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.

If they can't fix it they will replace it.
This protection plan that i pay monthly for paid for itself ten fold. My 3D printer just quit working and after the manufacturer warrenty had ran out at that. I submitted my claim they emailed me a shipping label in which I shipped out my printer that same day. Two days later they received my printer determined it couldc not be fixed and sent me a Amazon gift card for the full price of my printer. Today I will be receiving my new 3d printer thanks to Complete Protect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to purchase this policy. This warrenty is like having a home warrenty like Homeshield but for your electronics and probably other stuff that i just have not read to see what else. This insurance will save me so much money over the corse of this year and every year after that. Thank you Complete Protect.

"Outstanding support and a seamless process!"
Great experience with Asurion insurance through Amazon. I wasn't sure how to register my items for the monthly plan, but the customer support team in the chat was incredibly efficient and guided me through the entire paperwork process smoothly. Furthermore, the service I received at the repair shop (Break Fix) was excellent. The whole process was seamless, and I received my digital gift card without any issues, which I’ve already applied to my Amazon account. I am very grateful for their professionalism and how easy they made everything. Highly recommended!"

Received giftcard money to replace my plan-protected malfunctioning motherboard
I've been subscribing to the Asurion protection plan for a while. Recently, an Asus Prime PC motherboard I had bought a few months ago on Amazon stopped working well. I ended up considering filing a claim with Asurion to see if they would either fix/replace it or issue the purchase price money, so I could buy the failed electronics replacement component again for my custom-built PC. I went to the protection plan's website and started the claim filing process but couldn't find the category my failed component would be under in order to select it from the drop-down list. I ended up messaging the live customer service. The chat messaging was somewhat slow, the agent told me they were experiencing some communication delays throughout their systems. Ultimately, the agent was very kind and understanding, and completed the claim filing process for me on her side by asking me to provide the necessary info such as the item's product name, date of purchase, price before taxes, etc. I received a printable UPS shipping label in the email, printed it, and returned the item in the mail. Approximately 2 days later, I received an Amazon giftcard code in the email with the dollar amount equal to the item's price before the sales tax. Then I redeemed the giftcard code on the Amazon page and proceeded to apply the giftcard money to my next purchase of a replacement Asus prime motherboard, and it all worked out successfully. Therefore, I had no issues with the protection plan service and recommend it to others.

Fast and easy but I dont trust the process to be fully automated.
The process was very smooth and fairly quick. The only challenge I had was that the CLAIM status showed complete but I had to manually go look up the status. There was no email or notification it was closed. After manually checking the status, I called customer support and they said since I called in, they would process the payout. I wonder if I didnt call in if they would have processed it? Also, the phone rep said they would issue me a amazon egift card but then the next day I received a email saying they mailed out the payout. Very poor communication but so far the process was easy and fast.
