stuny Posted August 16, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2006 Rolf - A facet of racing we seldom see. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 17, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2006 Rolf, MUCH nicer posted larger. Nice catch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorbox Posted August 17, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2006 perfect shot....congratulation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 17, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 17, 2006 This is too good for S&L. It should be in "Human" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 17, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2006 Andy, a section of the photo forum is only as good as the photographs posted in it. I have to admit that if I'd taken this I would have posted it in the human section. I would also have been proud to have taken it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 17, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy & Steve, IMO this is the definition of Sports & Leisure Time. Wish my pockets were deep enough to indulge... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 17, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2006 This shot is lost here. There are loads of people who don't come to S&L because of the content of 99% of the shots and will therefore miss out on one of the best ones posted on the new forum. That's all I'm saying. {OT} Any Sports or Leisure activity that doesn't involve wheels doesn't get a look in. Where are the shots of people catching marlins? Where are the shots of people playing football or rugby? Or dancing, or playing bridge, or knitting, or painting, or doing DIY, or hang gliding, or walking the dog, or ...

stunsworth Posted August 17, 2006 Share #9 Posted August 17, 2006 Well I did my best with a shot of Welsh South Sea paddlers the other day :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 17, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2006 And look what reaction it got... I originally posted my "Out for a walk with Grandad" shot in the S&L section, but moved it because there aren't any wheels visible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 17, 2006 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2006 Andy, Many people who are into Leicas are also into wheels it would seem. Not so many into those other things, except possibly walking the dog. We MIGHT take a snap of someone knitting, (and would post it in "Human") but you might have to go to a Leicanon forum to find hang-gliding. Gliders, yes, hang-gliding no. Dean Bentley seems to post his mountain-biking stuff in "Human". Go figure! Brent and DD post the canoe/kayaking stuff either here or in "Landscape & Travel". Makes perfect sense to me...

andybarton Posted August 17, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 17, 2006 Why not hang-gliding? And why would a shot of someone knitting be regarded as a snap, when a, ahem, "record", shot of a car is not considered to be such a level? It's still "Leisure" time is it not? Why doesn't Dean post his excellent cycling shots here? Maybe, because they'd just get lost.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I'm saying. {/OT} Andy, This shot is posted here precisely BECAUSE it will reach its intended audience. The subject is motorsports. As usual, we must agree to disagree. Have you noticed how you tend to kill a thread with your O.T. comments? If not, suggest you begin to take notice. I'd like to read additional informed comments on Rolf's catch.

andybarton Posted August 17, 2006 Share #14 Posted August 17, 2006 Perhaps we disagree on the subject matter of the shot, in that case, William. No problem with that. Final word from me, since I do not consider that this has veered too far off topic, although it could go that way. The intended audience should, IMHO, be more than just the "petrol heads", decent people though they are. This is a superb shot that deserves to have the widest audience here.

elansprint72 Posted August 18, 2006 Share #15 Posted August 18, 2006 The reason I queried if it was now time for a separate forum for cars was because I could see the rising number of shots overwhelming the S&L forum. I was told rather shortly that this had been considered by the illuminati and had been dismissed. I believe that decision was wrong, and that there should be a separate category for what is arguably the most popular subject on the forum. Cheers, Pete.

abrewer Posted August 18, 2006 Share #16 Posted August 18, 2006 I believe that decision was wrong, and that there should be a separate category for what is arguably the most popular subject on the forum. LOL! Pete, you actually are suggesting that someone here is in charge! It's the internet. People post stuff. In this case it's cars. No one here has any control over that, short of deleting posts of cars--which isn't going to happen. We've just had a huge German Classic at the 'Ring, William has returned from his annual trek to the MOG celebration, we've taken aboard some lurking members who've become active by sharing their favorite four-wheeled shots....all of which sounds to me like people doing their favorite things, documenting them with Leica products, and sharing their experiences with others. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I note that no one runs around the other fora crowing about "too many sunset shots!" or "too many cafe' shots!". Or conversely, for a "tall people" section, or a "fat people" section. Let it be what it is: Sports and Leisure activities, interests and passionate pursuits. Thanks.
