did you have to work last night or something?

didnt you get home last night?

 

this post actually occurred last night at 10:55 pm, just over on the nesba board and then I'm assuming while bored at work he posted the same thing on clsb and didn't bother changing the content to reflect that he is actually not going to sleep at 10am...

Anyway, looking forward to seeing saturdays pics. Good lookin pics tony! Thanks.

 

Thanks for the new Avatar!

 

+1

Thanks again Ron!

Where can I find my pictures? :redface

 

The idea of The Flying Burrito on a 1K is frightening. Not as in a mayhem kinda way, but in a "How the hell am I ever going to catch up with _that_!?!" kinda way.

 

Tony thanks for the pic. How do you have time to take pics between sessions? I feel like I just sit down then its time to go back out.

 

How do you have time to take pics between sessions?

It's the constant supply of Starbucks on his pit table. What you don't see are the triple expresso shots that go into each cup before the coffee.

 

Hey big boy looks like you got some great pictures too (dispite having a Canon)!:flip

 

quit effing around and post saturday's pics already will ya!? even though Ken critiqued 'em all for us already :cheers: , I'd like another (sober) look at them.

this would make stive happy

 

Ok I'll get to work on it, they will be up before the end of the night.

 

wow that was a much more civil and non-smack talking response than I was expecting. Thanks for your expedient service!

 

Surprising too considering I'm finishing off this PBR that was left in my cooler :laughing

 

mmmm, PBR.

 

Ok saturday pics are up.

Also ll my photos are unworked, straight out of the camera and resized. If anyone finds one they really like and wants a full rez version cleaned up in photoshop to print etc just let me know.

 

damn...

 

did this end badly? that front wheel doesn't look right. maybe its just the angle of the camera.

 

yeah, it did. the next day and in the other turn though

the bike was launched in the air by the pothole at the bus stop (which I swear was not there on Saturday).

Thanks for taking time to shoot photos! Those are important learning tool, as evidently shown by my bad example

 

Nice shots T - Alex, ya look like a pro bro - Good on ya mate

 

great pics tony! thanks again man.

Mopar, you are oh so close my friend

 

just saw this one too.. damn tony :bow

your gonna have to get me the full size ones of those!

 

No problem. I can clean it up a lot too. in fact that may be the one I was playing with in the trailer the other day.

 

alex, fucken AWESOME picture, regardless what i said Saturday night:5shots:

 

What ISO and shooting mode setting were you using? Were you using center weighted metering?

You may want to pick the turns you're shooting based on the angle of the sun. Based on the shadows it appears you had the sun in front of you for several of the shots. Combine this with the fact that you were shooting with the sun high in the sky and you get problems with contrast. This is especially true of dark bike/dart suit combinations.

I picked one under exposed picture to show you the histograph. If you adjust the camera to include this in the preview window, it can help you adjust your exposures for better overall contrast.

On the histograph, darker details are left and lighter right and the verticle is the level. Notice two things, the detail on the dark side is off the scale and on the right side isn't even registering. This indicates that this particular shot was underexposed. You could have probably slowed down the shutter two stops for this shot.

 

Interesting. I will try that, Practice makes perfect.

 

Thanks for the pic!

 

Awesome pics Tony! :bow ...thanks for taking these, very professional looking.

Can hardly believe this is me, such a huge improvement since my last time at the track last year (with different org)....my body position improved greatly from just a couple sessions with the CRs (thanks again Blarney for helping me to 'look for your keys' :cheers: ).

Tony, I'd love to get the full res image.

 

On it's way Frank
