Lens Flair

Some cool shots over the last few pages!

Jayhawk - I like that one of the swingset!

Dan - Those rig-shots are looking awesome! How long are the poles you're using between the suction mounts and the camera? And what focal length? Looks like a pretty wide angle lens...

Paddy - That drift shot is great!

Iben - Good work on the skiing shots, I wish I was still out there!

MXM - That porsche shot from the trackday... When I first saw it, I thought it was a static shot, you used such a fast shutter speed. Perhaps try a longer shutter to try and capture a sense of motion? Also, did you try desaturating the background just a bit, rather than complete black and white? I find that often works quite well with selective colour.

mancs - Nice effect with the fisheye!

Alok - I think I'd like that shot of the Cayman better if the focus was changed just slightly, to make the curves of the car the focal point, rather than the hatchback/body panel gap... Did you take a version like that?

And here's one from me. Another from the jump at Whistler. Skiers checking the jump, and film crew/skiers/officials all standing by.

Nice shot Alok, been really interesting watching you develop your style, keep at it !

Did you pick up your own DSLR yet ?

Thanks!

Regarding the DSLR, it will be a long time since that will be a possibility, mainly since now I have to fund for my living costs, and from next year on, unless a miracle happens and I get eligible for a scholarship, I will have to raise about 6k euros per year all by myself, which is going to be very tricky. It's still on the very top of my wishlist though :)
 
This should be a solid cog...

Yes, I know the windscreen is spatted with flies....but still, this one is straight out of the cam.

Dug this up from last August's ALMS race at Road America:

Great shot Alok! Can you tell me about the shutter speed ant etc.? Definetly going to try something like that :)

it was shot at 10 sec exposure in shutter priority mode.

one for the day
