It's better to burn out than to fade away · 07:41 PM

I don't think this is a particularly great photo, and I faked the fading paint a bit, but it is approximately a 100% crop, so I thought it shows how good the K200D and 70mm Limited can be.

Correction: Shutter speed was 1/350.

That's definitely some nice detail!

keen eye to grab this shot.... easy to snap away at pristine prancing horses.... it is expensive to rehab one of enzo's cars... would like to know the history of this one... nicely done, dave m

A little background on the car itself (I talked to the guy who owned the garage when I asked if I could shoot some photos):

It's a Mondial Quattrovalvole that the owner brought in to have overhauled. The owner had an overhaul done about 5 years ago, but didn't pay the bill and had to go to court to get the car back from the repair shop. Since it sat for so long, it doesn't run and he has to get it fixed again. It's been sitting in the same spot for at least a year. Never moves.
