A person called Ken mentioned that I should shoot plates. I don't as a rule tend to like brittle targets.
But I did have a set of tiny plates from a long ago garage sale sitting in the slush pile.
it was kind of neat to see the "classic" corona of pellet shrapnel from the hit. More delay than the next photo.
Cheers.
Noah Purdy sets up for a shot with his vintage 1948 Speed Graphic with a Polaroid Back shooting Fuji intantant film in front of the Heritage Museum in Tarentum, Pennsylvania.
As ridden by Fred Rompelberg, 268 km/h on October 3rd 1995. He had crashed twice before this attempt at speeds above 200 km/h.
Check out the Campagnolo headset seatpost and Brooks saddle :)
Original decals on earlier attempts were Colnago instead of red bull, although I don't think the bike was actually built by Colnago.
A green water balloon, looped and blasted. I had to try this a few times to get this.
Nothing fantastic.
Dainty looking model of a vintage 1907 Peugeot by High Speed. These delicate little metal and plastic diecasts were available for many years sold mainly in multipacks by various mail order companies. Mint and boxed.
SPEED IS... when you drive your Subaru so fast, producing a mud-splash that fly several feet in the air and landed several feet away... on your fan’s faces!
The control panel for the speed is this entire mechanism. This is from a 2600-series train. It's all mechanical. Note the lever on the far right. Four forward and three reverse (brake) speeds + a full stop.
Southern Roadcraft Replica Cobra gathering speed. (The SR was a local Sussex-based manufacturer). The Brighton Speed Trials is the longest-running motorsport event in the world, having run since 1905. It is organised by the Brighton and Hove Motor Club and runs every year in September: www.brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk/
The event has such a history that it attracts cars from the earliest days of the competition to the latest bike-engined Radicals, Skylines and superbikes. The course used to be a bumpy two-lane, half-mile straight but was reduced to a bumpy single lane, quarter-mile in the seventies. The fastest competitors are doing c.160mph at the end of the straight and the lamposts are all cast iron.
since today is the last day of the Olympics,
I though i would build something to commemorate it ending.
I present the speed skaters!
Go USA!
A Sauber-Ferrari just before the braking point for T11 at the Albert Park Circuit, Free Practice 3, Australian Grand Prix 2015.
Special Thanks to my friend Justin for letting me shoot him riding his bike.
Daytona 675 w/ slip on exhaust
After the previous shot I salvaged the top (bottom?) of the squash for another try.
I shot this one with a lot of delay and used a Gamo Predator pellet. They have a little red plastic tip that is supposed to do something. In this case, the pellet tumbled and the little red tip is just to the upper right of center.
Cheers.
