Are You Michael's Shoe Marker?

Looking For A Rear Fission Mirror

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Okay, so I'm curious. Everyone photographs Formula One cars from the front and side. But admit it - when was the last time you saw an F1 car photographed from behind? These shots were taken during the Australian Grand Prix a couple of years ago, but I've never published them before. Certainly provides a fresh perspective, doesn't it? While on the subject of unusual views, I'd love to photograph the QE2 or the new Queen Mary in dry dock - from right underneath the hull. Now that's a dream shot!

I can tell you having been on the old Queen Elizabeth ( The Original ) would be difficult but an awesomn photo including from dry dock up to deck and including the props would be great shot

PS many years ago when I was on it and we were caught in hurricane a lot of us dummys ( read to young to know better ) hung over the stern and we could see all 4 props out of the water at the same time

what a photo that would have made

Hi The People History,

Sounds like you had the greatest of cruising experiences. I guess you should blogpost that story on your site.

In particular, I look forward to the story of how you hung over the stern - in a hurricane!

I look forward to it. Stay in touch and buzz me here at any time if there's anything I can do to help.

Cheers

David

Hey--I've moved from "honourable mention"!! I accept this with humbleness and as Nelly Furtado said upon winning her first Grammy, "YEEEAAAAAHHHHH--OOOOHHH"!

Dear Samadhi,

Nice acceptance speech - that'll make the news highlights tonight.

Got your email and will send you a detailed reply within the next 24 hours.

Take care and happy blogging.

David
