I was invited to the media day for a new motor racing series about to get underway here in New Zealand. I had a bit of fun putting together a few images. The first race is next weekend.

Re: V8 Supertourers
Mark .... all I can say is WOW, you've got them spot on.
Definitely my favourite is the first. I was just scrolling up and down and looking again at the first image; it is definitely working on me
The other two are great images, spot on as well but missing the "zing" factor.
Awesome job.

Re: V8 Supertourers
Good stuff Mark. If you ever get an invite to Formula 1 and want someone to hold your spare lenses ...

Re: V8 Supertourers
I also quite like the first one - it came together quite nicely. I've been having a go at a few composite shots lately. It's pretty hard to get it all so it looks like it all belongs together. I shot the car in broad daylight. It was a bit of a challenge getting all the shadows right and putting a bit of motion blur on the back of the car and blending it as seemlessly as possible. I've got plenty of other ideas but it all takes time. I don't think I saw the sun today.

Re: V8 Supertourers
I think I'll give birth to triplets before that happens. The media criteria for formula one are incredibly stringent. Circulation has to be a minimum of something like 100000 plus for print issues and who knows what for web based content. Bernie isn't famous for giving anything away I hear.

Re: V8 Supertourers
I read a little around the movie "Driven" ... Bernie said of Sylvester Stallone "Nice guy" - Sylvester said of Bernie "With that guy, it's always about the money ... every time we talked, the price had gone up". Hmmm - think I'll stick to watching it on TV! Originally Posted by Markvetnz

Re: V8 Supertourers
Very well done Mark. I think your composites are coming along great.

Re: V8 Supertourers
Mark,
I'm "shocked"! Case-in-point - that Ford / speedo composite is without-a-doubt professional quality. You might have found your true calling in life! Bloody well done mate!
On a different note however, I wish they'd stop calling them "super-cars" or "super-tourers" - as a Formula 1 fan, I find the performance of these "super cars" somewhat "amusing". Someone told me that at one track they lapped at 2:15 ... and the F1 cars were doing it in about 1:30 (in other words lapping them every 3 laps!).
