Hello,

Felt so good to take some shots today after such a long gap, I really love photography and miss it very much when i havent got anything planned to look forward too.

Ive shot quite a few cars now but I still cant sleep the night before and spring out of bed like its christmas day. Sad I know...

Im sure they will divide opinion but I am very proud of these ones. Ive tried to put far less into getting technically good shots, instead trying to share my feelings about the character of the car if that makes sense.

Anyways...

Thanks,

Matt

Great pics again, my favourite is the first one, sums up the passion of the car, that engine is a master piece and is the heart of the car.

Me thinks the driver needs to learn rotational steering!

It's a good job he hasn't got a brutally fast car, because he'd soon get into trouble driving like that!

Super stuff Matt.

I'm always a sucker for the image of the red cam covers with the background blurred as the car goes along. I can almost hear that V8 winding up to the banshee howl at high revs. Marvellous stuff.

Thanks chris, I love that scream when it opens up, you would never get bored of it... Makes me think the spider would be the sensible choice, as you cant hear it too well inside (unless the windows are open).

Good point. Saw a bloke in Florence in a brand spanking new F430. He held back in the traffic and then caned it up one of the streets, What a noise. Brilliant stuff.

My engine doesn't come from a Mondeo, it's the Duratec unit as used by Jaguar and believe me, while it's no Ferrari, it's enough to give you goosebumps!
