Fair enough, you have had it since trax. Already passed on to a new owner, when they find it

Did you get a chance to take any pics of the cs stand ?

Oh really like the look of the 106 gti sporting a bit of advertising for you on the sunstrip.

Canon 350D - 300mm F4L for the track shots, same with a 28-105 3.5-4.5 II for the few statics

By the time I changed lenses to do any static pics you (apart from a the Liquid 182) had all gone home, hence only pics on Dee's and Mine.

I know Dee took some though.

Oh yes has to be done, need to pay for the Lenses somehow!

 

[Rich]

nice pics rich, didnt think your car was up to normal standards tho he he

i may be purchasing that exact camera

second hand, with standard 18 - 55mm lense, 512 card and bag = £275

good price?

 

[caymanr26]

I was stunned at the paint on your car rich - Im gettin a black car next so might have to pop up and see you - could be some more cash for you to help pay for the lenses?!?

 

[Rich]

I thought Rob showed everyone on Sat Dee.

Sounds a good price Neil, I payed a lot more than that for mine with the kit lense!

Cheers Tim - lol no probs!

Top pics Rich, always enjoy seeing yours from Combe, always a bit different from most I see.

Most of them are pin sharp, 1/250?

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice line of cars.

Cheers Chris. The rate of Keepers seems to be going up. Was having a 'mare with the sun, had walked the whole circuit once already by 11.

Different in a good or bad way ?

Most where shoot at 1/320 as I had used the 300mm prime all day, still no monopod so it gets heavy after a while.

 

[timo172cup]

Anyone know if the williams reg. RUO 2S belongs to a member on here?

Tim

 

[Rich]

I think he is off the Williams Site

Different in a good way, I see about 10 different photographers pics after a Combe day and most are very similar to each other, you always find a slightly different angle and/or take your pics at a slightly different time to everybody else which gives a really dynamic look even at a relatively fast shutter speed, especially at Quarry. I wish I could go there but the power lines completely wipe me out, I even have to go down into the car park to walk around if I'm doing a lap of the circuit!

So yes, I like them

 

[Neil G]

Good pics

 

[darren_rallye]

Some clio here if one of you?

Cheers Chris. I really want a monpod this season to try some lower shutter speeds with the 300mm on. I am fine at lots slower shutter speeds with the 200mm on but find it is to short at Quarry, Camp or Tower.

I thought of you on Sat as some people near by where talking about feeling odd, I have only ever noticed it once during the rain.

 

[Mikey]

cracking pics as usual Rich!!! whats with the SAAB on track loooooool!

 

[Rich]

Anything goes on Combe action days.

One Saab caught fire on track!

 

[Mikey]

lol not like saabs usually??

 

[deedee]

Anything goes on Combe action days.

One Saab caught fire on track!

Me and Jen saw that happen, everyone was running round shouting for a fire extinguisher, took the marshalls at least 3 minutes to get down to it, which is pretty lame, the thing could have blown!!

 

[RichRSi]

I would have loved to have gone to this as it's not too far from me, it looks like you all had a great day, it would have been good to meet you guys too. I'm not a paid member of CS though, would this matter. Can you only join CS over the net or can you join by cheque / cash at an event?

 

[Rich]

There was CS stand ( did not park on it myself) but anyone can go along. I go to most of the Combe action day events regardless of the club being there.


You can join by Cheque, drop (Emma) Pootle a PM.

 

[Nafoff]

how do you guys mean feeling wierd at quarry?

the rou 2s plated willy is on williamsclio yes but as i am aware he is usually always at coombe
