I guess I've just never been a fan of the stark white, Photoshopped background. I like the look of the surroundings, the shadows, the "real" look. The white background makes it look artificial and two-dimensional, IMO.

Frank, I'm with you on this one. The background in some of our images adds to the overall photo. Maybe we can choose individually?

I don't see why not.

I took a photography class recently and we learned how to take an action shot called panning where the car is moving and the background is blurry. It's not an easy thing to do but is very cool if you can pull it off. My friend that took the class with me is going to try to help me get a shot like that. I have to do the hardest job to drive the car. It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it! If we can get that I think that might make a good card picture. I couldn't find a good example of this with a car, but here is one with a mountain bike. Pretty bad ass I think!

I also really like the ones I've seen where the car is in the middle of the road. Looks cool - but not a easy shot to get

My 14 y/o granddaughter is just learning about those type shots. We talked about trying it with the car next time she has the time.

I took this pic of the very first factory backed 962 Porsche back in the 80's at Daytona. The car was coming off the tri-oval into turn 1. The place that developed the film for me back then offered me $100 for the negative. For some stupid reason, I turned him down

If you zoom in you can see who was driving!

So what's that negative worth today?

It was a really cool picture BTW.

Yeah, I took around 100 to get that ONE! It was pure luck.

Andretti, What do I win? And I don't need a slightly used Camshaft.
