The revenger of Tarmac's, Noneking, Divernick , Cois and Grebel, good stuff fellas, I really enjoyed the last few.

 

On a recent whirlwind trip to Germany I had about an hour to take pics in the small town we overnighted in, it was overcast, early morning and not really ideal for photography.

I decided to take out the fisheye lens, which already goes totally against the conventional and gives a very definite distortion, all the images were taken hand held with the use of HDR for single image exposures in mind, not for everyone, but I love this kind of stuff.

im not a huge hdr fan, but interesting pics.

i would tend to disagree tho, i think overcast and early morning is ideal but maybe thats just me....

 

 

My attempt at capturing a few at the supermoto on the weekend past

Just too dark, especially when it's about to storm, not enough contrast.

I like the panning on that first image.

[geecee]

yes i was going to add unless its a tad dark

but i got lazy.

 

i wasnt too impressed with my results, but i had a grumpy girlfriend and a throbbing headache, so i did what i could, before caving in and telling the gf we can head home

[Wyatt Earp]

but i had a grumpy girlfriend

I know that feeling, the wife also makes sure at times that she is unhappy

Good work Dangle, I love the almost "Cartoon Effect" of the HDR and fisheye together

[Grebel]

@Geecee: I tried a few times to get the panning effect with the blurred background but no luck... Shutter speed too high and timing was off. (Maybe I should start reading those tutorials...)

 

I checked out your website but it is under re-development. When will it be back up?

 

It is amazing where you can go at an event like that when you have a camera with a biggish lense on and a bag on your back... I manged to even get a wave from the marshals while standing right next to the dirt section while everybody else got chased away. "Only guys with cameras allowed. Now get back behind the trees!"

 

@Dangle: I have been toying with buying a fisheye attachment for my kit lense just to play a bit. They say it is fine for amateur photographers but not reccomended for professionals as it blurs the edges. For the price of the attachment though I would be happy to crop!!

[geecee]

best thing is carry a 'car guard'/safety bib with you and get media printed on it...

 

Then u'll see where you can get haha.

 

Motorsport sa requires you to pay a hefty fee and get approved to get any sort of media accreditation. Big politics over it, seems there are a few people protecting a select few photographers in that whole organisation.

 

I was shooting at around f8 with shutter at about 250/320 if i remember correctly. Iso 100.

But its not easy to get the bike sharp and in focus. I have the advtantage of 8fps on my 7d

[geecee]

oh as for the website i think http://photo.geecee.co.za might still be up. But all those photos are from around 2 years ago i think, cant recall.

 

I just havent had time to finish off the new website :/

Aaaaah the magical 7fps... I topped out at 2,7fps Nothing stopping you from publishing photos of a MSA sanctioned event, if you aren't one of the flock so to speak, though surely?
