i'll be taking a dih to le mans this year to use in anger for the first time...but i will also be taking a film body because theres just certain times of day that it would be almost sacrelige not to shoot off a few rolls of velvia!

Yes, if you link to a page on your own site you can have your pics as large as they are there (obviously!), but if you upload the pic to 10/10ths itself, the size limit comes into play.

Nice stuff Hugewally...what did you shoot the night time one at?...and where is Largo in FL???!!!!

I took the night one of the Audi just before turn in at Sebring's hairpin. Canon EOS-1D, Canon 28-70mm f/2.8, ISO500, 1/20 s, f/5.6, no flash, manual settings, zoom at 58mm. Seeing how I was using the 28-70, that means no IS, so this is hand-held, panning at 1/20.

Largo (not Key Largo) is in the Tampa Bay area of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico side...

About 160th pan down at Abbys.

F3 at speeeeed!

Duffacus · 3 Apr 2004, 21:35 (Ref:928776)

Theres a Porsche in there somewhere!

Duffacus · 3 Apr 2004, 21:36 (Ref:928779)

Another Porsche going pretty fast...

Duffacus · 3 Apr 2004, 21:38 (Ref:928780)

But largely one of my best photos from the F3/GT meeting at Donington is this Damax Ferrari going through Red Gate.

Hepatic · 4 Apr 2004, 14:49 (Ref:929778)

this one is from the LG SRW at Donington last year. I took it from the pitlane side of the Melbourne Loop with my (then) new fugi digital camera. i got some cracking shots that weekend...

Duffacus · 4 Apr 2004, 15:25 (Ref:929804)

Another good one I got at the F3/GT meeting was this TVR...

**Aysedasi** · 4 Apr 2004, 17:57 (Ref:929967)

Nice TVR. Like that. (I'd have binned the Porsche shot though.....

)

Hepatic · 4 Apr 2004, 19:55 (Ref:930103)

this one is also from the SRW, shame about Donington's fencing tho...

Hepatic · 4 Apr 2004, 19:56 (Ref:930108)

...and here is a cracker from the Gold Cup at OP. Took ages to get a good closeup of this guy.

redshoes · 4 Apr 2004, 19:59 (Ref:930111)

Duffacus, sorry to be so harsh, do you not understand the point of this thread. Post your ONE best photo, not several blurred out of focus shots.

Granted the last TVR one is pretty good but are you being serious about the others?

Duffacus · 4 Apr 2004, 20:44 (Ref:930157)

Ok maybe I am having a little joke about the extremely blurred Porsche but I think the other two blurrish shots give good effects of the cars (even though I took the shot of the red Porsche by accident) I am being deadly serious about the Damax Ferrari - its one of my best at Red Gate.

Also a lot more people before me have posted more then ONE photo. For example take a look at the first page of this thread, and while your there read the post that started this thread, you will see it says “Your best picture/funny picture/bizarre picture etc.”

Yes bizarre – I think my very blurred Porsche counts for bizarre, don’t you?

And like yourself, I too am sorry for being harsh but I think it’s fair I get to explain myself.

redshoes · 4 Apr 2004, 21:04 (Ref:930194)

I don't think the red Porsche does give a good effect, it looks like an accident. If you that to a normal film developer it would come back with a little oval sticker on it.

Duffacus · 5 Apr 2004, 21:16 (Ref:931559)

Fair enough, I accept your opinion.

jase · 5 Apr 2004, 22:13 (Ref:931621)

From last years November Britcar night race:

Ooh, I like that one - it'd make a great ad for the tyre company. Very evocative.

It's a really fine line between creating the impression of speed or just losinbg your focus totally
I've been trying 180 & 125 shutter speed recently and I've had varying results

(the high res originals are sharper)
I'm thinking of shooting fully automatic next time out just to see how the 10D handles it

stefan · 7 Apr 2004, 08:55 (Ref:933149)

Great shots Paul - what lens were you using?

PaulSands · 7 Apr 2004, 10:48 (Ref:933249)

For the TVr's I was using a Canon EF75-300mm
For the Damax Ferrari I think I was using EF300mm f4.0 L IS but with the IS turned off (I'm not impressed yet but it could be cos I'm pants

)
