Nice pics. Good to see another automotive photographer on here. I'm sure there are more but I haven't seen their work yet.

Nice pics - #3 is a great catch.

Every time I go to the track, I wind up with little bits of rubber all over everything - lens, camera, camera bag, me, the kids.....The only downside to taking these photos I guess :lol: Nice captures, btw

[Michaelmjc]

Wow great shots, is that fire coming from the last one?

[michael.luczkow]

yeah, running a little rich eh? :-)

[michael.luczkow]

guys, pic 3 is a great display of horsepower. not just the fact that the car is in the air but look at the sidewall of the rear tire. it's folding :-)

[michael.luczkow]

you pull that out of a cosmo? what country are you in?

[michael.luczkow]

i see ausie on a sign :-) now it all makes sense

[spoolin_photography]

yea there out of a cosmo

and yes i am located in australia

[michael.luczkow]

are there mostly built japanese cars there? everything i've heard about ausie seems like it's THE place to go if you want to build some sick cars and not have to worry about legal/import issues. any truth to this?

[michael.luczkow]

you've got some SICK photos on your site man. I'm so jealous.

[spoolin_photography]

it used to be realy easy, but they have clamed down on the imports now, but there are heeps here so there is no real issue of getting the cars

These are some great shots Shane! I like the first (Burnout) and fourth (Showing Flame from the exhaust) shots especially. Now that I think of it Wheelstanders (Third) are always nice as well. I guess I like them all. :D

Take heart Shane.. There is a fair bit of politics involved in photography of this sort, especially when it comes to the mags ( they usually have their preferred photogs). Just be persistent and make yourself and your work known and it will come...

[PhotosGuy]

Good shots!
