Discussion
So, if a picture is worth a thousand words, here`s a little 30,000 word piece I knocked together to get the ball rolling. This thread "Shutter Speed" (see what I did there...) is where I will post the occasional photo, be it of my V8 Vantage, race cars, or other people`s Aston Martins that I happen to point a camera at. I hope this will be an interesting feed for you folks and if you have any questions, requests, queries please drop me a message and I will reply as soon as time allows, which is sometimes not often...
For those here that don`t know or are wondering, yes, I am a full time photographer, as much as a self-employed photographer can be full-time, and cars and motorsports were some of the first things I shot when I bought my first serious camera some 35 years ago... I`m not sure I like that when I write it down... anyway this has been a terrific career as among other things it enabled me to buy an Aston Martin, and meet my wife!
If curious, this is my "seriously in need of an update" website: www.treml.co.nz or you`ll find me on instagram as deantreml if that`s your thing.
Alrighty! I am currently in Japan for the 7th round of the WEC (13-15 Oct 2017) so some shots should be along forthwith!

Your photographs are clearly the product of many years of experience handling a camera. Awesome pictures. One of my best friends is Steven Speilbergs stills photographer and knowing him for a good while, I can appreciate just how busy you guys are, apart from behind the lens.
So..........Canon or Nikon?
My friend and I are both Canon "guys", which are you?

It looks like he is a Canon guy 
You`d think so huh... Interesting question due to the timing, as yes I am a Canon guy, (have been for 18 years) but in 10 days I will be a Nikon guy, going back to the dark side. ;-) I last used Nikon `89 to `99.Speilberg`s stills guy, sounds like an incredible gig! I always liked the idea of movie stills, photographing in a different time and dimension with his types of movies!

Great images. Have they all been taken for clients, or there possibility of us buying some prints ( or just the high files so we get some done locally )
I looked on your site but no store.
Thanks

Other than in the mountains the snow has pretty much stayed away, but the weather we have had has been mostly grey and dismal for the last few weeks, but I saw there was some nice late afternoon light today, so out I went for a quick click...

Great photos once more; what camera and lenses are you using?
Thanks David!A perfectly fine question, but a bit of a trick answer I`m afraid...
Firstly, most of my work shots were on Canon 5Dm3 cameras and several different lenses ranging from 11mm to 600mm, however I am in the process of selling all that stuff off as Nikon made me an offer I couldn`t refuse so I switched over in October last year. The recent shots above are with the Nikon D850 and the Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f4.5-5.6E ED VR which is an incredible lens for the price!
Secondly, a lot of the personal shots were with Fujifilm gear that was smaller and lighter to carry around for days out and holidays etc, but I sold my Fuji cameras and lenses last year as I came into a Sony RX1RII in 2016, and that is now my take-everywhere-camera. It is small with outstanding optical and sensor quality, albeit with a fixed 35mm lens which provides a slightly wider perspective like these below.

Another thread reminded me of these DB5 images I took at the Luzern Transport Museum back in 2010 when this Bond DB5 was officially revealed after coming out of hiding following a restoration. Had all the gismos, revolving plates, bullet proof shield, machine guns (which you can see sticking out from the indicators), ejection seat button and roof panel above the passenger seat, car phone etc. I thought I would share these for the classic aficionados, which is everyone, right!?

Thanks for the comments as always folks!
I just had my what has become an annual few days winter work in Zermatt, (a nice spot on the planet in the shadow of the Matterhorn if you`ve never been there, as well as a collection point for some extraordinarily good caramel vodka...)
...and on the way home I went direction Furka Pass, which is closed this time of year due to metres of snow, but for my purposes I can go from Taesch as far as Oberwald and get on the car train through to Realp, after which I can then drive down through Andermatt to just north of the Gotthard tunnel, a trip I`ve done a few times in either direction, and while you don`t get to drive the Furka proper, there are still some much better roads than just beating along the highway, and on a mostly dry and sunny day with limited traffic it was a good run (unlike the often cluttered summertime Furka experience) with time to pull over for a couple of obligatory photos along the way!
I hope this whets the appetite for those of you that are soon taking your cars out of hibernation!

I was skiing there in February , it’s a beautiful place to go for a week of indulgence of all the senses.
Fancy going back in the summer for a weeks walking in the hills , you haven’t got any summer photos by any chance ?
Sorry no. Several times between Jan-March only. We keep talking about a trip just around the corner to Saas Fee in summer but have yet to make it happen. It`s evidently very cool and a bit less Gucci than Zermatt.Fancy going back in the summer for a weeks walking in the hills , you haven’t got any summer photos by any chance ?
As I have shot no motorsport this year with the exception of some Formula E, this thread has been somewhat dormant! So here are some photos, admittedly all shot on my phone, and not particularly thrilling, let`s say more visually informative!
First of all, for any patriotic kiwis out there, in certain light and spec, the new Vantage has a silver fern!!
On Tuesday I drove past my AM dealership so stopped in to see what metal was on display. Along with a sprinkling of DB11`s and a couple of Vanquish were two DBS Superleggeras, three new Vantages, Black, Divine Red and Magnetic (i think) Silver, the silver looked best to me, especially with the quad exhaust. They also had their last 4.7 Vantage for sale front and centre on the showroom floor, in Ultramarine with a quite lovely orange trimmed interior. Amazing how the old car holds it`s own even in the company of the new boys, but the DBS is as spectacular live as I suspected. I was told their first showroom example only lasted two days before someone snapped it up!
Yesterday I took my son to Auto Zurich, where he had a great time inspecting multiple vehicles in a manner that would indicate there is career potential, and clearly we swung by the Aston Martin booth. Apparently all the buzz locally this year is around the DBS and not so much the new Vantage, although I did like their treatment of the white and black Vantage they had on display, certainly not a classically understated Aston style, but making the most of its sporting intentions, and having something on the bonnet other than just bonnet seems to help bring the front together.

Recently I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes (really. 30 scheduled, 7 actually) to shoot a DBSS for a magazine article. It was sprung on me the night before as part of another shoot and it seemed a happy set of circumstances despite the earlier than planned start to the day. Operating quickly between the flights of a working runway, the below shots were possible, with the help of the very professional Red Bull Drift Brothers of Germany.
And here thanks to a colleagues camera on high, me at work!

Beautiful ! just discovered the thread.
I have a somewhat nerdy question though: why the front plates of the Luzern DB5 don't have the CH and Luzern canton symbols like the back ones?
Thanks!I have a somewhat nerdy question though: why the front plates of the Luzern DB5 don't have the CH and Luzern canton symbols like the back ones?
No idea regarding the number plates... I guess as not being part of the EU the Swiss can do pretty much what they want, you can also get a squarer rear plate, with the characters in two lines, and you can choose what suits you car best.
Only the rear plates carry the shields representing Switzerland and the Canton, the front plates are in reality much smaller, like you can see in comparison on my Vantage in the shots below the DB5, but the Bond DB5 here was with the revolving number plate feature, so I guess the front plate was enlarged to match the others, size wise.
