Wyatt Earp Posted September 9, 2011 Share 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.

geecee Posted September 9, 2011 Share 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 http://www.geecee.co.za/geecee1.jpg http://www.geecee.co.za/geecee2.jpg http://www.geecee.co.za/geecee3.jpg Edited September 9, 2011 by geecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted September 9, 2011 Share i would tend to disagree tho, i think overcast and early morning is ideal but maybe thats just me.... Just too dark, especially when it's about to storm, not enough contrast.I like the panning on that first image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geecee Posted September 9, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mob Posted September 10, 2011 Share Good work Dangle, I love the almost "Cartoon Effect" of the HDR and fisheye together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted September 12, 2011 Share @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 Posted September 12, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geecee Posted September 12, 2011 Share 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 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
