    I was about to agree with you fritz but then I looked more closely and see that this was a very careful and calculated placement. The peak of the car is placed almost exactly at the peak of the peninsula and as close to the edge as possible, all of which directs your attention to the real subject, the Porsche. It's clearly not just parked haphazardly, like on the stripe or just over it. No, it's so far over the stripe that it's definitely deliberate. And in fact, the stripe seems to bisect the Porsche. Probably coincidental but it adds another element to what is already an outstanding photograph.



    Indeed! I tried to get it in line with the direction of the stripes but as close to the far edge as posible good observation... we have another Monk here!

    Hey Matt, those are some outstanding photos!!! Thanks!

    Great photographer. Great subject. Great location. That's how great photographs are made. Really good. Thanks again.



    Thanks Gary. As soon as the weather clears up, I will do some more from the same location with both generations (1988/2005) on it.

    BTW - your offroading pics are at least on same level.

    Wow! High praise indeed! Thanks Matt! Hey, maybe I can sneak one in?

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    I'll try to get one of the car with the boat, but until then, since the boat's prettier than the car...

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    I like the boat, great finish! What is it?

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Could be a mercedes ???

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Nah it's probably Italian???

    It's good to see I'm not the only Monk fan on rennteam.

    Carlos,
    I've always liked this photograph looking down onto the estuary, but you could have parked your car between the lines!
    I've watched a few episodes of an American TV show called "Monk" recently, about a crime investigator who is obsessive about cleanliness, tidiness and everything being in its place. It must be getting to me.



    Don't let him get to you or pretty soon you will need to touch the ends of the car antenas as you walk by!


    That's why I drive a Porsche. The antenna's embedded in the windshield.

    Nah! Can't imagine Monk drinking Starbucks coffee.

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Thanks, sorry for being OT. The "majestic blue" topsides are awlgrip, a linear polyurethane, two-part like epoxy from what I understand. The transom is teak, finished with eight or so layers of varnish (Hinckley proprietary), and then with awlclear, a clear linear two-part polyurethane.

    Maiden voyage from Southwest Harbor, ME to Nantucket, MA is in a couple of weeks. I'm stoked.

    "That's why I drive a Porsche. The antenna's embedded in the windshield."
    If I walk past a P-car I touch the windshield ever so lightly and shrug.

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Wild speed...that's a beautiful colour...

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    I kinda like this one:

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    subtle hint, I like that

    "Shrug"? That wouldn't be Monk's style at all . Much too nonchalant .

    "Shudder", maybe, or "cringe" - that'd be more his style.

    You need to watch a few more episodes, Don, if you want to emulate the great Monk.

    PS at RC: Much as I love the selection of Graemlins that rennteam provides us with, I do think that since Admin did not allow us to continue using the Santa Claus emoticons all year round, then it should at least have provided us with Easter Bunny Graemlins by now.

    Next Tuesday will be too late.

    PPS: Happy Easter, everyone.


    Re: and the winning photo is....

    fritz, I've seen e-v-e-r-y episode of Monk my friend.
    By "shrug", I mean the way he raises a shoulder.
    Perhaps I used the wrong word.
    Best Monk Episode - the one his brother Ambrose first appeard in!

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Here's mine...

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    One of my favorite pictures, I may have more when I find the better ones.

    He has a brother named Ambrose?

    Boy, I'm just a Monk beginner.

    Great, that means there must a lot more episodes out there I haven't seen yet!

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    I found these two Speed Yellow pics on a Japanese blog - beautiful shots...I think so anyways!


    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Very beautiful indeed! Great find!

    Isn't that Signal Yellow rather than Speed?

    It does look a little more 'Signally' but I can't tell!

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    Eventually got around to a picture of mine...
    (had to wait for some blue sky!)

    Re: and the winning photo is....

    mine...
