Nice :D

I like the cropped pics where you couldnt see over the bails - that blur caused by the tops of the bails at the bottom of the picture adds a nice effect, at least it does for me

Nice to see steve hislop's boost yamaha out

My sister is down at this. She phoned me when the F1 cars were hooning past, just to rub it in a bit. :(

Love the rally pics in HDR. Thats an amazing effect with the dirt swirls. :cool:

[trickywoos]

Had a ticket for today, but health prevented me going. absolutely gutted.

U got any of the Ten Kate boys?

Great use of HDR there Sam. Do you take all your shots in RAW format and what camera are you using. I'm a bit of a photography novice and would be happy if you could include some details along if you can like ISO, speed & aperture settings. Thanks for sharing. I really love to see you artistic and beautiful images. Thanks!

[Samnooshka]

Thanks All!

Zankus, for the action shots i was using my canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM L lens, for the closeups i was using the stock lens which is the canon 18-55mm but i have an attachement which is a 0.42 wide angle lens which gives some fun results. I was using a canon 400D. Most settings were done on Aperture priority (AV) Aperture set at around 2.8 - 3 as i needed the higher shutter speed, ISO is 100, i very rarely use anything higher than 400ISO.

The processes to get them to look like the drawing ones aren't HDR's they were just played in photoshop until i got the result i wanted from using different filters :) the only HDR (and its a true one) is the GSXR at the top in my first post :)

I was at le mans this year :-D Right do!

The astons don't sound half as good as the corvettes, which sound like some cataclysmic end of the earth, but a lovely looking car and they definately deserved their win in Gt1.

All the cars did actually look like that after 24 hours too, especially with the rain we had. They look better that way, well used more than showroom shine!

Cool photo's. Went there myself a couple of years ago and got some good photo's but my wife then lent the camera to some numpty who managed to delete the whole lot ,totally gutted.

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

Stunning Pics!

[Mr Toad]

I'm afraid I rather overindulged in the corporate hospitality and didn't get round to taking any pics after about 11ish that are worth showing. I was nearly sick in the helicopter on the way home as well :oops:

Def go next year though :grin:

Thanks for all the info. If its not to be too much to ask it would be nice in future posts to put some such notes under your pics for us photo buffs. Thanks Sam. Regarding the first HDR, did you compose that out of 3 separate photos?

Lookee here for one of my efforts in HDR...

[Samnooshka]

Yes the first one is composed of 3 different shots :) an i'd be happy to put the EXIF data under the photo's i take in future :)

Thats a great image you took i love the detail picked out in the engine. good work :)

[zunkus]

Thanks Sam. Nothing near your greatness but I'm quite happy with the output too. I try not to get the photos to look too much HDR, to look almost normal photos but well exposed. Feel free to visit fotothing and comment on my other pictures Sam. I'd like your honest opinion.
