Skid Day Photos

[r33boy]

Well, we came back for another go at the skid pan after our introduction in October and I can tell you that we're definitely hooked!

Thanks again has to go to Aaron and everyone else that make the days so enjoyable. We learnt so much and had so much fun. The missus said that the 180's and 360's were the best!

I recommend that anyone who thinks they're a good driver to prove it by giving one of these days a go

Anyway, I thought I'd upload some photos I took. There's heaps more so PM me if you want any more photos of your car.

Thanks,

Brett

Daz mate.. This is the first skid pan day I've run this year!

What a quality day! Great foto's Brett. C u next time mate. I dunno about you guys, but when I got home, I was totally stuffed .

As u can see, there was a mix of cars.. a mix of ages and a mix of the sexes. I didn't drive as good as I could of, but with a wrapped ankle that was still swollen, I did ok! Sorry for being a bit short in the morning, the pain killers were just kicking in!

The old Val ute re-broke a control arm and the 180 would have been treated better if somebody had stolen it from the owner and his freind! I hate seeing that kind a abuse... but it was his choice to continue with the mindless thrashing. They where asked to be kinder to the poor little thing.

Anyhow, when I track down the paperwrok from Grant, I will post up the results in the Qld events section.

So everybody that wasn't at the skid day understands..

the 360's we are talking about was a fully controlled 'loose' and catch exercise which consisted of a very cool 360 spin in the middle of the pan while traveling at around 60km/h across the skid pan. We all still remained on the skid pan, and nobody had an off track adventure!

Can u do rapid shots with that camera Brett? that would be great if you could get a few shots in a row to show how it works. Send me a PM will you!

New Thread started in the Qld events section for points and stuff..

Can u do rapid shots with that camera Brett?

"Burst mode" is what your looking for...

Most cameras have burst, however its useless on compact DSC's as compacts are too slow...

Entry level DSLR's can do 3.5 fps+ (frames per second) and thats what you need to show movement easily, 6fps+ is essential for high speed motorsport like drag, drift and circuit racing...

Another fun shot to take at skid pan is a "pan" or "panning" shot;

(These were done with a standard non image stabilised lens, so they are not the cleanest examples)
