A few from this week's winter testing at Sebring.

super sharp series, I like #2, but you could have cropped the building to make a nicer composition

3 and 5, I really like the relativly dark backgrounds, nice!

Any external shots of the Dyson Mazdas?

There is only one car and it is the former B-K car. New car is on the way... updates will accompany for the original car.

Hey John, I'm going to step a bit out of line here and say that although each shot individually is very nice (especially the last one), I don't see the variety and creativity I've seen from you in previous photo sets. Did you have more limitations or some specific client requests? Just wondering as I always enjoy your work.

It's just the nature of a test. There is no rhythm... no action... and as you can see, no paint jobs. You stand around sometimes 2-3 minutes waiting for a shot. Not making excuses (nor do I think the shots require excuses) but in a strange way, Sebring is uglier empty than it is full. It's an abandoned air field.... I think everyone shooting the test, in one way or another, dreads it.

True, I hear ya John, Without the energy of the race there isn't much to pursue. Plus with the infrequent cars, you've gotta grab the standard shots before you can get too creative. Solid shots nonetheless.

You stand around sometimes 2-3 minutes waiting for a shot.

That's nothing! ALMS cars are a bit more interesting than the national level single seaters I've been shooting recently too... I bet it was a bit warmer at Sebring than Silverstone too...

Edited to correct spelling, and to say nice shots!

Love #5.
