Manik the colours in that shot are amazing.

RacingManiac can you post the high res of that photo for my new BG at all?

[Ferrer]

I have never seen a more complex set of exhaust pipes.

And they produce what probably is the best F1 soundtrack ever.

This is looking like it has my vote so far. If you don't mind me asking, how was it taken?

Being somewhat tall, I was able to get this shot standing next to the car. I just got my nikon 20mm 2.8 lens and I love it. For a wide angle, it is such a linear lens. You really don't see any distortion normally associated with wide angle lenses.

I've been very slowly investing in the best glass I can afford. I've been focusing on primes because they are the best value. I just become the zoom instead of paying for one. Now if I could only find $1400 bucks for the 1.4 85mm or 1700 for the 70-200 vr!

thanks
