PESO Jody Smart
Another pan from the 1982 NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown, New Jersey. If I recall correctly I shot these at a pretty stout shutter speed, maybe 1/500th or even 1/1000th and panned about as fast as I could while fighting to keep the car in frame. I prefocused on the rubber tracks on the asphalt, knowing the drivers would try to stay right in the groove.The tire lettering seems to support the fast shutter speed. The car is past 100 feet here, a little further along than the previous one I showed and is traveling at well over 100 mph. The tires show more growth than those of the previous shot. The injector doors are wide open. Top speed at the 1/4 mile in 1982 would have been around 260 mph if the driver made it all the way without mishap. (Today, top fuel cars reach 295 mph at the 1/8th mile and 325 mph at 1000 feet.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17975969size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Dario Everybody I know that owns and shoots with Leica cameras are truly interested in photography. However, when Leica comes out with stuff like the pre worn camera, and a few of their other things, it's hard for me not to think of every Leica owner as a poseur with delusions of competence, who has more money than sense. It's just marketing and a bit of free money for them. If it helps them to keep on producing the good stuff that real photographers use then it's ok by me. It looks nice, but I'd never buy one because it's faux and that would niggle in my brain.

I was thinking of buying a copy of Images à la Sauvette just so as I could ruin it, but that Leica special edition at only 10 times the price is perfect - now I can drink coffee and look at slightly blurred photographs at the same time and I no longer have to worry. I call that money well spent.

Then again, they probably think of Pentax owners the way that Porsche owners used to think of the people who drove MGs. There's a difference between everybody ... that owns and SHOOTS with Leica and everyone who buys a Leica. I don't think this particular model is aimed at people who are actually going to use it for photography. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
