Sorry, I should have looked, its the inside of Arnage. I didn't know you could get there
I think you'll find it the outside of Arnage in the public bit and the cars are on the way up to the Porsche Curves. Nice photos Steve. I'll have to take a camera one year. Have you all been on the sherbert already? As previously mentioned, the photos I posted earlier here http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=5722.msg70575#msg70575 were all taken at the public banking at the outside of MULSANNE CORNER. I know because I took them  I was on about these ones http://community.webshots.com/album/551783634gQKeED(the ones that say Arnage)and I'm just about to go on the sherbet. |

Thanks to everyone for makeing me feel welcome!!!!! Cheers, Mike B.T.W......Is it a acceptable practice to use others photos to post humor in the forum? Or is it taboo? |

Mike, I upload my photos to a public space on the www. They're not watermarked, copywritten or in a 'subscription to view' area. So, basically, anyone can do what the hell they want with them! Great to see you at Le Mans, Sebring planning kicks in pretty soon  |

Thanks FS and SB for the chat and hints.
Has certainly given me something to think about on how to proceed and develop.
I'll take a trawl through 10 tenths and see what tips I can take away.

Chris there are plenty and i mean plenty of web forums out there, do a search of "photography Forum" in Google, the travel and wildlife ones are worth looking at, I guess there are about ten regular ones I look at, will PM them to you later on today, Peter
Get in contact should you wish, be pleased to help. Peter

That's why digital is so much better, you don't keep on buying the film!!
you rescue so much more in digital, I use photoshop elements 3 & 4, only because its on different computers.
Fantastic medium photography, I just love it.
Here,here FS. My little Nikon D70 takes perfectly good pics for my purposes and with a couple of 2gig cards I can just snap away and dump the grotty ones when I get home. Am also finally cracking the web publishing stuff (after several hiccups.) The conversion from film to digital hasn't been that pricey as I can still use all 3 of my lenses from the old camera, plus the dozen or so that Mr Termite has! See Werner's guide for some of the shots I took at scrutineering. OK, not David Bailey, but great memories nonetheless. |

"Not too expensive" and using 2gig cards!
I use a couple of 1gig cards (£12) which in raw format give 100 pics each. Any obvious errors can be deleted immediately, so I don't have too many to sort out when I get home. With jpeg its 250 per gig at 6mpixel. I've just sorted them all and hope to photobucket them this weekend.
As for Arnage, the photos are taken across the corner. There was me thinking someone might be hiding in the bushes on the inside of the circuit.

Soon seems cheep compared to the cost of 20-odd sets of 36 prints - a number of which didn't deserve the paper they were printed on! Anybody need 20 rolls of 35mm print film, by the way? |

This year the Bonusprint bill was only £7 compared to the usual £40+. So thats the memory cards paid for. The camera should pay for itself in 12 years.

Digi is great for sure! I finally took the plunge earlier this year. Replaced the Canon EOS 3 with an EOS 20D body for £800 and got 2x 2GB cards and a 20GB hard drive with 3.5inch preview screen all for just over £200. Threw another £250 at 4x batteries and a battery grip so total layout was £1250. 20D is 8 megapixel and 5fps. Now discontinued but replacement 30D slightly better specced. Canon 35-350 lens and Canon flash from old body still work I took 2500 shots at Sebring, 2000 at testing and 1500 during race week. Local photo shop used to charge £2 a film for processing and then £5 to scan 8 films to a CD (which was a mega cheap and time efficient way of doing things!). Either way, that's well over a hundred 36exp films there, so that's at least £325 I haven't had to pay out already! With 2x Tour De France stages (1 is a time trial which means LOADS of shots!) and the Classic next week, then Spa, Donington and the Vuelta a Espana time trial later this year, I won't be far off having recovered the cost of all the new kit by the end of the season!!! BUT THE BEST BIT OF ALL ABOUT DIGITAL in my mind is that you can review what you've taken on the spot; so if a prefocussed point is proving to be not quite spot on, you can do something about it! Or even expreriment with shutter speeds etc. and see which works best, all whilst there! Quality now is just as good for me (if not better ... no grainy scans!!!) so for anyone considering whether they should or not, don't consider it any more ... JFDI! I LOVE DIGITAL!! Just my two (euro)cents worth! |

It's a common misconception that there is nowhere to take photos at Le-Mans - or at Motor racing in general. This photo is one of several lovely shots I got at the BTCC at Thruxton with no press pass just a bit of resourcefulness.  And these taken at Le-Mans this year:   And lets face it, if I can do it, anyone can!! |
