RRG21 Photo Sharing

[Flingstam]

Hey y'all,

I thought I'd kick this off, as there were many amateur photographers around yesterday, so anyone looking for a particular image of their car on the field or on the hill can have a better chance of finding it. 

Just so nobody thinks their photos aren't good enough, I should explain that although I was using a good quality digital camera, I'm very rusty using it and didn't do any preparation or post-processing. If you want a really good picture of your car, best to recruit a professional. Due to the above, my photos on the hill in the late afternoon varied from this:



to this:



A very short depth of field meant that it was a lottery which part of the car was in focus, even when I did some panning shots. Still, it doesn't look like the cars are moving slowly, so that's good. 



Believe it or not, I deleted 30 photos which were so out of focus they made my eyes go funny. 

The remainder can be found in the below album on Flickr. Feel free to reference any images of your car wherever you like. As I made clear, these images have no material value...

That album also includes a few select cars I photographed on the field and in the paddock, which were more successfully captured.

Here’s my snaps from yesterday. Nothing from the hill as I was too busy just watching that, but a random few from around the paddock/club stands. Unfortunately nothing more than iPhone snaps as I wasn’t in the mood for anything more! Enjoy!

I’ve given up on dragging a DSLR around with me now, all these were taken on a £250 pocket LUMIX super zoom compact.

Ace I’ve got a picture of my SLK on the hill

Shelsley staff were a bit concerned - the gamekeeper had phoned it in (clearly on EE network) and concerns were raised about the lack of medical cover so in order to resolve the concerns I had to shoot up the hill and ensure that the start point was not too steep.

Some negotiation took place and a more sensible point (ie not the finish line) was chosen (mainly because the road is an access road to a farm and the farmer was out for the evening.

I then acted as a medical car in case of serious injury and as a course car to gently usher their return to level ground.

I could then leave the winners to their ceremony on the podium and go and finish my beer happy that a near death experience had been avoided

That's very kind of you. If you managed to catch my boring Carina (Number 22, morning session), J223VEV, I'd be very grateful of a pic.

Am sorry but I don't seem to have caught you on the hill

No but I was expecting that to go up the hill at lunch as it was in the paddock - Did the tractor break down?

The picnic bench was with us. Thanks for pulling us about 😁

I've got some video of you pulling us, it's mainly us drunken cheering and knocking the picnic bench in to gear 😆

Maybe it’s just me but a tractor with extreme aero (front end splitters etc and rear end diffuser like a mental hill climb car - done with either alloy or cardboard) would raise some laughs and would be very acceptable
