Zennon - nice concept i like it.. esp that first one.. But i wish the shutter speed was a tad slower.

yeah that would have been cool - but yeah - was hand held at 200mm while leaning over a fence while standing on another fence - so yeah - wasn't gonna happen

Did like nothing on the weekend and took almost no photo's, but did get a snap of this guy. Image has been flipped vertically as he was sitting on the roof.

I like it as it almost looks like he has this expression of the surprised face of msn messenger (similar to this one )

edit: side view:

Nice one. Not using a tripod?

Should have put the front wheels on a slight angle to show em off

yes i was using a tripod for this. does it not look like it?

I find my wide angle lens is crap in low light so needs a longer exposure as well as a flash to bring the detail up, or else it can come out soft.

thanks for the tip on the wheels , I thought exactly the same thing when I viewed it on my comp lol. TBH I was just out trying new settings / methods and angles, didn't expect to be able to use any of the pics as the car was filthy, but to my suprise it didn't show up

Zennon some great shots there mate.

ugh I should have known you were using a tripod lol.. forgot about the whole chopped bonnet/engine hahah. There is a bit of blur in the pictures which is what made me think about it.. using a shutter release cable or just pressing the button to snap the photo? If your just pressing the button thats probably what it was from.

Yeah I always forget to check some of the basic things like which way the wheels are facing, what shaddows are on the car, whats poking up behind the car etc etc untill I get home and notice on the pc.. I find myself scanning all over the viewfinder when taking a photo more and more now though, it starts to become second nature.

Just keep trying and practicing thats what its all about

Cali if you want super sharp and you dont have a cable release/remote try using timer

Here are a few pix from the recent test n tune day at wanneroo

Hey Frankies back. The fifth photo is Frankie in his Supra. See www.speedeventseries.com (on the front page under video clips - Franks spin at Barbagallo) for the last time he was there.

This is some random stooge from Busso......

[Mr Cali]

Yeh I did use the timer to take those shots, but I now have a remote.

Any suggestions how I can make the whole car in focus not just the front?

smaller aperture = bigger DOF (depth of field)

remember - since aperture is a fraction use a bigger number to get a smaller aperture

eg: 1/2.8 > 1/11

Yeah mine have about half a lap in them more than yours. So no rain dances between now & May, ok?

OK was on the way to gym today and i noticed i accidentally left the camera in the car. So out it came.. pulled over randomly at places on the way.

No tripod so yes i know some images arent level etc..

When i get more time i will do it properly.. but anyways some fun images
