Nick,
What focal length and speed of lens did you use please? What kind of shutter speed range did you use?
Just asking because the pictures are excellent, and better than anything I've managed to shoot in the past. I've tended to use an f4-f5.6 100-400 zoom on a crop sensor.
Awesome pics
Jas
Damp track is a great leveller of cars:thumbsup:I was most impressed by the standard of driving this time,no damage that I heard of & no stoppages:thumbsup:Malc.... talk is of June / July for next year. :cry3: Pity, I love driving in the rain.... levels the playing field, unless bloody Neil (the Rainmiester) Tiganut is behind you, briefly ....
Summer would give more track time,& therefor allow for a lot more rides.
i still wouldnt object to a bit of rain though:wink3:
cheers Jas
i went a bit unprepaired this year as my useual 150-500 lens was MIA so was useing the std kit lens which is 18-105 also on a crop sensor nikon d300.
So for instance this shot below
The exif data is
Exposure 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture f/6.3
Focal Length 75 mm
ISO Speed 200
Exposure Bias +1/3 EV
if you see any shots you like on my flickr and want to know the settings to the right of the image above the map it says when the photo was taken and what with in this case nikon d300 click on that and it will bring up all the information relating to that shot.
all i have done in post is boost the contrast a fraction or on the enzo pics removing the gopro from the roof

Yup, great standard of driving. Only three low speed spins at Druids and one at Clearways from the Benetton. :grin: (told John he should have let me drive). :wink3:
Good point about more light / more rides. :hmmm:
I need to start a feedback thread soon. Last year the main suggestion that was flagged was seperate sessions for road & track cars, which we put in place for this year and it worked very well. :thumbsup:

Thanks Nick :thumbsup:
Only a 18-105 kit lens :shocked: Just goes to prove that old adage about the skill of the photographer being paramount, and not his kit :thumbsup:
Based on that, I suspect I'd be better using a 70-200 rather than a 100-400, so long as I can shoot from the trackside

Summer would be perfect, and maximise rides and passenger thrills :thumbsup:
I really struggled putting the power down, especially at clearways where I had a few twitchy moments
You're right that the wet conditions were a great leveller of vehicles.Looking at my in-car Smartycam footage at the weekend, and related AIM dash data, I barely exceeded 6000 rpm at any time, and didn't use full throttle much. I mostly stayed in high gears too, using 4th and 5th almost the whole time. Lateral G force was very low too, indicating low cornering grip.
A wet track with light weight, cut slicks, mid engine, high power and no electronic aids do not happy bedfellows make :shocked:

Nikon 70-200 is a cracking lens Nick, well worth the wonga. As an aside, if you can live without VR, the AFS or AFD 80-200 is damned near as good for about half the price.
all the track action shots are now up the grid line up pics are just uploading now http://www.flickr.com/photos/nwvt/sets/72157628046304078/

Thank you, everyone. :dude:
