Hi Folks yesterday I was fortunate enough to be part of the JDM Allstars media team capturing the action in practice and qualifying sessions for todays competition. I should have been back there again today for the competition but unfortunately I got sunburnt and sunstroke and feel pretty rubbish today LOL. Anyone who is at the event today is in for a real treat. I'm slowly working my way through the photos and I'll add them to the flickr group. Flickr Set Some very very good driving yesterday - I have some predictions about who'll be on the podium today - but lets see how things pan out
Right - I've just started uploading 100+ more into my flickr account. Its gonna take a while so keep checking my photoset for the event here. A few more so that have uploaded to save you peeping
great pics! i took about 400 over the weekend. unfortunately i was the wrong side of the fencing and didnt get any as clear as those
Thanks for your kind words people I'm using a Canon EOS 7D body - my first outing since switching up from my 450D and I have to say its spot on. Action shots were done on a Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 IS USM - sometimes with a canon EF 1.4x extender for a bit of extra reach. Statics where mainly done on a Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS USM.
Damn you and your pronographic-spec lenses Ian! Was good to catch up at the weekend, shame you couldn't make the Sunday though. Nice shots, love the capture of the smoke pouring from Phil's dish
You too Laura. Really looking forward to seeing yours, ross's and the rest of the media crews shots/video - especially the wide angle stuff - that is going to be sooo different. Wish I'd have been about for the bikes jumping and stuff but my head was too fried to make it back on the Sunday. If Alastair and Nial will have me back I'll probably catch you at the next event. Maybe next time I'll take you up on your kind offer of trying the 100-400mm f5.6 - with an EF 1.4 extender on the end that would be like just under 900mm on my cropped sensor body :O - I bet I couldn't hold it steady enough to get a shot LOL. Wow - thats the first sympathy I've got - everyone else just thought it was funny I was all burnt and red LOL.
jesus man those pics are awesome!!! can i be cheeky and ask you to email me the ones of mine?? anthony @ cityglassmcr .co.uk *without spaces*
No need for emails and ting dude - Just find your shots in the flickr set - pic a photo - select the all sizes link and you'll find the max resolution ones are there too - hit download - job done - mostly about 4800(ish) pixels wide unless they needed a serious crop Just credit me if you use them for anything dude.
nice pics fella,did you miss me ? i think you shot every car but mine lol,then again i did have my engine in bits for lots of satrday
there awesome pic's ian! loving that one of luke in the first post. look forward to seeing more from you dude
Lol yeah the poor lens was lying on the floor, useless all day! Awe! Just typical I had techincal problems after looking forward to this so much. I got sunburned too - on my arm! That'll teach me for trying to keep the sun out of my eyes!
