    How's this looking (photo site)

    http://www.secombe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ Opinions very welcome on this, spent a bit of time putting this together since yesterday as I want a placeholder for my motorsport stuff (the actual galleries are still on Smugmug) which I will add a nice straightforward URL to as well soon. The idea...

    Eye-Fi: Genius

    Firstly, this clearly has limited use for us, but it's seriously genius in my opinion. If you happened to spend a lot of time in NYC or travelling across America it could be pretty cool... http://www.eye.fi/ Basically a 2GB SD card with built in Wi-Fi, when you are in range of a Wayport...

    Got $99,000 spare?

    We've had a few mega-telephoto threads before, but I thought this was interesting as it actually puts it into perspective with some real life shots you can get your head around... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/newsLetter/Mother-of-All-L-Lenses.jsp Tax free if shipped to the UK!

    Insurance cancellation

    I wasn't aware of this, but Swiftcover automatically renew your cover every year. Off I went and got covered by eSure, but I'm now also covered by Swiftcover again as it renewed (I never received a letter / email) Anyhow, I decided to cancel the eSure cover, and having a look at the T&Cs it...

    Motorsport 2008: My View

    Thought I would post a few of my Motorsport efforts from 2008, as I don't think I've posted any in the Photography section before, and I'm bored. Called time on the remaining events this year due to taking it easy whilst I wait for my op, and only having a D50 and one charged battery (no...

    A moist day at Castle Combe

    Last day of the season at Combe today so I dropped in for a short while, illness is causing problems with my camera holding abilities so it was a case of do the best I can in short bursts. Entertaining weather, seeing the rain start to come down whilst the monster Jags were racing was quite a...

    For anyone still unsure about DSLR Video

    Watch, be amazed (and remember this is at 1/4 resolution)... http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2086 Shot in 72hrs, no training, no manual, small budget and all the footage is completely raw from the camera. 'Making of' is...

    If you could take ONE lens to New York...

    What would it be? I did the whole tourist thing last year and got pretty much every standard shot I was after (most with my Sigma 10-20) at a level of quality I was more than happy with, so this year I'm putting my Christmas money towards one lens to take to NYC with me in February, everything...

    Clio 197 Cup does 24hr Silverstone

    Great performance from the 'unreliable' French hatch, I didn't stay till the end, apparently it didn't make it to the finish but completed enough laps to finish well up the table and just ahead of its rival (Elise 111S). A few stats... - Finished 16th overall inc. 1st in Class (51 starters, 37...

    Britcar 24hr

    On Thursday it was 50/50 whether I would be on an IV in Hospital this weekend, on Saturday I was at the Britcar 24hr (I had a ticket, I couldn't waste it!), so drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers and antibiotics, I managed about 6 hours there. Didn't get the camera out much as I couldn't...

    The yearly 'Quarry Action Day crash' video

    Here goes... CnD9AmYcPXU&sdig=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnD9AmYcPXU&sdig=1 Filmed over 6 or 7 events this year, it's actually been a relatively quiet year (although the BMW after 3 minutes is a biggy). A couple of Clios in there from the Performance Car Action Day

    Castle Combe Raceday (Superkarts etc)

    A few from today... These ridiculous things do 100mph average laps, hit 130mph over Avon Rise and take Quarry at nearly 80mph...INSANE! The hardest thing I've ever tried to photograph. and some more conventional stuff... and no day out for...

    Cliosport @ Eurofest 2008

    A few pics from an entertaining day at Combe. Had lots of fun with my new lens, nothing special here as I was getting used to it/learning to use it more than anything else, but I'm loving it already... More here...

    Bought a lens...

    Not something I've done nearly as often as I might have expected when I first bought my DSLR, but I've bought a lens (second-hand, of course)... Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX APO IF HSM, 2.6kg :eek: This was firmly in 'dream' category when I got my DSLR nearly 2 years ago, but through some...

    Sportscar Raceday - Castle Combe

    Just when I think I'm getting a bit bored, along comes the always brilliant Aston Martin Owners Club and the events that sit with them...and then we have the best (and clean!) Saloon Car Race I have seen in a long long time. Then to top it off, I find a new angle at the end of the day that I've...

    Cliosport Photography Challenge Round 13: Night / Reflections

    Congrats to AndyRS and halfpint for their joint victory in the last round with their images depicting 'Grafitti' ...controversial, but I've decided to sit on the fence and take both of their suggestions, so you have a choice this time around (or extra kudos if you can combine the...

    A day out with my kit lens (Lulworth Cove)

    As I'm 10-20less my 50mm has been ever-present when not shooting motorsport, but as I was packing my bag this morning I found something I've not used since January 2007...my kit lens. Apart from stupidly leaving my camera on ISO400 all day, it seemed to work well, nice and sharp, wide enough to...

    Lotus Cortina

    The best 'old' car out there? Absolutely love them, seem to spend as much time going sideways as they do forward, a lottery win would probably see £20k of mine thrown at one of these (off-white and green, everytime), stunning. And a few from Flickr... and the rear is...

    Black 197 - Castle Combe (Pic)

    A bit of two (and three) wheeled stuff

    Popped into Combe this morning, mainly to check out the F2 sidecars (completely bonkers, they must have balls the size of watermelons, one came around the corner without a passenger, I dread to think what happened to him!) as I'm not a fan of bikes at all. Took a few photos, as always... 420mm...

    A few from Silverstone today...

    My first time there today, it's big! Didn't take many photos as I spent most of the day walking trying to figure out where I was and where everything else was. Finally got used to it by the end but at least I know for future events now...

    172 Cup and Trophy - Silverstone

    172 Cup parked in the Silverstone Racing Club Car Park today, a nice Trophy out the back of the Paddock (near a Megane Trophy!), anyone here? Amusingly, an Audi R8 was parked quite close to me in the public car park, difference was that one was in a disabled bay (with no badge), these...

    Spotted a nice "V6" at Tesco today

    It looks so much better in these photos than it did in the metal. ...and to save anybody looking, it's an, ahem, grey Clio RXE.
