F1

Well i started chatting about this some time ago and was asking your advice.

then due to law i did`nt think i was going to be able to make it!
last minute got some tickets and set off.

unfortunatly i was short of cash so could`nt afford that slr but i took my trusty fuji along anway and got a few reasonable snaps for my experience and the camera i was using.

we were seated at luffied but i did`nt like it as it is a slow part of the track and in my mind the idea of this is to expereance the speed so on a very wet walk we managed to sneak to the rails of the hanger straight,

with stewards in front with a fence blocking view not ideal but it was a great day out and a photography experience.

just restoring my pc ill pop a few picks up later but i know quite a few people from ur were going to attend so would love to see what they got

cheers tony

my best shot
like i said not great but considering the fence stewards camera and experience im happy with it

no cropping editing ect has been done this is straight off the card

the bigger i make it the better it looks as it fades the fence out

please share

ah man, bet that was awesome. what a shame you didn't have it slightly further out, just to get the 6 inches either end you missed. one of the guru's on here could have photoshopped the fence out.

still a good shot though considering the tools. maybe try a crop of lewis' head and cockpit, maybe that would make a second image all by itself.

nice to be square on like that, well done.

Nice shot especially as this is a moving car, i have a bucket load of F1 shots from when i used to work in F1 and it's always nice to see a natural shot.

Well done there chap.

:applause:

"Lewis ! come in for tyres, your running on threads"

[billythesquid]

was a brave but silly move not ideal for his driving style!!

what is a good simple program for cropping and boarder images?

No chance you stand no chance of getting a pass unless your mega rich and famous or working, sorry.

I still do work for F1 teams via my company now and i can not get a pass now, go to testing yes but F1 race day, no.

:)
