I know :coat:

C&C welcome. sorry for the heavy picture count
 
:naughty: I liked the buggy shot as well but wish I had waited a fraction of a secound longer as he tilted over even more. I think i over did the tweeking abit as well. :bonk: will have to get ajprice to show me how to use photoshop.
 
Damned nice picture, thanks!

267bhp RX-8 engine in the back if anyones interested :)
Never really got to use full beans though, too damned slippy!


It pulls proper full-on wheelies gravel/mud too :love:


We might be out again later in the year, but don't hesitate to come over and ask for a passenger ride, we only took a couple of lads out today.
 
Been looking at the photos on here - all very impressive! I was one of the driftday organisers and was out in my black Westfield so any photos of that would be appreciated! :D

Will do if I remember next time I see you on track. some more pics here link


Steve PH the only pics of a black Westfield i have are here and here

And since easy007 has asked in other thread start looking here.

just uploaded about 50 pics mainly of the 180sx
 
I'll probably be at Cadwell on 27th of March in something in a similar vein, off road rally car, although prettier, lower and 4wd.

Thank you very much Ziploc, some of those are really great (y)

I heavily rely on guys like you to take pics as no-one ever comes with me :crying:

Any chance of getting the hires of this one?

to be completely honest they are nearly all soft or blurry... what camera are you using?
Click to expand...

canon 450D with a canon 75-300 F4-5.6 III USM and think its due to user error :bang: bringing the camera battery grip with me next week to see if that helps me get a better grip on the camera and hopefully better shots.

some of it is probably just down to practice, but i think some of it is down to your settings..
I'll pick a couple and give you my humble opinion:

1) 1/60th is really too slow for a hand held shot like that. Its a very dark image so it really needs a higher ISO. Or a tripod to hold the camera still.

10) should be a nice easy shot to get sharp (i'm assuming that car is stopped?). I think 1/125 for a non-panning shot is a bit risky. It would be better to use a faster shutter speed. Maybe use Av mode, open the aperture to max and you'd get the fastest shutter speed and a nice shallow depth of field.

12) is a good shot at a good shutter speed, but its a little bit blurry which i think is just down to panning practice.

20) is a great shot.. needs to be a tiny bit sharper but other than that i really love it.

overall i think it would be good to increase the saturation, contrast and sharpness on the whole set either with photoshop or in the camera settings.

hope this helps a bit :)

must be doing about 10mph then?
at that shutter speed i would expect some motion blur on the wheels

There is on the back wheel, but he'd jsut pulled the handbrake to get the car back the other way for the hairpin.

He was at the top of 2nd/into 3rd gear there, one of the fastest parts of the track, its the same place 16. was taken.
