Driving down the M4 the other day and said "hey, that looks like my shot", turns out it is my shot
Thought i'd go back today and get a snap seeing as it's my first billboard
Funny thing is they didn't tell me where or when it was going up
Anyway i'm stoked to have something to show for my first 3 months of racing snaps...
Cheers to you guys here for your help and confidence boost to invest in a big lens and start shootin'

Thanks guys
Yeah it was a great surprise, and pretty cool how they can make a tiny pic into a massive one!
Yeah kyle i do remember posting it here and saying they might use it somewhere. Wish they called and told me about it!
Being my own worst critic i was looking at it saying 'i wish the front of the car was more in focus' etc..

Blur on the car can be artsy, i'm slowly trying to adapt to it..

Thanks mate, yeah i'm pretty happy  In a few days it will be 1 year since i bought my first camera and found photography, and this is more than i expected!
In that case kyle, 2/3 of my shots are artsy, because heaps come out blurred!
Just kidding, i know what you mean about the blur, i've seen some ripper drag shots like this..

Congratulations.
I can just imagine the thrill that you must have felt when you saw this for the first time.
Now to take all of your friends for a ride down the freeway and show them your handiwork!
