coty061885 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 What a good time today was. Rain stayed away (leaving many people unguarded against sunburn haha), temps were just right, it was a blast. Plus, I got my first trophy! It was cool meeting more new people, too. Here's hoping events 2 and 3 get moved to a decent date so I can attend them.

Aesthetic_Influx Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Congrats on the trophy Coty - damned impressive driving. I'm beat after today, but it was well worth it. The best part was talking Mark (1fynzx) into his first AutoX race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Glad the rain stayed away I thought at first it would be better to run in the morning, but that idea turned out to be wrong haha. Nice to meet a couple of you out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Good time today. I liked the track as I could put down the power in a few areas and have some fun, I had hoped the rear would slide a little more but it wants to hop instead!! Time to get some things on the car to help that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Rich. I was stoked when the dealer called and said he found the Sonic Blue, it's the ideal color scheme I wanted and the car has realtively low miles. Subframe connecters are on their way, next will be the rear grip pack that replaces the panhard and some things, it's supposed to help out a lot.

1fynz Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 It was definitely a good time - nice meeting everyone in person for the first time too. +1. Im addicted, now if I could just figure out how to drive my car a little better! Mrautox, I was taking pics the first heat but unfortunately none of your car turned out well at all. Hopefully I can get some at the next few meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to make the next local meets on campus and would be happy to help with the pic taking. Key to panning is it just takes practice. A nice 1/160th to 1/200 shutter speed is perfect.

Aesthetic_Influx Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'll post up some pics that one of my friends took while we were on the course. I'm just cutting them down from 800 -> 170, and then doing some color correction on a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Pat, if you were driving while asleep that would be worth taking a picture of!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Sweet! Ill get up a few of my good ones. Heres just a few. I really sucked up the panning shots, just need some more practice. Don't be hard on yourself. Panning takes practice. If you have a lens with Stabilization that supports panning mode, make sure it's engaged. If it doesn't support mode 2, turn it off. If it doesn't have it at all, a monopod will help. Especially since ideally you want slower shutter speeds of say 1/160-1/200. Even slower if you can keep it still works awesome. Check your metering too. Make sure you keep the exposure in line. A nice way to do it when panning is to set the camera to focus with the * button or Dedicated AutoFocus button if you have one. Then set the shutter for metering. This way as you pan across a scene tracking a car, if glare or exposure/lighting changes, the camera will too. Otherwise, your exposure is locked onto the car when you first depress the button. I'll be happy to help at the next meet. I'll make a local turnout when the meet is there. Promise to be careful and you can use one of my lenses. I have the 100-400L and 70-200L and may have a new toy by the next event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReddyZ06 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Sucks that Reddy left before our heat. I was hoping to see his pictures on top of the ones already available. Actually, I did not leave but I was running third heat. Bill got some nice photos of the third heat though. http://www.incom-racing.com/images/gallery...2009/index.html Mike Well, that link didn't work let's try this: http://www.autocrossforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7071 Edited May 5, 2009 by ReddyZ06 bad link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
