My take on Croft - RSOC Day

Yes some more from the RS Owners Club weekend.

As Geoff has already posted some fantastic shots I though I would not try to compete and just post some that caught my eye. On the whole the drivers were very well bahaved trying to take the correct line which made it fairly boring. Some did try that bit harder which made it all the more interesting.

As Geoff said, what made the weekend for me was being allowed trackside. One thing that made us laugh was trying to get the high viz flashes on.

So to the photos, not the best I know thats why they are only 640x480

Congratulations on getting trackside Peter, I think the one of Gallagher drifting around Hawthorn is the best of the bunch, pity he didn't bring his proper one

Cheers

I was very excited about being allowed on hallowed ground

He spend most of the day either drifting or fixing the cars

Me too and unlike some people we could name we got there honestly and with the permission of the circuit

Some nice stuff there Peter with Gallacher's loopy Focus and the X-pack RS 2000 being my favourites.

A black RS 2000 with that kit was my dream car when i was a kid

And the stuff you came home with blows that particular persons shots into the weeds.

Simno.

Not so sure about this selection Peter. The framing on some of them is not quite there.

That said, the two shots of Gallagher's Focus are pretty darn good.

I know Simon, I did not want to post a typical 3/4 style shot that I had spent a lot of time on. I just wanted to pop somit on the forum.

To be honest, I take my hat off to you pros. I have over 1000 photos to go thro and when i decided to post on the forum I was sick of looking at them

How do you guys do it?

Last photo for me matey...

To be honest, it's mainly about getting everything right in camera at the point of hitting the shutter, so that the adjustments are very, very minimal. You also sharp learn to be a bit selective in what you shoot .
