World of SpeedIn seiner Werkgruppe World of Speed zeigt Johannes Huwe mit seinen Bildern in fast phantastischer Weise die eigene Welt der Geschwindigkeitsfanatiker auf dem Groen Salzsee in Kalifornien. Der Salzsee El Mirage ist 16 Meilen nrdlich vom Highway 18, dort wo alle Straen enden. Ein verlassener und unwirklicher Ort in der Mojave Wste mit Tagestemperaturen um die 45 Grad und durchschnittlich 150 mm Niederschlag pro Jahr. Es wimmelt von Klapperschlangen,

In seiner Werkgruppe World of Speed zeigt Johannes Huwe mit seinen Bildern in fast phantastischer Weise die eigene Welt der Geschwindigkeitsfanatiker auf dem „Großen Salzsee“ in Kalifornien. Der Salzsee El Mirage ist 16 Meilen nördlich vom Highway 18, dort wo alle Straßen enden. Ein verlassener und unwirklicher Ort in der Mojave Wüste mit Tagestemperaturen um die 45 Grad und durchschnittlich 150 mm Niederschlag pro Jahr.

Es wimmelt von Klapperschlangen, Filme wie Terminator 2 oder Lethal Weapon wurden hier gedreht. Stars wie Madonna oder U2 haben diese skurrile Gegend für ihre Musikvideos als Kulisse genutzt. „Land Speed Racer“ werden sie genannt, die meist tollkühnen Männern in ihren selbstgebauten Rennwagen. Sie haben nur die Stop-Uhr und die Ziellinie vor Augen, mit dem immer gleichen Ziel, im nächsten Rennen einen neuen Geschwindigkeitsrekord aufzustellen.

„Land Speed Racer“ ist die letzte Motor Sport Bastion, die noch in der Hand von Amateuren ist. Die Teilnehmer der Rennen sind bunt gemischt – von einfachen Automechanikern bis hin zu Millionären – die mit einem ganzen Team und Truck in der Wüste anreisen. Legenden wie Gene Winfield, der diverse Fahrzeuge für Hollywood Filme wie Star Trek, Blade Runner oder Batman gebaut hat, nehmen an den Rennen teil.

Neben dem Erreichen einer neuen Bestzeit ist ein weiteres Ziel die Mitgliedschaft im 200 Mile Club oder sogar 300 Mile Club. Deren stolze Mitglieder sind oft von weitem durch Aufschrift „200 Mile Club Member“ auf den T-Shirts zu erkennen. Die T-Shirts gibt es jedoch nur für qualifizierte „Land Speed Racer“ – gegen Vorlage des Clubausweises. Das Fotografien der Veranstaltung stellt eine besondere Herausforderung an den Fotografen und die Technik dar. Die Hitze und Staub machen der Ausrüstung stark zu schaffen. Noch schwieriger ist es, die Fahrer mit ihren Fahrzeugen nach dem Rennen zu portraitieren. Gebremst wird aufgrund des sandigen Untergrundes mit Bremsfallschirm. An welcher Stelle genau der Rennwagen in der Wüste dann zum Stehen kommt, bedarf Einiges an Erfahrungswerten.

Dem Fotograf bleibt dann nur wenig Zeit mit seinem untermotorisierten Mietwagen die Piloten und ihre Fahrzeuge zu erreichen. Dort angekommen, hat man nur ein sehr kleines Zeitfenster zum Portraitieren, da innerhalb weniger Momente ein Securityfahrzeug damit beginnt, die Unversehrtheit des Fahrers und Fahrzeuges zu überprüfen. Die Bilder der Serie „World of Speed“ wurden mit einer Mittelformat Hasselblad Kamera aufgenommen.

Super comfortable - much better than memory foam wrist rests!
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large, Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large
Get this wrist rest - you won't be disappointed. Had ergonomic keyboards and have tried memory foam rest in the past and this is much better. Smooth wood, perfect height and very supportive to keep wrists in neutral position when typing. Got the 17.3" and like that there's ample room to not feel squashed, but probably could have done with the medium length. Great angle for my mechanical keyboard. Love it!

What an excellent wrist rest! Except for this one thing....
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large
This is a solid piece of wood with great quality. Fantastic large rubber grips on the bottom (left and right sides only). Pro: I use it for editing and gaming. And though I thought the wood might be a bad choice in the long run, it turns out it's pretty nice. Not as comfortable as a gel rest but I knew what I was getting when I ordered it. I buy things for function AND aesthetics. I love how this looks. The uniqueness is really something. I got the natural one instead of the black so that the grains and lines can be easily seen. Con: Unfortunately, after almost 2 months, the wood has warped some. Not enough to effect my typing but, enough that I notice it. The warp is the kind where the opposite angled corners go up and down. While the other 2 corners are fine. In my case, the top left and bottom right, when pressed independently, rock the wrist rest. The top right and bottom left stay grounded. This is why I took a star off. Because there's no way this should be happening. So, looks and quality are up there. The rubber grips are solid. Why it's warping is puzzling to me. NO liquid wasted on it. Or, extreme temperature changes have happened. I've made sure the rubber grips. And that the surface the rest sits on (a glass mouse scrolling top by Superglide) is clean. Yet, I get this slight rocking. It bugs me this all happened right after the return window closed. I would've simply exchanged it. I love it too much. I mean, this is, again, a SOLID piece of wood. Maybe this won't happen for everyone. I mean, it's wood. Eh I would still recommended this regardless.

Fantastic Product
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Small
This is very nice! I type all day for my job and this made a big difference. It's very comfortable and supportive. Im allergic to latex rubber, which is in most gel options. It's really nice to have a safe, effective alternative

Beautiful, Solid Real Wood Wrist Rest
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large
This wooden wrist rest feels premium and the finish is super smooth — it’s noticeably nicer than foam or gel pads. Real wood looks great on my desk and still feels comfortable during long typing sessions. Definitely worth it if you want something stylish and functional.

True-to-photos color, solid build, and great for organizing
Color: 2Pcs Green
Durability: This tray feels well-made and sturdy. I replaced a fragile tray that shattered when it fell, and this one feels like it would hold up far better to normal day-to-day handling. I am not going to stress-test it, but it feels substantial and nicely finished. Use and ease of use: It does exactly what a tray should do. It is easy to carry, stable when set down, and the woven leather surface feels secure and helps keep items from sliding around. Color: The green woven leather matches the website photos. No surprises, no weird undertones. It looks clean and high quality in person. Organization: This is where it really shines for me. It is a great fit for corralling items on a table, counter, or dresser and instantly makes things look more intentional. It is not stackable, but it is not advertised as stackable either, so that is fine. Size and accuracy: The dimensions match the schematics online, which I appreciated. It fits the space I bought it for exactly as expected. Overall, it looks high-end, feels durable, and is a simple upgrade if you want a tray that helps keep a space organized without feeling flimsy.
