Didnt think they still race there ! I remember doing that jump many many years ago and on normal street BMX bikes Raligh Night Burner if I can recall ! Is the drop through the tree's still there after the table top ! that was scary ! Especially when i drove my Losi JRX-PRO SE over then went and picked up all the bits ! Wonder if I could get round now ???? :blush:

not a photo but some photoshop and marker work
 

Just a few from a car show last weekend...

That last photo................ooh that grass has got some thatch! nasty:woot::)

Bondy!!
Unfortunately the old track is no longer. As class as it was, it was a 'health and safety' thing, as the old track got a bit too fast, and having a 15ft drop directly into a right hand turn wasn't too good an idea.:woot:
We used to have hours of fun jumping off the big jump and landing on our chins!!! Ouch!! Some class injuries were acheived.:thumbsup:

its now more of an 'American style' track with a S shape to the layout and loads of huge jumps instead.:lol: Its all compact up the top end now and is pretty much all in th space before where the first table top used to be.

Nice, like the first one, sharp - a sense of movement, and the composition of the third - forground/background.

Good stuff:thumbsup:

Some of the shots in this thread are unbelievably good, I'm a pretty poor photographer but here is a couple from my last trip away. Shot with a 40D, standard 18-55mm lens.

I thought it was Wigan shopping centre lol

Good work everyone!

Mole - loving the Monaco shots, great job!. Had only been snapping a couple of months when I went and would love to go back now I've learnt a bit more.

Heres a few of my newuns :D

some great pic's being posted,
would it be possible to add your body/lense's plus if poss what settings you use for the pic's. as a newby to the world of photography it would help to have a base line starting point for different types of pictures:thumbsup:

thanks

Pete, how do you do those water shots?

G

@ losixxx - good point, will begin to include that info. Any existing ones you want info for, pm me and I'll have a look in the archives.

@ Northy - A tripod is essential, then preferably a dull day or twilight. Set a low ISO and a small aperture (typically f8 or higher) and watch the shutter speed drop. Anything over 1/4 sec will begin to capture the flow, over 2 secs will start to give that 'silky' effect so experiment and see. Use a remote shutter release or self-timer for steadier shot. The beer can is optional :D

Or if you can't wait for a dull day get a ND filter :thumbsup:

Cheers Pete, how come the beer can is in focus then? :confused: Wasn't it moving?

G

Got stuck in the rocks i guess
The 'silky' water effect also makes the water look like it was moving fast but in reality it may of just been trickling down!

Aye, a ND filter will do if Northy can't find a dull day in Yorkshire :p

Many a dull day here in Gods Country, it's finding a nice stream that'll be harder :)

Cheers Pete.

1st time out with new camera so still playing on Auto mode.

any settings with pics would be ace as men dont read manuals :thumbsup:

Mike - the manual will not tell you how to take good photo's, just what the buttons do.

Picking up hints & tips is good, but really you just need to get it out of auto & try loads of mad stuff to see what comes out.

Some of the best images come from intentionally going against accepted rules.

Try taking the same shot over & over using auto, then all the settings you can find, digital = free and no need to take notes, the settings are in the picture exif file. Then look to see whats different, blur on moving objects, depth of field, colour. I have often thought the "stream" shot applied to car racing could be a nice picture - static background & blurry cars.......there is a arty one out there somewhere.
Shoot into and with the sun, bracket the exposure - that AV+- button, same shot - see how they change, see what you like. Early morning/late evening sun.........warmer & softer.....but you need the same subject from much the same spot so you can compare.

ok who can help, how do i attach a big pic like all the others to the thread?? all i seem to be able to do is an attachment:thumbdown:

Chris, I had this problem and these are the first pictures of mine that have appeared "full size".. in fact, too large (sorry everyone).

I registered with photobucket.com and then uploaded my pictures to it. You get four different types of html for different situations. copy the one with IMG at the start then just paste them in here.. it seems to work. My mistake was not resizing the photo's to appear smaller when i uploaded them.

thanks neil

Then those men will generally take pretty rubbish pictures, Mike.

Unless you only ever take one kind of shot, there are no magic settings. You will need to know what various settings are available, how to adjust them on your particular camera and how each adjustment will affect the final image.

Just like RC there's no substitute for simply going out and practicing, but reading the manual really is the first step if you want to successfully graduate from using idiot mode anytime soon.

yes I know. I have been Reading the manual and watching some DVDs and stuff, trying to figure out all the buttons and camera features. I played around with the arpeture and shutter speed and ISO settings last night got some half decent images off. Just need to keep practicing.
