Car Photography at Abandoned Racetrack - Porsche Boxster 981
Рет қаралды 1,448
8 ай бұрынAfter a 35-year absence, I return to one of Australia's most iconic race circuits - the Calder Park ThunderDome - to photograph my white Porsche Boxster on a bright spring day. Built to host NASCAR and AUSCAR races, this unique oval circuit was designed to replicate the iconic Charlotte Motor Speedway, and held its first NASCAR event in late 1987.

Could almost hear the memories pouring out when you stopped to look around the stadium 👍

Yeah, it felt like I've lived a couple of lifetimes since I'd last set foot in there. It was eerie.

Nostalgia is a great sauce, but I can tell that you never let it override the sustaining lessons underneath and you never take life for granted or regret any memories - if that makes sense. Beautiful shots!

It’s always and interesting experience going back to places that had meaning especially from your distant past , sometimes a good idea sometimes less so like who had the audacity to build a garage in my grandmothers beautiful front garden and others like the WinterGarden in Auckland that still has its charm and is being beautifully maintained by the city. Great vehicle shots Peter but of course I wouldn’t expect anything less from you 😀

Hi Peter! I’m really inspired by your content and can relate to most the things you say in your videos. I have a white MX-5 right now as well, and I might upgrade to the Boxster or even the Lotus Emira someday. Would you ever consider the Lotus Emira for yourself? Thanks!

Great video, Peter, as always! What's happening at 6:21? Everything seems to wobble up and down.
@peterfritzphoto 8 ай бұрын
Oh, yeah... how freaky is that? The original footage was quite bumpy because I was walking briskly around the car, so I applied Premiere Pro's 'warp stabilizer' affect to smooth it out. I didn't notice what it did to the car until you pointed it out. Bugger... I'll have to walk a lot more smoothly next time and ditch the digital smoothing in post production. Thanks, mate.

Thx for sharing. Is that the base model or the S model? Either way it is eye catching. Looking to buy a 2015 S in the next few months after being a devoted M3 driver. DRS Real Estate Investments in Washington DC
@jonfrench7133 8 ай бұрын
You won’t regret the switch from the M3 for a single moment. The Cayman is a bewitching car, delicate, precise, musical, it gets into your heart like no other ❤
@peterfritzphoto 8 ай бұрын
Hey Derek. Mine is a base model, but it's blessed with the Sport Chrono package and the Sport Exhaust, so it sounds glorious! You won't regret the Boxster or Cayman. The M3 is brilliant - always has been. I won't say the Boxster or Cayman are better, but the driving experience is definitely special. Thanks for dropping in.

Peter I actually have watched your video comparing the 911 and Boxster and you mentioning it was not worth the extra $$$ for the purchase of your childhood dream car. That video got me to sway more towards my decision.
