The Motorsport Duffers Thread

So there I was... bored with cars on tracks, time to slow things down.... ooooh! the sun has gone in - perfect! 1/6th pans time... hmmm not *quite* sure that works...

I think that might be Tarquini??? Who knows!

Didn't stop me from trying it loads though... bag of 5h1te... bet Gary loves it :D
 
i really like it - more atry than a photo, but still looks good for me (y)
 
Yeah art like those freaks do that pour paint over their naked bodies and then thrash around on a big canvas :D

Just for you - limited edition prints now available (of the car shot that is, I'm not getting naked and paint covered for anyone!)

:LOL:
 
Here's my effort. Don't get me wrong - I have a lot worse entries - but somehow in this photo I managed to get his face crystal clear, i managed to mess up the motorcycle itself by blurring it (don't ask me how cos I dont know), and I managed to chop his head off :(

It's prob because the bike is on the way up or down in the wheelie. So you get the rider sharp but bike blurred. Usually happens other way round for me.. I get bike nice and sharp but the rider moves around and get a bit blurred - how dare they :LOL:

Oh yes indeed it was but I did keep going and got one or two (click thing) but it was really hard being so close with a 70-200 because I could only get the full car edge to edge at 70mm! Should have just gone 24-70 but pride an all that :wacky:
 
Hmm well I was using 70-200 too. If you stood across from the stand then 70mm was ok. I got quite a few good shots there. Rather than shooting when the cars were right in front of me I tended to shoot at an angle... I guess that gave me some extra width. Changing lenses there would have been a bad idea with the huge amount of dust being thrown up by the tractors and Paris dakkar cars! Just keep telling yourself that is why you didnt change lenses lol :)
 
Haha I could literally have my own thread on here. Hundreds and hundreds of duffers.
 
Oh steve :( thats a monumental duffer :clap:
 
I'm trying to work out which one of those blokes standing over the hill is Josh Brookes and why no earth there's an out of focus motorcycle in the air.

:thinking:

:bonk:
 
Gribbsy,

I'll see your one OOF bike over the mountain and raise you two :D

desantnik - that was impressive!!! Whos got 3???
 
There's 3 in that one, well 2 and a bit......

That is quality. IMO the only thing ruining it is the speaker coming out of the chaps head between the trees. Other than that, it's stunning :p

Now if only I had spent a bit more time processing then that shot would have been perfect.

Having joined up to seek advice on my new camera I was thouroughly depressed looking at the quality pics on this site. Then I found this thread, somewhere I can call my spiritual TP home :)

First day out with new camera, crap weather, fogged up lens, wrong settings and clueless operator=

This one is part of a series when bike and rider parted, I have the bike on its own, the rider on his own but I like the solo appearance of fuel tank contents the best-
