Welcome to Jon Chin™'s Photo Retreat!.

Photography is my passion!

My photography gear comprises of a Canon 30D (BG-E2N - Grip) with the following lenses - Canon 50mm f1.8II, 85mm f1.8, Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS and a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 - a 580ex mkii flash (Sto-Fen Omni Bounce). My interest lies in mainly portraiture however automobiles and interesting sceneries excite me as well.

Please browse the galleries and enjoy! Keep checking back, I rotate the galleries every few weeks. Have a look at photo comments other visitors have added. If you have any comments, please post them in the albums-much appreciated!

Auto Union Type C : The Auto Union race cars were designed by the famous engineer Ferdinand Porsche; they were based on an earlier design he had done using a mid-engined layout similar to the famous 1923 Benz Tropfenwagen, or "Teardrop" aerodynamic design. (That unique car was built under the direction of Max Wagner, who was now at Daimler-Benz, and was raced by his current business partner, Adolf Rosenberger.) The mid-engined cars, where the drivers sat in front of the engines, were unusual; it took over 20 years until this concept, made famous in these cars, became generally adopted in motor racing. This was mostly because the cars were said to be hard to master, which was in part due to the swing axle rear suspension design initially adopted by Porsche (relatively advanced for its day, it is now utterly obsolete because of its many problems), although other factors (such as simple unfamiliarity with the very different handling characteristics) were also involved in creating that reputation. The cars used supercharged engines that eventually produced almost 550 horsepower (which also contributed toward the handling difficulties, as it promoted oversteer which the cars already had in abundance). The engine was originally the V16 engine that Porsche had started designing earlier; when, starting in 1938, the maximum engine displacement for Grand Prix cars was limited to 3 litres for blown engines, it became a V12. It was originally designed to 6 litre specifications, but would start at 4,360 cc and 295 bhp. It had two cylinder blocks, inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, with a single overhead camshaft to operate all 32 valves. The engine was designed to provide optimum torque at low engine speeds. (Bernd Rosemeyer later drove one around the Nürburgring in a single gear, to prove the engine was flexible enough to do it!)
