it's a style of photo. muted, not as contrasty. I do it from time to time myself. Not on cars too much, mostly on people photos. It has kind of a "photojournalism" look to it and that's why people like it.

Thanks!

There's three "companies", if you will, that just sit on certain parts of the road and snap pics of every car that passes them, and they sell the pics on their site. Can't say I'm proud to spend $4-$6 for each pic, but it's a memory...That's my story, and I'm sticking with it!

Killboy.com - Action Photography at The Tail of the Dragon Deals Gap | The original Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap action photographer.
US 129 Photos | Highest Quality Photos on the Dragon
www.129slayer.com

Those are the three sites. You can search by day, down to the minute. The group I was in was with 3 other Lotus cars, and a friend in an STi. If you care to search, we were there on 9/19/2014, put in the times between 2:45pm-4pm and you'll see a few sets of pics of my group that did the drive down.

The most Lotus cars you'll ever see in a single pic...LOL

In front of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. I drove down there for a huge Lotus Owner's Gathering...




I believe this pic below is courtesy of VisualEchos:



My car also won "people's choice" for the favorite Exige there...

Looks like the only things missing were the 340R & Esprit S350. Quite a turn out.
