Nope... and those pics were at the start of the day, I did a few more forest miles after then... nowt wrong with a bit of dirt though, I'd rather be driving my Clio than staying home polishing it :D

Yeah, it's the "learn how to use natural and artificial lighting" effect ;)

Thanks! I think the lighting (they were taken as the sun was just starting to appear) and the water drops on the car/condensation on the windows has made the pics look better than they would usually.

It'll have a proper wash in around 4 weeks, no point cleaning it properly until after the Cambrian and RAC Rally as it'll only get all dirty again - lots of driving around muddy tracks :D

Me and a few mates were parked up in a quarry on Friday night ready for a rally yesterday, I did a few pics as the sun was coming up...

I don't know about circuit stuff but there's no chance of making a living at rally photography. A few years ago before everyone had DSLRs then maybe but not now. Drivers are reluctant to pay anything anyway, especially with most folk being willing to give them freebies. The only way to make...

Depends what you mean by "do photography"... pro-photographer's assistant? working for a newspaper? doing weddings etc as a freelance?

Sigma 10-20... I prefer 50mm unless trying silly things

Think of some themes before you go and stick to them rather than going for the tourist shots. I'd have thought limiting yourself to one prime lens would stifle creativity rather than encourage it eg taking a 50mm you might get a standard tourist shot, take an 18-200 and you can zoom in on...

Albi can look very dark in certain lighting conditions. The pic is a couple of stops underexposed as well.

Thanks!! Hornchurch? Is that anywhere near Witham? Was down there a few weeks ago on another model shoot.

Yes it's Albi. Other than blanking my number plate out and the b & w one there is no photoshopping.

I've been in Cumbria doing a model photoshoot this weekend, had a slight detour via Ingleton to get there :) oh and one of the model :)

No, unless you have a particular need for a f2.8 lens.

A couple of things I'd suggest.... 1. Composition - eg first pic is good but I think it would've been better to crop out the grass/fence on the right and have the signs on the right and the figure on the left. Also get the full Private Fishing sign in rather than cropping the bottom of it...

Yesterday in Radnor forest...

If you don't want to splash out for 12 then Digipad sell them in 5's: http://digipad.co.uk/html/digipads.htm

Autotests? Not much speed but very cheap and fun.

aye, he was chasing that pesky Clio round the lifeguard hairpin :eek:

Plastic spatulas are sold in Ikea, 50p I think. Trim the end to your sensor size and wrap the pad around the end.

This is a useful site for flash stuff... http://strobist.blogspot.com/ ... especially the Lighting 101 series of articles.

I don't blame him, 6R4 for me any day. Not that I'd fit in a Darrian anyway. The braking is the most amazing thing about purpose-built rally cars I think, I went in a Focus WRC and the stopping power was fantastic. The acceleration up hill on gravel from a standing start was pretty impressive...

John Stone in his Metro 1.3HLE complete with silly bodykit ;)

it's you.

Yeah, not sure this look will catch on really!

Aye.

Promenage Stages rally yesterday...

Parts have arrived, car is fixed, should be there barring any last minute disasters :eek:
