LordCthulu · 06-07-2009, 04:46 PM

qball · 06-07-2009, 06:51 PM

Two Brits...

Corvus · 06-07-2009, 11:46 PM

Great idea! Take pictures of them when you can't drive them. I assume done with the Leica?

mopho · 06-07-2009, 11:53 PM

But...but.... they were drivable when I took the shots

Yes, Leica, handheld @ 1/15th and 1/8th of a second

something broke in the clutch assembly and sent a nice chunk of metal bashing around the bell housing, not good. Engine and transmission need to come out now

Corvus · 06-08-2009, 05:45 PM

No access to a Leica but...
Hand held, 1/25 sec., f 5.6, 23mm, ISO 1600.

mopho · 06-08-2009, 11:17 PM

ISO 1600?! Wuss!

Corvus · 06-09-2009, 12:34 AM

Jealous?

I guess your precious Leica can only do ISO 400.

Let's try ISO 3200.

Hand held at 10 p.m. 1/25 sec., f 1.2, 85mm.

Great shot!

mopho · 06-09-2009, 01:02 AM

Two from this evening (car is in a friends garage now). Almost everything is removed from the engine and we will hopefully be pulling it out on Friday

Second one is 1/15th F2.1 @ ISO 100

Atom, Elise and 430?

Murix · 06-09-2009, 09:41 AM

Close. 360.

Great pics guys. Morgan, if you need a hand, I would gladly come help. That looks easier to work on then even my Elise with the clam off.
