One for a winter month perhaps?

It is someone elses photo (obviously!), but I own the rights to it. I've got in a silly resolution somewhere too. |

I have some trackday pics that I have bought, but I'm not sure whether it's OK to use these for the calendar. If you think it's OK, I'll gladly post.
The other good one I have was taken by David Yu at the Autodrome - I'm fairly sure he wouldn't mind it being used, if chosen:

There are some wonderful photos here already. I particularly like Canadians series, but Resident Spanner also has a good point on depicting the seasons. I love Rodge 1 as an Autumn picture, the colours are fantastic. _________________ A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Keats. |

Piers - what about that photo from F1 testing at Silverstone - the one with the fantastic rear tyre distortion on the F1 car (can't remember which car it was)?

My votes:
Kraftwerk II - a picture that sets off a hundred stories in my head.
Canadian 5 - Dear Christ. Beautiful colours, forms, composition. Love it love it love it.
Jasper 1 - Witty this one - the colours, the rounded hills vs the car. Made me smile.
PG - "We're all going on a. summer holiday... a summer holiday..." The colours in this remind me of my childhood (which is a good thing) (when summers were actually hot).
Alf 5 - I particularly like the marshalls waving. Without them, it's just a typical Le Mans wet endurance stock shot, with them it becomes a battle of men versus each other, and the elements.
Chris M 1 - fantastic dynamic focus on that! I was wowed when I saw it. I love the graininess: was that in an arena? |

Technically not my picture but my brother's! I'm sure he won't mind/know, though!
Can't find that one immediately, but how about this one of his? Robert Kubica in Eau Rouge:

Not one of mine, but I'm flattered to think you thought it could be.
We've got lots and lots of great pics here already.......... and that's before (he modestly says!) I put any of mine forward for consideration.
At this rate, we could publish a book, not just a calendar! |

Thanks for the complement.
Yes, it was taken in the Cardiff Millenium Stadium at the Dec 2006 WRC Wales Rally GB special stage. Last year, they had the indoor lighting turned right down so my photos all came out very dark. Not sure if I will go this December as a result.
