Hi all,
stumbled across these forums and figured I might hang around for a bit !
But, rather than go into a whole preamble about what I do, who I am and all that boring stuff, here's a link to my website (where you can also see much of my work);
Australian Speed factory (http://www.iinet.net.au/%7Ericphoto)

After nearly 20 years of being a die-hard celluloid fan, I've just gone digital with a 20D (what else, eh !) and am having a ball.
This camera has revolutionised my work in so many areas ... it really is the business.
Now I just got to work harder for all those extras and bits n' pieces, although the combination of creative thinking and kit 18 - 55 mm lens is getting big thumbs up from all my magazine clients thus far.

What else ?
I love RAW ... seen and heard all the arguments, but I love it.
Don't forget to update your firmware to avoid 'freezing'
Gotta' experiment some more with White Balance.

Anyway, need to get some work done, so I'll check back here later

350Z in your published work section is sweet.

Nice work.

Yeah,
the 350Z was on the cove of Zoom Magazine a few issues back and has been in just about every mag' I work for.
It's only just been published in Brazil too.
But that's what you get with such a radical car.
I mean, when XSpeed did that job, even the Japanese hadn't come up with a twin-turbo kit, let alone the Americans.

And I think it'll continue to find markets ... definitely an all time favourite that one

Thanks Shane,
yeah, it was your drag racing post that prompted me to jump on here.
Us Anzacs gotta' stick together with all these Pommies that are on here, ha, ha !!
Hey, didn't you have the Zoom 4, 6 and rotary nationals over there in Adelaide recently ?

We've got the Westernationals here at the Quit Kwinana Motorplex this weekend, our biggest annual drag meet.
can't wait, all the Top Doorslammers, massive field of Super Streeters and Super Sedans ... all over 2 days.

Just a pity we don't have the same amount of 4 / 6 / rotary top end drag cars that you guys have over there on the east coast.

your lucky because you get the doorslamers, we don’t get them in Adelaide :(

we don’t get that many 4 6 n rotors here in Adelaide :( we mainly get V8s but there still go to watch and there good to take photos of

The drag racing post that you had a look at was our 4 6 n Rotary nats, click on the link and it will take you to about 150 photos
