7/31 - Out of the darkness.

Day 7, & I'm guessing this car doesn't need much introduction :) but for those that don't know this hero, its the amazing Caterham R500! I won't fill this description with facts & figures on the car (as much as I want to, that's what google is for hehe).

 

So I was given this remote controlled car version of the R500 last Christmas (from my mummy :) lol) & it sits up on one of my shelves looking all friendly like most Caterhams do, so I thought I'd try & give it an evil twist, hopefully this has come across in the picture... grrr menacing! hehe

 

Used a strobe & a huge piece of black card to achieve this, as well as of course the Canon 60mm Macro lens hehe :D

 

The Caterhams themselves have played quite a large part in my life in the past few years, firstly my family owns one of the cars, my father to be exact & he rents it out as part of his business, I've had a cheeky drive or two in it since its been in his ownership of course... the Nurburgring could have been involved at one point also ;) but anyway I'm side tracking...

 

Secondly, & on a much more important level to me, Caterham the company itself has given me some fantastic opportunities in the past, allowing me to do photography work for them & help get my name out there, so a huge thank you goes out to the entire team there, you will not meet a crazier group that make up what is basically a car dealership hehe, nutters :D

 

So there you have it, this little car represents a lot to me :)
