Well, I haven't been on the list long enough to know too very much about
many people's preferrences but I'll start it off, but won't name numbers.

Jim Caldwell jut blew his cover with his last post.
Stephen Scharf likely blew my cover with a comment on my entry.
Nobody but C.H. likely used an Oly Six III A.
Stephen Scharf is a CA race photographer with a new 2s who would be
found out on Hwy. 1.
Richard Mann was just in Yosemite (where I'll be Sun-Wed).
I'd guess Brain was the Kiwi of  'Toes of the hill take a briny dip'?
Winsor just took a cruise around the bottom of So. America, so I'd guess
'El Glaciar' is his.
Somehow 'Antelope Valley' makes me think of Scott Gomez?

Moose,

With all due respect, you blew your own cover when
1) you posted the picture
2) mentioned the location where your picture was taken from! <grin>
But you missed the guess on my entry....it was taken neither with the OM-2S (I didn't have one at the time) nor on Hwy 1....(though I wouldn't rule the Coast Hwy out as a locale for future TOPES!)

The beautiful blue landscape taken in Britain might be relatively easy as Snaefell is on the Isle of Man, not the north of England (any motorcyclist would know that from the TT).

Some of the other photos are obvious from their exemplary technique! Wish mine was that good! <grin> (Well, the good thing about the TOPE and all the wonderful photographers on this list is to challenge you to do your best work, and to improve. Goodness knows we have some terrific photographers to serve as mentors!)

I'm sure if there was a TOPE on "Speed" it would be pretty obvious whose would be whose. And, though Mike V. and I are both race photographers, and while we have different levels of access (and the concomitant difference in approach that that mandates), our technique is different enough that it should be easy to distinguish us.
