For Tony, A Non-HDR Studebaker
I recall your fondness for Studebakers, and along with your distain of
all things HDR. So I thought you might enjoy this Non-HDR image of a 1932 Studebaker Indy Special Racer. http://adobe.ly/1Mfq417 -- Regards, Savageduck |

Having grown up in Indianapolis, I know that race cars go around counterclockwise. I have the same problem in viewing some UK shots of point-to-point racing. They run clockwise. Studebakers were made in Indiana up in South Bend, so I probably saw more Studebakers on the streets than many people who grew up in different states would have. Also, one of my best friends in college owned a Golden Hawk. That was the car we were in one night when we were driving along a country road and a deer suddenly appeared on the road. The car hit the deer, the deer rolled across the hood and the top of the car, and back onto the road. The car had a few scratches on the hood and top, but no major damage. The deer bounded off back into the woods so we didn't know what damage was done to it. The advantages of a streamlined design! This is one of my more recent Studebaker captures: http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Rusty-...6-10-63-XL.jpg This one works better in black-and-white, but I never uploaded it to Smugmug. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Rusty-...2-15-38-XL.jpg This one is not a very interesting photograph in itself, but I do like the note that the owner has in the window. Rather an understatement. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Rusty-...4-27-10-XL.jpg Here is a little yellow something for you. ....and it is not an HDR. ;-) http://adobe.ly/18owQTf -- Regards, Savageduck |

In my opinion, race cars of that era were much more aesthetically pleasing than their modern day counterparts. John |

I have always had a problem with rude people stepping into the frame as I'm about to shoot. I don't get it. Stranger still, they are invariably female. Strangest of all, they are almost always very attractive. I am baffled. |

Indianapolis has a road course through the infield. When cars use it they go clockwise and motorcycles go counterclockwise. Correct! It is the "Corkscrew" at Laguna Seca, and it does run anti or counterclockwise (depending on your particular taste). My position was on the hill under the trees, where I could see the vehicles coming directly down the drop off into that radical elevation change starting with the left curve over the top, then the left to right to left switch back, into the sweep at the bottom. I believe Tony thought that the blue & white curb indicated the outside of an oval track running clockwise. Laguna Seca is no oval, and there is more to driving there than only making a left turn. BTW: that elevation change is one of the greatest on any motor race track anywhere. The only comparible track is Bathurst in Australia where there is a climb up Mount Panorama with a subsequent serious descent. Most drivers liken the experience of navigating the "Corkscrew" to driving off a six story building, and having to maintain control. This shot might show a bit more of the direction change. http://adobe.ly/1Gvw9q1 ....and with the luxury of GPS tagging in the file EXIF, my position for many of those shots can be seen. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_20.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |
