JCW Mini, slightly fettled.

On a recent trip to meet up with Speedhunters creative director Rod Chong, world famous car photog Dino Dalle Carbonare and our fellow Ring Nut Ford_Prefect, we spent some time in the windy forest roads close to his place blasting up and down through the bends. Have a look.

Nice set, nice car! Love the indoor ones.

and is it just me, or is that A LOT of dust (or is it that wasp that flew in)?

How do you get those close up shots of the wheels.

Yea, gonna send the cam and both the lenses in for cleaning. I also broke my 70-200 lens somehow. The spring that engages the aperture blades is gone somehow, so I can only shoot with aperture wide open.

Not really, I dont have a wide lens anymore. I actually have just two lenses right now. The Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 with a broken aperture control spring and a 24-120mm VR Nikkor, which according to Ren Kockwell, is one of the worst lenses Nikon makes.

Hopefully the sponsors will come through in December, I really like the 14-24 f.2.8mm Nikkor
