OWphotos Entrance:

Hello and welcome:

Hello and welcome to Oh Well Photos. (Or 'OW' for short). This is a new blog that holds my view of the drifting community and motorsport that I follow. This blog is made for the people that are major participants of the drifting lunacy already. It is also made for those that are interested and attracted by the smoke, speed, angle and indulgent colours of the drifting motorsport.

My name is John (also known as Random) and I am a keen enthusiast of automotive photography. I have an amateur knowledge of Digital Photography but a strong passion for the insane motorsport that is drifting. I have taken many pictures good and bad, albeit some dreadful ones too. I have received a lot of feedback from the crowds who help me as I am still improving my skills after each event.

I have placed my feet firmly on the tarmac for 2 years now. I feel that I am more than capable to represent myself and be a worthwhile part of the Drift community and culture. So I am to conclude this post with a very warm welcome, and I also thank you very much for reading and browsing through the OW blog. Here is to many more posts. Cheers.

No soap Silvia.

Good morning and hello to 'OWphotos' first *Car feature of 2012.


 Here is 'Slippy' Rik Darby's Silvia S14. After packing up the camera gear, picking up JC and heading off to the world reknown Krispy Kreams. We're parked up and waiting to meet up with Mr Darby, who turns up only a few minutes after ourselves, so we head on from here and into the industrial side of Greater Manchester.




  This car started out in Rik's hands as an import from Powervehicles over in Japan, with a fair amount of the spec list already fitted. The bodykit, wheels, the stripped interior and also a good polish were received in Japan. Rik has added his own touch with help of some very lairy paint in some chosen places. as he has sprayed up the rear of the bare metal interior and engine rocker cover in an illuminous pink, whilst his sump and upper strut brace are covered in an exuberrent and viscious yellow hue.





  After taking quite a few photos around 4 different locations luckily researched the night before we thought we'd head on into the city centre and get some driving/action shots. Well we made a clerical error as the chinese new year was being celebrated as a road festival. and we were diverted all around the centre of the city until we got within sniffing distance of the kung pow chicken noodles that i love.


  We managed to sneakily manouver the car a few feet from the massive crowd and security to get these pictures and with all the looks the childrens rides were getting, Rik kept grinning away as the revs crept up gently giving a small but humble growl. Some pedestrians turned to see this jap car sat there (kinda behaving) just inches away from multiple kids.



  So after some eventual weird looks from security we decided to end the day and headed on home. Big thanks go to Rik, JC the chinese new year street party, trafford park and Krispy Kreams.
Much love & peace.
Randum.

P.S. *No soap was used in this feature.
