PotW 29.05.07

Postby Glen on Tue May 29, 2007 4:47 pm

This weeks PotW is by Kyle. A great image of the older 996 GT2, this could easily be the cover of a magazine, in fact it is better than many car magazine covers which would probably not pass muster here. So many things to like about the image, let the viewer decide it's best points (excluding the GT2).

Even if I had the funds Mick (and I don't) I would probably just get a turbo, I don't have the b_lls or reactions to do justice to a GT2 :lol:

Congratulations Kyle. Well deserved. The concept of speed comes through strongly, and that's what that car is all about.

Speechless... :oops:


Thanks guys, and thanks Glen fo picking my photo!


Since joining a year ago, i've seen the amount and quality of motorsport images posted grow significantly, which is great :D

Motorsport photography may not be everyones taste, But it's a fantastic way of enjoying two hobbies at the same time. I love it.

Great work Kyle!!

Personally I think you've produced some better ones before .... maybe I don't have the technical eye though, just an emotive one ;)

Tell you what though ... I just noticed who the co-driver is .... "W Luff"
Warren Luff ... he LOVES seeing himself! ... Make sure you let him know of it's existance.
Is that the sound of cash registers ringing in the distance? :P

Completely off-topic Kyle, but am I the reason you even found this place?

Fezz was telling me about a guy he knows who was going to sell a Nikon, which led me to this site to ask questions about it. VERY unfortunately the deal didn't happen
http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?t=17391
And when I pointed Fezz to this place, he admitted he had never used a DSLR site before. Then you appeared. .... Interesting :)

Just goes to show what a little drive and determination (and talent) can actually do. I'm still yet to get the 70-200 :D


EDIT: I'm an idiot :oops:
