I went down to Laguna Seca late last month to check out the Speed Ventures track day and Radical Sports car and EXR races. I took a bunch of photos digitally (to be posted shortly), but also brought along a new-to-me old film SLR; a Nikon F-801s. I thought this was supposed to AF with all of my Nikkor lenses, but it wouldn't work for me; so pardon some missed-focus shots; I had to do it manually. If R1 is in the image name, it was taken on Agfa Photo Vista 200; R2 was Ektar 100. Taken with one of the following lenses:
Nikon 24mm f/1.8G
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II
Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR I
Most of these could be improved in Lightroom or whatever, and I may do that eventually, but I'm posting these raw scans as-is, because that was the point of shooting the film for me, and I'm spending plenty of time in LR for the digital photos anyway. ^_^
Something else. Its not very easy to tell whats going one here, but I still like the picture.
I used the slightly damaged container from the previous photo to do another, deeper pellet. Used a flat topped pellet to get a bigger wake, which I got.
I also got this fever dream of color. Even blue, which confused me till I realized that it was one of the rags I put around the setup to catch the water.
You can see the pellet. theer is even a bubble of air(?) trapped in the wake.
A wild photo. I'm really going to have to figure out what the bleep I'm doing.
This picture makes me realize I've got a fine flash instrument here,which I mostly use to pound nails.
Tried a few shots at some camellia buds. OK enough.
After this, I tried some other shots which all failed due to triggering problems. Got me all pissed off, wasting shots.
It once again looks like crud getting under and around the SD5600 opto-schmidt triggers on the CameraAxe projectile sensor.
Me and my messy ways.
I am really going to have to slime proof this set-up.
I took this photograph at Mc Lean's corner during the Invited Pre-1961 Sports & GT Cars Race at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011. It's Ned Spieker in his 1948 Frazer Nash High Speed leading the 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 of James Campbell. The Frazer Nash, which is chassis 421/100/004, has a 2-litre Bristol engine and was originally delivered to a Frantisek Dobry of Czechoslovakia in December 1948. After Harold Adlington and Norman Culpan finished in third place at the 1949 Le Mans 24 Hour race in Frazer Nash High Speed chassis 421/100/008 subsequent cars were known as Frazer Nash Le Mans models.
The jig you use is just a hub. Take your time and get them as straight as possible before you tack weld them into the frame.
While the upload speed is a bit painful, the new Telus/Bell HSPA network strikes me as awfully fast for mobile download speeds. Tethering is going to be great. These are all things I never thought I'd say about mobile in Canada.
