This guy was the only one not from scandinavia

He was from Luxemburg i think

[hushed siren]

Were you not out on the track?

[thorny sun]

What do you mean?

[hushed siren]

Photographing on the trac

[thorny sun]

When they were driving on the track?

I did photograph them there

[thorny sun]

Do you mean like photographing while they were racing

[hushed siren]

Yes

[thorny sun]

I did but 55mm is hell

[hushed siren]

Is that from the roof?

[thorny sun]

Nope it was right after the tunnel

But i was on the roof

Just didnt get great focus

@hushed siren ^

It was actually a good spot on the roof

[hushed siren]

Ah nice

Oh yeah

[hushed siren]

Oh nice i didnt take a picture of this but i filmed it i think

[hushed siren]

It was my first time shooting like this too, so dont expect much

never been out on the track like this before

But it was, alright. Its not for me though

Goes way too fast

[thorny sun]

Those hot rods or whatever they are. Are so damn quick

Like it goes 0-100 in some secondss

[hushed siren]

They are so cheap aswell, there's 60 of them I think

[thorny sun]

Yea

[thorny sun]

I love the radicals

And v8 thunder cars

If only i had a longer lens

Atleast I got this picture

[hushed siren]

Radicals were pretty boring 🙈

[thorny sun]

I mean

They are cool

[thorny sun]

But v8 thunder cars were cooler

What are these called

Like what car brand

[hushed siren]

They were all pretty boring, the same car like 500 times

So boring

[hushed siren]

Gebhart Ginetta or whatever

[thorny sun]

Hm interesting

Flames were coming out of them

Alot

They do make pops and bangs alot

From the exhaust

[hushed siren]

Yes

[thorny sun]

This picture is so gold

Good

I have a pic of this one

But not a Rolling shot

[thorny sun]

Damn

Thats actually so good

[hushed siren]

Mja

It's okay

[thorny sun]

Man

Its great

[thorny sun]

Looks cool

@hushed siren i think this is okay for a 55mm but i kept missing so much focus

[tiny venture]

God forbid a man supports both teams lmao

[tiny venture]

Crop in and it's pretty cool

[tiny venture]

Bit underexposed and you've shot a bit low so try move the cars into the centre of the frame

[rich dagger]

Are these can am cars?

[tiny venture]

theyre called trans am

[rich dagger]

oh that's right

[amber vapor]

We're Soo cooked

[tiny venture]

hey i think we won a game recently

i gave up on man u

atleast in f1 i like other drivers

[thorny sun]

Probably they are called the v8 thunder cars

[thorny sun]

If i shot a little bit lower the fence would be in the way

Also

I shot on a 55mm which is hell and it kept missing focus

I need a new lens soon or camera

[hushed siren]

🤷‍♂️

All I know is that they're called V8 Thunder Cars

[rich dagger]

[crimson bison]

osama bin russell

[thorny sun]

@hushed siren you got any favourite shots from the race?

Ring knutstorp newsrace

[thorny sun]

These are really good!

Which lens?

[hushed siren]

150-600

[thorny sun]

Ah 150-600

100-400mm looks good tbh

For a canon r50

But damn cameras are expensive

[hushed siren]

They are

[thorny sun]

Yeaa

The sony A7R like the normal R no numbers has 32 megapixels?

But many people hate it on youtube

Seems like it isnt good but i hate sony screens

They tilt up

Anyways @hushed siren i think my favourite shot is this

I think i shot this after the orange car did a crazy overtake

And it looked like number 74 outlapped everyone by 2 laps

Which i think he did

[hushed siren]

A bit dark but yeah

[thorny sun]

I turned the högdragar down alot but do i turn up the brightness?

[hushed siren]

Testa dig själv frammåt

[thorny sun]

@hushed siren I got this picture but out of focus just a bit

Its actually shit tbh

[hushed siren]

Its kinda shit yeah

Along that wall is where I stood

[thorny sun]

Yeah the fences were low here

[thorny sun]

I wish I had a bigger lena

Lens

I wonder how a ef 55-250mm would do on a 1000d

[hushed siren]

I meant the wall you see in the picture

[thorny sun]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thinking-monkey-thinking-think-money-gif-9734025314392564509

[hushed siren]

I was on the track

[hushed siren]

Pretty okay

[thorny sun]

How did you get there

[hushed siren]

Press pass

[thorny sun]

Media pass?

[hushed siren]

yes

[thorny sun]

Ah

Nice nice

Anyways

These cars are soooo small

They are tiny

[tiny venture]

bro clearly hasnt seen these fuckers

[rich dagger]

Whatever that is i want that

[tiny venture]

Aussie racing cars

basically a plastic shell over an engine

[rich dagger]

Well you live in melbourne so i knew that part

[tiny venture]

thats literally the name google it

damn fun cars

[rich dagger]

Very funny

Get it

[rich dagger]

i’m a little sped i just realised that’s what you meant after furiously googling for 5 minutes

Jesus

Aussie racing cars is a very very poor name for a race series

[tiny venture]

lmao

nah its sick as

[rich dagger]

It’s a fun concept

[thorny sun]

Those are tiny

[thorny sun]

@hushed siren

If only the fence wasnt there.....

Interesting spot to stand up

I need to stand up a bit higher to get a rear shot

Otherwise it was not possible

[thorny sun]

Tried getting chatgpt to remove the fence and uhhh yeah it went so bad that the lights are gone in the front or so called stickers

[vagrant dew]

chatgpt isnt great for this kind of stuff

[thorny sun]

Yeah i know but i dont have lightroom premium and im on a phone

[thorny sun]

I dont have anyone either to do it

So yeah

[hushed siren]

fence

[thorny sun]

Yes

[thorny sun]

Theres 99

If only i could remove the fence but i dont have LR premium

[rich dagger]

Hmmm

Should try panning

[rich dagger]

Motion blur might make the fence less noticeable

[thorny sun]

I mean can you fix that in lightroom

I did try ai to remove it like chatgpt but it removed the lights and the wing....

[rich dagger]

Nah

But i mean for next time

Because the car is also blurred in the frame

[thorny sun]

I tried to get the right focus

This one was okay

[rich dagger]

It’s not focus

[thorny sun]

What is it then

[rich dagger]

Motion blur

The car moves across the frame

[thorny sun]

ah

[rich dagger]

You have to track it by panning your camera so that the car is in the same spot relative to the frame

Blurring the background instead of the car

[tiny venture]

see that middle line across the car, the one thats horizontal

if you pan, that will still be in the photo so try keepthe mostly out of the frame

All of these are shot through a fence

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture tomorrow

Qualifying

[tiny venture]

I'm hype

[crimson bison]

Honestly idk if im gonna go tomorrow

Its 1am and im tired and tomorrow is just fp3 and quali

[tiny venture]

go if you have the energy

itll be good

[thorny sun]

I love those

Which lens?

[tiny venture]

canon ef 70-300

first gen lol

gotta get that g2 soon lol

[thorny sun]

How much do those cost?

[tiny venture]

its a pretty bad lens

the CA is horrif

[thorny sun]

Oh?

Ah

What about the canon ef 55-200?

[tiny venture]

55-250 stm is amazing

[thorny sun]

I swear canon made a ef/efs 55-250

[tiny venture]

af is apparently mid at 250 but thats whatever

[thorny sun]

But theres only the 55-200 on mpb

[tiny venture]

they make a 55-250 stm

[thorny sun]

Yeah

[thorny sun]

I was looking at those

Might want one when i get a new camera

They seem good

The first long zoom lens someone recommended to me

@tiny venture is it the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM”

[tiny venture]

yes

[thorny sun]

Hm they are pretty cheap tho

On mpb of course

[tiny venture]

theyre very good

[thorny sun]

Only 200 euros

[thorny sun]

I do want one but im afraid it wont work great on a canon 1000d

[tiny venture]

lens > body

[thorny sun]

Yeah ill look into this

[thorny sun]

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM” is a old lens but it is good

I think its from around 2013 ish?

[tiny venture]

yeah

i want one but i think id rather buy a 70-200 lol

[thorny sun]

Is the 70-200 one of those lens that are white?

[tiny venture]

yes

[thorny sun]

Oh those

How much?

[tiny venture]

about 1k aud

for a g2

or 1.5k for a is II

[thorny sun]

Hm thats alot

I think around 800$

[tiny venture]

iits worth it for me tho

[thorny sun]

Yeah

I think 300AUD is 150USD

So the lens is around 800 USD

[tiny venture]

give or take a few ye

[thorny sun]

Yep

Im kinda close to a racetrack in sweden

About 1 hour 40 away

Its actually a really great track since you have many many spots for free to take pictures from

You can take pictures from the roof like in this picture

Dont mind the shit picture...

And entry was 20$

[tiny venture]

thats a good spot

i get free access to most events now that im media accredited

[thorny sun]

Yeah just a bit tight

Like your close to the tent where you can sit inside

And its very high up

For me atleast

I got my favourite shot here

This not the best but i love it

[tiny venture]

this ones prolly my all time fav photo

[thorny sun]

Yeah i saw it in your portfolio

[crimson bison]

thing is we paid for the 3 day ticket for me so if i dont go today my dad will be pissed

Oh my god bruh

My dad bought parking and his ticket for today and not tomorrow

[thorny sun]

@tiny venture this is a great deal

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture rain on the forecast👀

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture gotsome pics but too rainy to keep the cam out

[crimson bison]

This mclaren spun out twice in a row😭

🤤🤤🤤

[crimson bison]

My top 3 sounding hypercars were the aston caddy and alpine

[tiny venture]

me last year at sandown 500 lmao

i need the r6ii before the end of the year for the weather sealing

or at the least the weather sealed lenses back

cause i have rain covers for my professional work

[crimson bison]

I had a plastic bag so I got some pics

Im gonna make a home made rain cover for tomorrow

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture what editing program should i use

thats free

[tiny venture]

you can use lightroom mobile

i can also play around with some of your raws for you if youd like

[crimson bison]

i was shooting in jpeg

[tiny venture]

editing JPEgs is really iffy

try shoot in raw +jpeg if anything

[crimson bison]

i just need something that can crop without reducing quality too much

[tiny venture]

is that the full res?

[crimson bison]

yes

[tiny venture]

interesting

[crimson bison]

i had my shutter too low at first which sucks

[tiny venture]

what jpeg quality is tht

[tiny venture]

that shouldnt be so bad then hmm

[crimson bison]

i tried cropping with the windows photos app tool at it took the image which i didnt crop that much and made it like 800kb😭

this isnt full res

[tiny venture]

the windows photo app is app

very pixelated hmm

make sure your jpeg settings are set to jpeg large

but maybe tmmr shoot with raw + jpeg and ill play around with the raws

[crimson bison]

they should be

it is set to jpeg large

ill shoot in raw+jpeg tho

[tiny venture]

raw will automatically be the full res of the sensor

[crimson bison]

huh

that so weird jpeg large is set to this weird resolution on this cam

[tiny venture]

so youll be able to zoom in a fuck ton

[crimson bison]

nm thats why

the cam was in 4:3 and not 3:2

[tiny venture]

ah

3:2 my goart

[crimson bison]

i like this pic

tomorrow i can get real cool pics if i sit in the same spot

[tiny venture]

you can pan from there if you want

try opening the aperture wider

[thorny sun]

@hushed siren when you were at ring knutstorp did you see the bmws that were drifting? Behind them or far away there was a m3 or m4 CSL which is kinda crazy

[crimson bison]

i was just shooting in tv mode

i didnt want to keep my camera up in the rain for too long

[thorny sun]

But the m4cs was visible it was beside all the other bmws on the grass

[tiny venture]

fair

i always shoot full manual with auto iso

[hushed siren]

nope

[thorny sun]

Pfp is fire

[tiny venture]

i find that keeps it exposed nicely and lets me control the bokeh nicely

[thorny sun]

Is that you

Klyftis?

Oh yeah its like 1 am in 8 minutes

[crimson bison]

there was a group of 4 m3s sprinting around the track before the actual events started

[tiny venture]

yeah thats a weird low res

also whats the lens +iso

[crimson bison]

i wish my school had higher zoom lens

i am using a 70-200mm 2.8 lens

[tiny venture]

on the r10 thats fine

first gen tho?

[crimson bison]

i think i had my iso set to 1600

[thorny sun]

M3s i love those

Got a ride in one

Best experience

[crimson bison]

idk

theres multiple gens of r10s?

[tiny venture]

no the lens

[crimson bison]

i think its a older one

it was already on the camera when i grabbed it

its the smallest lens of its type that we have

and it was on one of the newer r10s we have

L IS II USM

[tiny venture]

damn

thats the good one

[crimson bison]

nice

[tiny venture]

that should be perfectly sharp

[crimson bison]

it is

[tiny venture]

so its your camera settings leading to the low res

[crimson bison]

low res?

[tiny venture]

make sure the lens and sensor are clean and shoot raw

all the photos youve sent have been obectively low quality in terms of the filke

[crimson bison]

i think its a combo of the iso rain and slightly lower resolution

[tiny venture]

you can shoot in CRAW + jpeg large

yeah make sure that iso is on auto and try shoot manual next time

[crimson bison]

how do i turn on auto iso

[tiny venture]

just get the aperture and shutter speed right and let the cam do the rest

click on the iso and drag it all the way to the left

[crimson bison]

ah

aight

idk what i was thinking bro 1/100 😭

[tiny venture]

i shoot anything between 1/3 to 1/1250

1/600 is like minimum for keeping race cars sharp

[crimson bison]

yeah i went up to 1250

[tiny venture]

you can open the aperture wider

god even to 2.8

get and keep that iso down

[crimson bison]

i was shooting in tv mode

auto aperature

[tiny venture]

yeah this is why i shoot full manual

[crimson bison]

man what really sucks

[tiny venture]

otherwise every photo is vastly difference

[crimson bison]

my dad cant go with me tomorrow

[tiny venture]

aw man

[crimson bison]

he accidentally bought his ticket for today

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture ive got a cardboard box duct tape plastic bags and cling wrap im about to construct the greatest rain guard of all time

[tiny venture]

i have faith

i bought mine because i need it to work properly every time

[crimson bison]

It's beautiful

@tiny venture

it's reuseable as well

the lens just slides through the plastic bag handle

[tiny venture]

why bother

the lens is weather sealed

just protect the bodyt

[crimson bison]

i didn't know

until now when you just told me

too late

[tiny venture]

lmao

[crimson bison]

i have another plastic bag actually

ill just protect the body

less embarrasing

[tiny venture]

yeah do it lol

[crimson bison]

@tiny venture lets fucking go bro

my dad bought a ticket for tomorrow\

[crimson bison]

thanks for informing me about my lens

new and improved

[tiny venture]

much better

should be fine now

[crimson bison]

i wonder who will win the race

it couldn't be another ferrari domination

that could NEVER happen

[glad wharf]

My car in los santos customs 🔥🔥

[rich dagger]

THE NONDESCRIPT POS 🔥

[amber vapor]

peak rain coat

[thorny sun]

Guys when i missed the countach last weekend i also missed a murcielago too💔

It was there a day before

Holy unlucky

[earnest lark]

That sucks

the murcielago is my dream car

tho its unpractical but like who cares

[thorny sun]

I already saw one but yeah

[earnest lark]

ive seen 3 murcis myself

All in dealers/ car meets tho

[thorny sun]

Ah

I saw a wild countach

Drove past me

[earnest lark]

Theres a 1/1 murcielago in my local dealer

[earnest lark]

thats insane

[earnest lark]

has some custom spoiler that isnt an option on the murcielago fitted on it in factory

apparently its the only one with the spoiler like that

[thorny sun]

I saw the new and old one

I have pictures of both

But the second old countach no pictures

[earnest lark]

dayum

[earnest lark]

Heres the spoiler

you can try to translate that

if you want to

its not exactly right but you get what its meant to mean

[rich dagger]

Mmm yes

Only ever murci with a fixed wing kek

[earnest lark]

yes

[earnest lark]

i mean it sounds about right because if you Look up murcielago pics from anywhere you will not see a one with a fixed wing exept this one

[earnest lark]

different model

thats a sv

[rich dagger]

Gimme a sec

[earnest lark]

aigtt

[rich dagger]

Veilside murci

Probably based on a base murci

[earnest lark]

its the only murcielago that isnt an sv or tuned that has a fixed wing

[rich dagger]

There is no base murci that came from the factory with a wing

But there’s always people putting one on

[earnest lark]

it was a custom request from the guy who originally bought it

[earnest lark]

probably some long time customer of Lamborghini so hes spoiled with being able to ask custom requests

[rich dagger]

Eh

Maybe

Might be factory then

[earnest lark]

yeah

its a really trusted dealer soo

[earnest lark]

thats a hamann soo

[earnest lark]

this aint fixed

[rich dagger]

Tf do you mean it’s not fixed

Found that dudes exact wing

[earnest lark]

dang

well a Factory option it wasnt anyways

thats for sure

[rich dagger]

An above average aftermarket wing

But i’m decently sure not factory

Either way

Wish i could afford a murci lol

[earnest lark]

same

a dream car of mine

[rich dagger]

Lmao come to thibk of it same wing here too

[earnest lark]

BAJAHAHSHSAHHAAHAHAHAHAH

now im starting to feel its a one of one with that same gray and the wing or smth

would make sense tbf

[crimson bison]

My dad used to have the same hyundai as you

[coral grove]

is panamera considered a nice family car

[crimson bison]

Just saw a convoy of 3 gt3s and a gt4rs

bent

[hushed siren]

thanks man

[hushed siren]

no lol

[crimson bison]

It's pouring outside

I hope it calms down so I can use my cam

[crimson bison]

Wow

Theres so much rain the race has started under safety car

[earnest lark]

Should i get a sigma 18-50 2.8 or a 30mm 1.8 as a only lens for the a6000

im thinking about the 18-50 since its obviously a lot more versatile but is a bit out of budget (200€ out of budget)

sent it here cuz its for automotive photography obviously so yeah

[crimson bison]

#20 bmw hyper has been retired

[crimson bison]

Wow

Red flag and the cars are parked on the grid with covers on

[crimson bison]

Big crash between aston and alpine

[tiny venture]

18-50 every day of the week

It's more than sharp enough, and zoom I find to be so much better for motorsport than primes

It's a bit different with me cause I know the focal lengths I need but generally in motorsport and regular vehicle photography you'll want a zoom lens

This race is interesting

[crimson bison]

Just left the race

Weather got too bad

It doesn't rain since july and then it just happens to start pouring at the race

[tiny venture]

Well you missed the Toyota's going off at your corner

[crimson bison]

I did get about 300 pics

[crimson bison]

Bro

😭😭😭

[tiny venture]

The number 7

Now it's stuck

Will be a safety car

He's in a pretty dangerous spot

[crimson bison]

Dude the first hour of the race was sc

And then after that hour red flagged

They parked the cars on the grid and covered them for like 20 min

[tiny venture]

Lmao the windscreen wiper flew off the caddy

[crimson bison]

The caddys are awesome every time they drive by

[tiny venture]

This is a race better watched at home I think

[crimson bison]

They rumble the stands

[tiny venture]

Try being right next to the porches Carrera cup cars

Fuck those actually hurt without ear protection

You feel it in your heart

[crimson bison]

Dude walking back to the car

I was next to the main straight

[tiny venture]

Oof

[crimson bison]

I heard a valk screaming down it

🤤

They sound so amazing

[tiny venture]

Oh godamn they do

There's talks of a WEC race in Australia, and the track they're suggesting is fucking amazing

6 hours of the bend would be amazingggg

[crimson bison]

My 3 favorite sounding hypers were the 1. Valk 2. Caddy 3. Alpine

The alpine is the only actually cool sounding v6

The turbos on it are super loud

[tiny venture]

Yeah I love the turbos

I'm back at Sandown at the end of the year shooting the V8 supercars

Literally 3 days after my last exam ever I'm going straight into more photos

[crimson bison]

Yeah I could not do 2 more hours of this rain

[tiny venture]

up the iron dames

True

[crimson bison]

You would expect it to be sunny and dry being here in texas

[tiny venture]

I did it last year at the Sandown 500, bucketing rain for an entire day

Got hypothermia just about

And this year on race day at the F1 it bucketed and we were in the rain all day

[crimson bison]

Ill get actual pics off my cam when I get home

[tiny venture]

Did you shoot raw?

[crimson bison]

Yes

CRaw + jpeg large

[tiny venture]

yes please
