It's that time of year that my scca region puts together a poster to promote the races for the upcoming season. Whoever wants their car on the poster has to cough up a fee and help design it. We were talking about the poster at the last meeting and it was brought up that they are having some photographer come in and do some HDR shots. I mentioned that I have some experience with HDR and showed them a few examples of previous work and blamo I'm doing the shoot. I'm far from a half assed photographer but I can usually crank out a good HDR photo or two. All of this has been meaningless talk so far. The cool thing is that the guy lives like 5 minutes from me at school and the car I'd be photographing would be a 1972 911S racecar. He also had a 930 slantnose. Saturday rolled around and he wanted me to learn the nuances of the old gearboxes in the classic Porsches and take a few action shots. I was more than glad to spend driving/riding around in vintage Porsches. After an initial little lesson and I was able to take the 930 for a spin, what an immaculate little car. Exhaust sounds soo good and has an awesome burble when off the gas. We drove the cars around in the countryside for awhile, scouting some good areas for the action shots. I parked the 930 and rode along in the racecar, stopping and getting out here and there and took pictures as he drove by. After we took enough action shots we drove back to pick up the 930. I got out and he offered to let me drive the racecar. All I know is that you haven't lived until you've hear an old aircooled flat 6 do several full throttle 3-8500 rpm pulls. Today we took more photos but I didn't get any more seat time in the racer. Enough talk and some pics.
Epic wheels are epic.

I can put some of the other HDR shots up once everything gets sorted out for the poster.
