Lol, the light did improve, first pics werent that light but the close ones (like the No1 car) i was getting around 1/1200s shutter which surprised me.

edit: i got one or two of the boxter but they were crap, my dad got a good one, will link it when he gets them up ;)

I was using iso1600 1/125th for most of the day.

I got ISO200 :D and never above F4, mainly F3-F3.6

The lighting was shocking, its amongst the worst i've ever photographed a rally in. One thing that i've noticed the rally photographers whose work with the wrc i usually admire have all taken crap shots at rally ireland.

My idea is to fill the memory card (or take a laptop and fill it a few times) and you will always get a few good pictures :D

I generally take very few photos at events. I think i've filled my mem card twice in total.

I took very few pictures compared to what i normally take yesterday, i think me and my friend got over 1000 pictures at the TEESSIDE ACES this year.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the Oople forums and I thought I would introduce myself. My name is John Cary and at one point I was a photo student and decided to go a different route. Though in the mean time I do shot quite a bit of R/C Stuff along with night photography as well. Recently I did some work for R/C Car Action in the form of shooting both studio and action for some up coming reviews in the magazine. The two cars are the new Team Associated B44 and the Kyosho Lazer SP. Let me know what you think and I will be posting stuff as often as I can.

Thanks,
John

And some more......

Some of my favourite photos from my trip to Alaska last summer. Taken with a 100 quid camera on landscape mode :p Original images are of course a much higher resolution.

Caryphotography.....

Wow dude those pictures are awesome, what kind of camera are you using? The colours are so rich and well balanced too! Do you photoshop them much or are they mostly all just good camera work?

Your pics dont look over-saturated like a lot of "photographers". (a.k.a people that take average pics and photoshop the shit out of them later!)

Awesome job, they look great, very professional looking!

nice photos cary, like the night strobed stuff lots! :)


DF03, I think I take the most over saturated photos ever - but that's what I like. It's a camera setup thing rather than photoshop. Check out the photos from the Worlds I took with my D200, awesomely saturated! :)
If you look around the net, you'll see a lot of grey images from the event - not mine. Not to everyones taste maybe but I do it to appeal to myself and hopefully some others will like it also. :)

Some great shots there john, I like the night stuff they are nice and unusual.

Im quite the opposite to jimmy my camera's setup to undersaturate to give even more dull pictures with higher contrast, but that again is my preference. Some people prefer high saturation some people prefer low. With my rally shots I often have a little bit more saturation than my usual shots as it helps the cars stand out a bit more but my most peoples standards they are still undersaturated.
