Oh look something different from me (NOT). Yes I know I am stuck in my niche, but haven't had much time to do much else of late...

Just shows that Ferrari owners do take their cars out in the wet, and even have a bit of fun with them...

Seems that Rosso Corsa Red is the favourite colour of the owners too...

Conditions were trying on the day, was very overcast, dark skies and sudden rain storms. All shots are ISO 200, varying from 1/125th to 1/160th on a D200 with 70-200 between f2.8 and f4...

Not sure how well the rain shots work, I personally like them, was also trying to get the others in the background on #3, am not sure whether I should crop the foreground off a bit either...

Hmm do these count as the Wet in Weekender 5?

Thanks for looking,
Brett

I reckon 1... 3 would qualify. Not sure about #4 though :wink:

I think #3 might just count for "five" as well. I think I see a fifth roof in the background.

I don't suppose such a well mannered vehicle could be aquaPLANEing would it?

And all that bitumen in #4 must be a mineral surely? :cough:

Great photos all.

Am surprised he had his window down in the first 2 shots - wouldn't wanna get any of that nasty rain water on the leather...!! :)

Great shots Brett, I love 'em all, especially the last one!!

:D

Nice shots Brett. Looks like they were taken at Mt Cotton LMVA and the circuit on Saturday or Sunday.

I was supposed to be down there training on the bikes but could not get away from my real job. Probably a good thing from the look of the weather. :D
