John, is that link good, because I keep getting something other than a direct link to your video. Some wierd arse, general, resent history Youtube page. It no workie for me.

Same here. Link def doesnt go to a single video.

Weird. It's fine for me but I'll check it from a PC as the post was written on an iPhone.

Youtube links need to be from the desktop version

Here you go

Cheers mate. Original now edited. That'll teach me to try to do in on a phone .

Some fancy filming and driving btw, enjoyed that. That's not too far from me, think i'll stop by and check it out one day.

They have a junior league every Sunday morning. If you are going along drop me a line and we could meet up and do some two camera stuff for a laugh.

Ok man sounds like a plan will definitely do that

That's a great video with lots of action and fun!

Share with us some of your specs for shooting this.
Was this video all from one race or was this a mix or different heats?
What were your settings? SS/f-stop/ISO
And what lens did you use to get most of the action shots?
Handheld on your rig or off of sticks/mono-pod?

Again, really cool stuff.
And the music was really well chosen for this type of video/action.

Crumbs, what can I remember?

The event was a number of races which gave the opportunity to relocate and test different positions. The second half was all of the final race so from one spot.

All shot at 60 fps to give latitude for the slo mo stuff as it was rendered out at 25 fps. All shot on tripod with fluid head (501HDV) and viewed through a loupe. Shot with 100-400 1:4.5-5.6L (second half) or 70-200 2.8L for the first half. I tried to shut down as much as possible to retain DoF but it was a nasty flat dull day so didn't get much smaller than f:8 ISO 400 1/120 sec.

Post I tweaked exposure and upped the contrast a gnats and added the graduated band at the top Top Gear stylee. I need to sort that as, so far I only found a cut out add in which I gave full feather opened up and moved down. I would prefer something which gives me more control on the graduation. Also added a whisker of sharpening.

I think that about sums it up.

Great video!
