Cat 24H Shake Down Tests

This rebuild 24H starts its first "Shake Down" tests before it heads for paint in our paint shop.
All tests went well and now it will go for paint, being this close to the blade with the fisheye was a nail biter.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G AF ED DX Fisheye

other sizes: small medium original auto

Living dangerously with the Fisheye I see. Remember that objects are actually closer than they appear. Cool shot!

You are definitely pushing the limits here my friend. It's a great image but you should go back to "just falling through steps" in old abandoned houses :-)

Super shot Mike; and knowing the driver might of helped with your safety.

Get closer, I can't see the other side of the blade! :-)

Watch your self, don't want to have to come up there to pick up the pieces.

I'm starting to think that you're a fisheye adrenaline junky (how close can I get). This behaviour results in some great captures though - well done.
