got me into the McLaren P1 launch (I’ll post some of those photo’s later) and we'll be out in the desert for the desert challenge in a couple of weeks.

It's all about the connections ;D!

 

[TheJock]

LOL, thank god for good connections ;D
Here's a few photo's from the P1 launch in the Habtoor Grand Hotel ballroom, I was using a 550D with a 24-105L and a Sigma 600 flash back in 2013. Hope you enjoy them.

Nice work Stewart! Not sure having a McLaen tread will enhance wet weather performance tho ;D

Posted one of these as a bird and don't think that was appreciated so after discovering this thread why not here.

64 Falcon, the poor-man's sport's car in so-so unrestored condition still gets the thumbs up. This car died so the Mustang could live. My back yard, 300 mm.

Thanks for sharing Jack. The Falcon Sprint is still doing very well in historics racing over here.

Why is the top of the hood so blurred? It looks odd to me, but I really like the colours and the faux film edge, though I think the vignette is a touch heavy handed.

But it is your work and I respect that and appreciate my opinions are not worth anything

Warm welcome Beaver and keep posting!

 

[Roo]

Welcome Csaba!

The Vette is such an iconic car in that colour scheme and your shot really shows it up well but I have to agree with PBD about the blurred hood - it does look at odds with the rest of the image.

Love the bike shots and it's hard to choose between the treatments.

I was out as the 2nd photographer on Friday for the EDC – Emirates Desert Challenge Rd 1, this is the first time my 5DIII has been put through its paces, I’m VERY happy with the results, 590 photographs and 3 where OOF and they were totally my fault!
