Trabant is a series of small cars powered by two stroke engine, produced from 1957 until 1991 by former East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau.
The German word Trabant, derived from Middle High German drabant, means 'satellite' or 'companion'. The car's name was inspired by the Soviet Sputnik satellite. The cars are often referred to as "Trabbi" or "Trabi". Produced without major changes for nearly 30 years, the Trabant became the most common automobile in East Germany.

Went over to Joe's garage a few days ago, and walked away with a bunch of new material. However, there were also some that were a wee bit odd, but maybe interesting...maybe? I've always said that photography is all about "seeing," and I still believe that, but maybe you can take seeing a little over the edge. And these three are, "maybe," good examples of that. Maybe it's just whimsy? The British Underworld shot is the under pinnings of an E Type Jaguar, and across the way, another Jaguar, but this an older XK120. And the "hard underbelly" of the Porsche is something I've never seen before, and it looks like it could float! Lastly, the blue sky and clouds are on the hood of another Jaguar in Joe's shop, a later generation XK150. His shop has some windows going around the top, and that is what the Jag is reflecting. So, you either love reflections on cars, or hate them, and I fall mostly into the latter category. So, love them, or hate them, but enjoy! BTW, I did get some of my more typical shots, and I'll be putting some up over the next few days. As always, thanks for looking, faving, and commenting!
The $143,000 dollar Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the highest performing sports cars in the 911 lineup and is designed primarily for ultimate track performance. With a 4.0L flat-six engine, the 911 GT3 achieves up to 500 hp with 338 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 197 mph. You had better know what you are doing when you get behind the wheel of this monster because you could get into trouble real fast!

The Volkswagen Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in Germany the Volkswagen Käfer and in the U.S. as Volkswagen Bug) is a two-door, four passenger, rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, was formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network. Hitler contracted Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it. Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design. The influence on Porsche's design of other contemporary cars, such as the Tatra V570 and the work of Josef Ganz remains a subject of dispute. The result was one of the first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era. With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made. Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on (mass production had been put on hold during the Second World War) when the model was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the Volkswagen (or "People's Car"). Later models were designated Volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement, the latter two derived from the type number. The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German for "beetle") and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen in other countries. For example, in France it was known as the Coccinelle (French for ladybird/ladybug). [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle]
This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm and a 3-stop B&W ND filter attached to my lens. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.
