Top stuff dave

 

Do they still let you join if you aren't a Ford Owner?

 

Yes mate - you get a full years membership the same as every RS owner - plus you get to go to other RS events such as national day and maybe other track day next year.

 

I will be there spectating and armed with my camera

 

yep, come on guys!! Get booked up. We'll be there giving the 205 a good shakedown again.

 

Dingy

Is there any way that you could get me inside to where the photographers stand, so i can get some better pics of you all.....

 

tiff what camera do you use ?
what would you recommend for a begginer ?
i want to be able to manually set things on it like exposure time and all what you think ??

thanks jim

ooh ps we wont be at malory

 

Jim

Have a look at the canon EOS DSLR range........they are all manually operated ect so you can get the shots you want

I use a Canon EOS 10d as i really like the feel of this unit

 

ah cool !! ill check them out !

what sort of price should i be looking at ?

i didnt want something stupidy expensive tho

 

I use a Nikon D50 Jimbo, these are pretty cheap but still have all the manual controls, not the best camera in the world but ample for panning shots like this:

 

Tiff, i can sort somert out mate no stress

 

that would be fine for me !!
this is one it is good price too ??!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-D50-18-5...d=p3286.c0.m14

i want to be able to take blurred shots like cars on motorways so there is just light streams !!!

i think its the exposure time i need to change ?!
does this camera have this function chip ?

jim

 

Nice one Steve

Count me in then...........

 

Apologies Dingy for the thread wandering!

Yes j1mbo, thats the one, what a bargain at that price if its in good order!

Yes it does shutter speed select, thats how I took the blurred background shot of that BMW, by setting a slow shutter speed then panning the camera to stay focussed on the car so it stays still as the background blurs.

 

ah cool sounds a good camera !! ill watch that one

if i get it you and tiff are gonna be bombarded by questions btw

cheers for ya help lads

 

Might be up for this one as its the day after me b'day

 

Not arsed chip - its all good

People coming taking photo's and posting them for free is all part of the thread as far as i am concerned

 

as I said on the Oulton Park day, wanna see how the new engine performs at the ring in a few weeks but if goes well, reckon id be up for it

 

......who's that..???.....and was it at the ring easter 2006...???

 

It was April 2007 mate, easter 2006 I was far too busy crashing my own E30 at the ring to take pics of anyone else's

I dont know who it is, was just showing JJ how to do panning shots as we were spectating.

 

...was it that colour..........

 

jimbo go for a nikon d80. that will be fine for now

then go for real good lense. maybe one of there 75-200mm lenses with a 2.8 appreature.

 

What circuit lay-out will be being used?

 

 

d80, theye like 400 ££

the d50 is cheaper and by the sound of fings wud do me fine !

i dont wanna spend lots on it tbh !!

 

you never know fella you might start getting into it more and then wishing you would have got the d80.

iv just ordered my d300

 

chip..........could be........i have a vid of me on my first ring lap...........and a grey M3 type thing goes flying past me..........i put my foot down to try and catch up...i do a bit, but then i havn't got a clue and the BM fooks off..............the only way to show u would be to take a vid of it playing on the telly and post it......(but i dont have a VHS any more)

 

Full circuit

 

haha yeah no wat ya mean but just wanna have it for a few snaps here and there and just to have a pplay really as long as it does a few basic features then im happy !!
just cheap and cheerful to start with lol

 

Would be great to get some footage of it if it was us.

Here's a picture with the Reg, and showing the car a bit better, if you could have a look next time you are near a VHS that would be spot on

 

get it in time to take some practise shots of my engine

 

haha i only take pictures of good things
