Great shot Ron.

You really know how to compose a picture beautifully...I am so envious!!!

Thanks.

Like the breadth and depth + the BW lighting tones (in this composition), and the lead car.

davidmires · 12/31/06, 06:28 AM

I love it.
I also agree with Allan, regarding your skill as a photographer: Excellent.

Great shot! However I shudder to think of the amount of lift that the front of the 'vette will generate at speed - understeerus maximus!

with best wishes

Frightening thought, but I'll bet it has enough weight up there to keep the front end planted...

johnkuo · 12/31/06, 09:38 AM

Wonderful use of the super wide. This lens is looking to be a real winner.

Rona|d · 12/31/06, 01:37 PM

As the letters on the front say: Lift and weight-balance is "OK"

(This Vette was a real hammer).

stuny · 12/31/06, 02:31 PM

Ron -

Fabulous for its drama which is due to the angle, lens selection, depth, framing, and astonishing full tonal range.

jmr · 12/31/06, 03:28 PM

Ronald,

a really powerful image - well seen and made.

cardinal · 12/31/06, 04:34 PM

Wow, what a top notch photograph!

Peter41951 · 12/31/06, 05:36 PM

Yes, indeed, top-notch. Wonderful clouds and sky, and the Corvette is so well caught.

azzo · 12/31/06, 05:40 PM

Beautiful B&W and excellently composed image. Nicely captured Ronald.

Too much honor for a simple snapshot.
It was ment as a wish for a good start in 2007 to you all!

Ronald

elansprint72 · 12/31/06, 06:41 PM

Ron, that is a very good shot.
Can you explain the lens to me (I'm ignorant in such matters) is that 16, 18, 21 in mm, as in 35mm film focal-length terms, or in that new-fangled digital stuff?

What length did you use for this shot?

Cheers,
Pete.

Rona|d · 01/01/07, 05:23 AM

Pete, it´s 16/18/21mm at 35mm-fullframe.
I think it was at 18 mm, but am not sure.

Gerhardt Isringhaus · 01/03/07, 05:31 PM

Ronald,

Great shot of a great car! I drove one back in the late '60's. At 130 MPH the front end hankered down and it became remarkably stable. Thanks for the memories!

Rona|d · 01/03/07, 10:55 PM

Gerhardt, always a pleasure to help your memories, too bad i could not record the awesome sound it made

leseinne · 01/04/07, 01:57 PM
