FST513

I shall be there photographing til my hearts content with the screaming noises of RB's embedded into my eardrums

Don't get a cheap one. The expensive ones are expensive for a reason. Better support, less vibration, stronger and more expandable e.g. the legs can go everywhere and so can the neck of the tripod. For a beginners tripod, a SLIK or manfrotto tripod would do a good job for relatively cheap (between $100-$200 with the normal panhead). I suggest buying a ballhead like a Manfrotto 488RC2 for ease of manouevrability when panning etc it is less restrictive than a panhead. Unless you plan on supporting 400 2.8's and big super tele lenses, there is no need for you to invest in expensive tripods like Gitzo's unless you become professional, need them essentially for landscape photos or super strong support for heavy stuff or unless you have the money to blow on them Hope i helped.

Here are some of my favourites from both days. Still got heaps to upload, so please check my website for further updates (blog post and a link in the gallery will be up in around about an hour). Thanks, Kory

Yeah, its the straight coming down from the fish hook (if thats what you call the top part?). Glad photos are helping you out! Hehehe. It always makes me chuckle when i see you entering through the roof Love the car.

I know you guys like your photos so i thought i would link some in here for you to reminisce! The sound of your LS1 motor bezerker is insane! Crazy loud. Do you wear ear plugs when you drive?! And Liz, great driving! Shame about the 33 blowing 3rd gear 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 More photos available to view at CLICK HERE!

Wow that sucks to hear mate. The car sounded like it was running sweet in the first few sessions. Car looks awesome and i hear its participating in superlap? I hope you go well and i will see you at Superlap if so! Here's just one of many photos i took of your car on the day, i hope you enjoy it. Thanks, Kory

Some awesome photos in here! Some photos from this weeks Project 365. Trying out themes for May!

What happened to your car that day? Saw you hammering around the track probably once, and then it looked like you were taking it easy? Did something break? Can post up pics of your car if you want too.

I'd say its a texture overlay.

Exciting day for me when i got home from work!

Hey Godspeed, Send your photos to [email protected] . Josh will just forward your email to Jerry anyway. He's pretty busy, but he should reply within a day or two Good luck champ!

Thanks for all the thanks Simon and Rallye and everyone else! Your photos turned out schweet also Rallye and i'm sure Simons will also once he posts them up Is this photoshoot getting dedicated/featured towards the deceased? I hope it gets a mention, just goes to show that even the worst of things can happen to sensible people and its not a "hoon".

Latest updates to project 365 have FINALLY been uploaded to my site! Would post them here, but would probably spam so quicker to just link it. If you want, subscribe to my blog for weekly updates too it, don't blame you if you dont want to though haha. Project 365

RIP Few more photos on my blog. Can't post up other photos because they are too similar to what is getting published in Hot4s. Hope you enjoy! Kory Leung Photography

Simon, he's from Hot4s lol

Unfortunately i can't post photo's yet (haven't processed more) than the ones i submitted to Hot4s. Should have some more up by tonight EDIT: I have one

T'was good to meet some of you guys, unfortunately the police were awaiting us by the time we got to homebush from SAU to meet up with the NS guys, so we ended up just doing a little mini shoot with FST32R which was the only car left as i think Brian didn't want to get into trouble as he is prepping his car for superlap. Had heaps of fun, processing photos at the moment and will post them up when i'm done with them (or what i am allowed to anyway). Thanks to the organisers, was super fun, looking forward to the next one!

Hehehe, as i said, i'm at work! The copy i have of it at home has no dust spots I didnt even remember they were there to be honest... I forgot! P.S. Is that better

IQ has degraded, seeing as i'm at work uploading this, only have PS7 and an uncalibrated monitor, so unsure how it has turned out, but it looks awesome at home with much better colours! Dee Why Beach Sunset

Canon 50D/7D Canon DPP - Great for High ISO files for the 7D Canon Zoombrowser Canon EOS Utility - Great for testing with remote live view off the computer as well as other features Adobe Bridge - Great for maintaining/viewing RAW files Adobe Lightroom - Great for maintaning/viewing RAW files as well as editing and organizing photos Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended - Pretty much my go to program for any kind of editing Adobe Dreamweaver - Editing website details, otherwise Wordpress is used Adobe Flash - Again, website and to make .SWF files for viewing Adobe Illustrator - Used to design stuff that i want when i'm bored e.g. Vector images etc.. Photomatix Pro - HDR software Noise Ninja - PS plug-in. Great software for noise reduction Topaz Suite - Great Plug ins Nik Software (all of it) great plugins for simple effects Kubota Software - If i want to fake bokeh then i can Totally Rad Actions (TRA) - All of them, great plugin, highly recommend this! Loads and loads of textures - Great for masking and different effects with photos Thats about it.

I'm still in for this. Providing how many members there will be and how trust worthy they are, i will let people use my strobes (depending on battery life in the portable battery) so they can get some use first hand on strobes/advice on how to use them. Don't blame me if you go out and spend money to buy some Also, any idea on what photogs triggers are would be great, because we don't want to be firing off the same channel I'd like to know how many photog's are heading there also, any idea? Also, rough idea of cars at the moment is about 25-30'ish, so it should be a good turnout and plenty of photos to process

Mate your pics are coming along very well And so is your photo-journalistic approach. Congratulations on the articles and keep up the good work

I'm interested (as a photographer) but will let you know closer to the date, as its my birthday on the 11th and will have to see what's planned. Should be able to make it though
