Title: LM 24 pîctures
Post by: Kristof on June 12, 2014, 08:59:23 am
LM 2014, beer side of the fence ...
Building up the new kit, and working with a borrowed camera and not the "big" lens I was used to. Although it's kind of painful seeing how much I've got ot throw away 'cause the quality of the pictures isn't what I was used to, it still got me some pretty good shots. First hour of practice I couldn't get anything right, later on I think I kind of found a part of my "mojo" back.

There's no doubt you have the mojo back Kristof, these are pretty damned great
I hope you can get the kit you need to feel better about the pictures, these however prove you will do it
I'll be enjoying these and the new ones all weekend
Next best thing for me

Start : no pictures (grandstand/fence), finish : no pictures (too lazy), sunset : no pictures (beer). Loved it, watching the race through my own eyes instead of a camera ;D

Probably my best one. Arnage 4:30am Sunday morning. PAS and HFTB mode on camera. I really need to learn a bit more on how to use it. I also didn't realise how much the catch fencing interferes with your view until your looking for a good picture spot although when you look at the state of the fencing after Duval's shunt it is a good thing.

Kristof,
Your 'bad' photos are better than anything I could ever hope to achieve with a camera so don't beat yourself up too much.
Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories of a great week. :)

So I thought I'd be a smart arse and take all my pictures manually this year and they are in the "RAW" format.
Now I'm finding it difficult to save them / open them and upload them to anything ffs :(

Thanks guys, more pictures to come but working on the Ypres rally right now.
@ Bob & Robbo, I'll put the pic of the flags online somewhere in high res, will post the link here.
Welcome to my world, manual and raw ;D. You'll need to convert the raw files into jpeg, either through lightroom/aperture or photoshop.
