Getting sick of it yet? :lol:

This time, Castrol Edge Jamboree @ Willowbank QLD last weekend

Event rained out sat after 20 qualifying runs.
Event cancelled sunday after hot sun caused concrete to sweat the week's worth of rain it had absorbed..
New date is 13th october meaning i'm back up there for the weekend..

Here's some photos..

#2 is a ripper shot and especially with all the togs on the wall goin' for the same shot :) But I'm guessing you're the only one with a view from the back?


I tried commenting on it in the gallery section, but couldn't embed the image :(

Just did a test, it worked :)

I was copying the URL, but the right click 'copy image address' worked a treat.

Cheers.

2 is the clear standout, amazing shot!!! :up:

Some critique: in 3, it seems the grill and front of the car (especially the numberplate) is a bit soft as is the rear of the car, but the bonnet is tack sharp. Might need a bit more DOF? Similar thing in 1 too (grill is much sharper than the rest). 4 doesn't do a lot for me on its own, needs more smoke/fire/tyre ripples/wheelstands/dragons/etc I think.

Edit: At this stage the 13th is looking good. A bit of a mini meet Kyle?

Guys,

I'd love to meet up with you all out at the rescheduled Jamboree, but I'll be in Tassie recovering from a week of shooting an AFL comp down there.

I might have to do something about getting out there next year.

Cheers

Simon PS. Kyle. Definitely love #2. The others are all good as well. What were you using for these particular shots?
