My mum recorded it all for me on sky so making my way through it all again, I know its sad but gives me something to watch when there's nothing on telly.

Rear cameras a good idea! as epic as the noise is, I don't think I could do more then 1 stint before the ears fell off

Ha, completely agree.

They were loud enough as they went past!

Ade - without wishing to sound boring, id remove the pictures of where you viewed the track.

Other people may have used the same spot and may/may not wish to visit said location again next year

FYI - the unofficial rule with Black Ops is that you only post night pictures, so its not quite so obvious where you sneaked trackside lol!!!

Did you guys meet up with my little Welsh mate on post 18-19 ? The one from Llandow, I shall see him this weekend at Anglesey.

We tried to- went to the marshall point a couple of times but the gates were too far from the hut to get anyone's attention. ):

I saw that as it happened when I was on my little Sunday morning walk when nobody else was up. He was just casually driving it to the pits, I was thinking if that was me I'd of stopped and ran very quickly.

 

[Naith]

you're a shitbag though.

Great pictures Stu!

I was really struggling when it got dark as i only have the kit lens, so had to have slower than i wanted shutter speeds to get light in.

Bump up your ISO in future

Some nice images there mate!

 

[Stu_350z]

i tried that but just seemed to get too much noise for my liking.

Im fairly new to the DSLR scene but im guessing the F stop on the kit lense isnt too great?
What ISO would you recommend?

 

[couzens]

I tried at about 2am to get some pictures, I gave up.

I'm waiting for dave to do a write up before I post them but have a look here in the meen time http://www.flickr.com/photos/couzens1989/

how did you gain access into that compound bit, that was the bit between the village and the car park?

thanks for the kind words, I wish I'd adjusted the shutter speed for it though! it was hacking down with rain and I got a bit fed up and cold.

 

[Stu_350z]

On the friday you could just walk around the compound even took a nosey into some of the awnings and chatted to the team members

Did anyone see that Aston Martin driver called Frank Yu in the special race Brilliant!! lol

 

[couzens]

ahh what gutted did you manage to get a climps of Rowan Attkinson?

Not really mate not at full zoom.

What body you using?

as the 5Dmkii handles high ISO very well imo

this was at about 12.30 at night, I think the backlight from the marque helped aswell.

[Hixle]

Virtually no noise there at ISO 2000, awesome

 

[couzens]

an ISO of 2000!? fooking hell, mine goes to 800 iirc!

[couzens]

FML how much was that Riad? I thought mine was expensive, seems a bit pony in comparison now!

£1600 got a good deal

I keep looking at the 5Dmk3 its double the price body only though! maybe next year when the prices drop.

What you using?

 

[Stu_350z]

Im using a Nikon d5100

Has ISO into 6400 and then a few special settings higher but i cant see them as usable due to noise.
