Thanks for the kind words! Yes, the 767B did indeed sing a lovely song! It wasn't driven in anger though, more of a ceremonial appearance. It took part in only one of the pre-24 sprint races, not the full four stint classic. But when it wound up that 4 rotor wankel engine, nothing else in the...

Thanks guys! It was a fun event for sure. I'm still working on upping my keeper ratio. I discarded a ton of pics for missed focus, out of frame, etc. I'll post up some of the prototypes and non-Porsche racers in another thread. Meanwhile, here's a few more: 1966 Porsche 911/2.5L by Jonathan, on...

Cool! Be sure to post up some pics!

Went to the HSR Classic 24 at Daytona last weekend. Saw some pretty sweet machines doing their thing. Porsches were in abundance! Here's a few. 1974 Porsche 911 RSR by Jonathan, on Flickr 1970 Porsche 911 S/T by Jonathan, on Flickr 1972 Porsche 911/2.8L by Jonathan, on Flickr 1979 Porsche...

Thanks all! My panning has definitely improved over the years, however I still end up trashing way more pics than I keep! Always trying to improve. I see plenty of folks post amazing pans at less than 1/50 sec shutter speed. I will keep working on it. L320Rio, I plan on staying on to post...

The Helios is a lens that everyone needs to have just for the cool bokeh it produces. Relatively cheap and easy to find on ebay.

Thanks pooley, Levina! It was surprising to say the least. There were ball fields in a sort of 3 leaf clover configuration, and the burrow was almost right in the center where the outfield fences faced each other. The burrow was surrounded by a single pvc border that indicated to me that they...

Thanks guys! I don't blame you! That's why I used this lens. It's pretty easy to find cheap ones on ebay, and there aren't any sensitive electrical contacts to screw up when you open it up.

This was a pretty straightforward modification done to a Russian MC Zenitar M2s. I took the lens apart and flipped the middle element upside down (reversed?) Anyhow, it produces this trippy bubble bokeh effect. modified-2132 by Jonathan, on Flickr modified-2127 by Jonathan, on Flickr
