Uncle Posted 23October, 2013 Report Share Posted 23October, 2013 LOL you can't quite see it but I'm at the wheel of the 991 in the shot looking out the back of Russ's Targa. It was the morning after the night before and my eyes are very wide as I'm alot closer than it looks. Like under 2mtrs in a $328,000 car going down hill at 60kph. Great way to wipe away any slight hang-over that I might of had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 24October, 2013 Report Share Posted 24October, 2013 lol you looked like you were having fun at least! I was amazed Thomas was able to keep upright round some of those corners for those shots Russ I don't think we got over 65kmh shooting those pics and we had to be really close together, we are closer than the photos make us out to be, lucky the roads weren't too busy that morning. We did 3 or 4 runs along a section of road, up and down and swapping positions with the cars, Thomas kept clicking away till he got the shots he wanted. It was a real eye opener to see what goes into a car photo shoot like that, Thomas took a ton of photos and I was surprised to see what didn't make it into the aritcle. For me the biggest laughs of the day was pissed out old mate at the Paxton Pub who was heading out to "look at the Ferrari's", I said "no mate, their Porsche's", "oh them the one's with the engine in the boot", "yes mate most of 'em do, check out that new one, it's worth over $300k', "F#*@ me, who would pay that much for a car with the engine in the boot"! Then asked the journo for the keys so he could take it for a test run after he had consumed about 10 schooners of beer after his morning hit of Brown Muscat. It drew a crowd at the pub anyway, I think we need to organise another run out there for lunch, it's a good feed and the locals will keep you amused for hours.

Russ Posted 24October, 2013 Report Share Posted 24October, 2013 I knew I should've got down earlier for the first outing - looks like a lot of fun those roads! I was more talking about the shots of the next morning, I was right up it (the 991 was probably just idling) and Thomas was pointing out the roof and still managed to take a great shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
