Aye Spenny lad, it's 'Halo' above Haslingden. Bloody big hill to walk up, that!

Wow. I thought I had it bad... I get only get 19miles per gallon on premium (probably the same as "optimax"?), but I don't have to pay ridiculously high gas prices... If my math is correct that's only around £4.5 for me to go 45 miles. You get to go a lot faster than me, though, and I'd gladly pay the extra money to go that fast :D

So umm, what is that thing? Some type of British weapon of mass destruction? :eh?:

lol jk. But really, what is it? Looks like a weird giant satellite dish, to me... Found it on Google Earth, sort of, there are other pictures of it, but I'm still confused :)

Chris

Art installation i guess... Something like 'Angel of the north' or the Gormleys in crosby.... Will have to get one of the girls up there for a shoot, looks good

A waste of my council tax thats what that is.:wtf:

It's an installation, one of a series of 'Panopticons' across East Lancashire. More info HERE. Certainly an odd sight, but it made for a few interesting snaps.

Mulcahy, you're a grumpy old cu....









...ltureless swine :D

I will be 36 this year nearer to 40 than 30, it is a bit of a wast of money and as for culture I watched last night at the proms about 10 years ago. The pics are fantastic Pete you are getting an eye for it now.:D:D

couple in the woods today, some rare sun too! I just liked the colours of the leaves.

Wow, awesome pics Jimmy! Especially love the second one.

who was driving jimmy :confused:

Mrs oOple ! She's not right good at jumping hence why you never really see owt airborne in my reviews :p

Nice shots there jimmy, the light and colour of the leafs really suits the car and looks well.

i let my missus have a go on one of my buggys once :o never again, but i told her she did really well :p

She can't be that bad, she just has to lay there and think of Tamiyas :p:p:p:p or is that you? To delay the explosion? Or does it make it worse? ;)

Id be lying if I said I was happy with my photos from the rally, had very little motivation due to the weather and the fact that halfway into the first day dispite being up from the early hours of the morning I had seen a grand total of about 5 cars.

Just a FEW
 

Just a Few no expert ! :thumbsup:

Take it that is Blackpool then?
There was one in Redcar that had got blown over. Full of oil not Mcvities.

THAT IS AWESOME

I need to get to more rallies this year and try and get my dad to let me use his camera.

Thanks! The light actually picked up a little bit for few minutes to let me get some nice colours, it wasnt in an overly idea position but it worked :D

Wow, great pics there Mole2k!:thumbsup: I really liked them:D

How do you manage to get so sharp pics but still got that look that makes the cars go fast? If you know what I mean:rolleyes:

Its quite easy once you get used to it, you basically pan along with the car. Just start to track the car and follow it then hit the shutter button while still tracking the car. Then with the right shutter speed the background will look motion blurred but the car is sharp.

Dude, I was gonna' go over on Saturday and get some pics - I need to re-
think some now.

Bugger.

Mole - is there a name for that effect? Where centre of the image is sharper than the periferal. I know how to get it (pan shots close up) but I don't know why it comes out like that?

Where was that rally business? was it this coming sat? me and vik might go find some of that madness to take some phots

There's a big rally on at the Forest of Dean this weekend, called the Wyedean.

I've never heard of any specific name for it but basically it happens because you are panning so close the angle of the car changes a lot over the length of the shutter duration the only bit that changes the least is the bit that you are tracking as its in the center. It can be used to great effect, if you want to stop it and get the whole car sharp you basically have to use a higher shutter speed or else change so the car will remain at a more constant angle to you during the exposure.

Ripon, but it's Sunday.

please help

wanna upgrade to some think i can take shots of at eden park raceway,my 9mb isnt up to it,this looks capable,someone plaese advise

is the shutter speed and frame rate ok?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fuji-finepix-S...QQcmdZViewItem

uhmm, shutter speed and frame rate don't really matter, the shutter lag is apparently good on that camera - which is important.
Not sure how noise-free the images are - but the focusing won't be blisteringly fast, but that's what pre-focusing is for :)

is it worth it,its got to be than my fujifilm a800? basically from your experience is it capable (if i try)to take similar photos to yours?:) thankyou
