Title: VAG Trackday @ Castle Combe
Post by: Hedge on July 16, 2011, 09:09:31 pm: I spent most of the morning trying to hide from the rain under the JKM Gazebo. :ashamed:

Just a few from the afternoon by popular request. :wink:

Was that seriously going round the track? :laugh: thought it was some kinda recovery vehicle :driver:
Title: Re: VAG Trackday @ Castle Combe
Post by: Hedge on July 17, 2011, 04:41:32 pm: Nope. I know the driver. He was drifting it round quarry to the cheers and applause of the spectators.

He did take all the scaffold poles and tools out the back for the track though. :grin:

Post by: simonp on July 17, 2011, 04:55:58 pm: I need a tip: all my track shots froze the wheels, making the cars look static. How do I set the camera to make them look like they're spinning?
Title: Re: VAG Trackday @ Castle Combe
Post by: Hedge on July 17, 2011, 04:57:09 pm: Shutter priority and slow things down. 1/160 sec and below should be fine.
Title: Re: VAG Trackday @ Castle Combe
Post by: simonp on July 17, 2011, 05:33:35 pm: Cheers, Ian. I was just pointing and shooting, tbh!

Here's a few I took of the cars not moving on the track. :grin:

Post by: Hedge on July 17, 2011, 05:38:40 pm: Ah I see 1/1600th would kinda freeze things. :smiley:

Post by: chungster on July 17, 2011, 06:36:13 pm: Start at 1/250 then work ur way down towards 1/150 if you're getting good at it. It's not easy and takes practice to get clean looking shots but satisfying when u nail it. Hence I tend to end up taking 1000 pics at track days lol

I'll be spectating and togging at Audi day in October.

Post by: Top Cat on July 17, 2011, 07:50:55 pm: Looks like Neil and SteveP's cars are twins. One Devil and one Angel. :evilgrin: :innocent:

Good shots as usual Hedge. :happy2:
