The Final Showdown. V8s at Pukekohe

[Wazza]

As copied from a photography forum I'm member of. ;)

Made new post, as the other thread had already almost 2Mb of photos linked up. Taking too long too load.

If you don't understand the comments, don't worry. 100-400L is the mm size of the lens I borrowed off a friend who was there, a member of this other forum.

And Sigma is my cheap lens (70-300mm). My lens is US$250, and this guys is like US$1400. Quite funny to pay a fraction of the price and get at least half the quality.

Here are a few of yesterdays shots.

Sigma - Jones hitting the pit entry after sliding off track, getting airborne, and landing sideways. Lots of dust, hard to see clearly.

Sigma - ISO1600, 1/200th, in semi darkness. Nice glowing brakes. Got some better ones a few min later, but ISO3200, and pretty grainy!

In all, I shot over 4000 shots, or 6Gb worth (2gb max each day with 2x 1Gb Compact Flash memory cards). Photography is a great hobby of mine, and really enjoy it, and this is what has been taking me away from racing games lately. Sorry racing friends. :p

that Brad Jones one is awesome, we could only see the TV view which had the sign in the way, at least your photo shows us this side

Do you have any more of the Jones roll over? Just curious

[Wazza]

Yes, the Brad Jones rollover, I started shooting 5 shots per second, when I saw him going sideways, leaving the road. They were all dusty, and couldn't really see the car, but had to edit them a bit, to fade out the dust. After the crash, I ran 300m down to where he was, and shot the underside of car, him getting out, and the safety cars rolling the car back down. I probably have about 40 shots of the whole incident.
