  • More from my studio shoot of the #C8 #Corvette for @topgear. Assisted by @casual__male and @justincesler. I wasn’t so sure about the design of the car back when I first saw it, but it has seriously grown on me since. Really excited to see how this car performs and where #Chevrolet will take it in the future. Which angle do you like best on the #C8? Also a quick shoutout to @hasselblad for the test drive of their #hd6-100c medium format camera. I used it along with the HC 35-90 lens throughout this set. What a killer combo. I wasn’t prepared for how nice it was to play in post with colors and dynamic range that these two can capture. This rig is about 800% more expensive than my Nikon setup. So was the difference night and day? Not entirely... more like day versus the prettiest part of the day. I was happy with how close a Nikon D850 and a sharp copy of a 24-70 can come to these files, but the Hasselblad files are just that little bit bigger, sharper, and deeper. This was a really special camera to use in the studio. Thanks to the nice folks Hasselblad in NYC for hooking this up literally at the last moment!

  • This was a good day. A perfectly restored Lotus Eleven, sunshine at Barber Motorsports Park, and the legendary Peter Egan writing the story for Road & Track. I grew up reading Peter Egan’s stories in the pages of R&T. Never imagined I’d work with him someday. In person he looks like if Harrison Ford and Sam Posey had a baby. We ate barbecue and he told stories and he even said “Barb” a few times. Check out the story in the current issue of @roadandtrack #lotus #lotuseleven #peteregan
