Description
Porsche 911 GT3, Silver.
On the face of it this is a fairly standard rear cornering shot. What makes it stand out for me is the sense of action, the way you can see the blocks of tread, and it's obvious the car is going fast. Then there's the colour of the sky – fantastically dark – and the sunlight picking out the GT3 badge. It's all those things together.
But the underlying thing is that it's an ordinary shot made extraordinary by the light. I probably took it lying on the tarmac, and to me this is exactly how a 911 should be viewed. It's the optimum angle.
