Met up with Mitedo and Oneputt in the forests of Imbil today.

Very dusty and very dark as forests tend to be so I thought what the hell. Bump up the ISO and get the shot or don't get the shot. Easy choice.


ISO 800 1/800s @ f/5.6 (Sigma 180 Macro)


ISO 800 1/1000s @ f/5.6 (Sigma 180 Macro)


ISO 1600 1/640s @ f/4.5 (Sigma 180 Macro)

Bugga.. I missed out again

Some cracker shots there Mark, nice work!

Tim

Framings are superb!! Maybe a bit of PP touches will make them stand out even more!! Well done

Mark great shots well done.

Jeff

Nice shots. PS: Dammit! I didn't know Rally of Qld was on I missed out last year and wanted to go this year, only just got back from Germany

You guys and your secret meetings ...

Nice shots Mark, hope you managed to keep the dust at bay.
In the first shot is that a flash on a tripod on the other side of the road ?
None of the shots seem to suffer from the bump in ISO, you chose well

Mark,
All are excellent!
I love them all, you really don't need the 70-200VR don't you?

great shots... got any more?

and bugger... forgot this was on and would have loved to get up there...

cheers

Thanks Folks. Biggest problem was the dust, played havoc with auto focus so a lot of the time I was using manual.

I've had it in my diary for months as there never seems to be a lot of publicity

I had my Rocket with me so the camera got a good going over before changing lenses back in the car .

I think that it was a timer on the tripod. Had a cable that ran back to one of the marshall's cars.

John was very inconsiderate and was using his 70-200 VR himself Not fair I say Would love one of those babies.

Here are a few more and the rest are HERE

Mark,

That first shot of the Pirtek car is bloody awesome! Very impressed, that's for sure.

Great action shot, colours are superb and sharp as heck.

Love it

Cheers

I was there too...... was at Bus Stop 1 in the late morning, and at Cutters Humps near Bus Stop 2 in the afternoon. In between I spent some time at the asphalt stage at the Service area.

Its a moot point now that the rally is over, but where were your shots taken?

Thanks Michael.

R32, Some were taken at the normal spectator's area, but I had a chat with the local constabulary there who were terrific and took us to one of the restricted areas off Casey's Creek Road. Top spot

wow..the first and second shot on the second lot are great...amazing.

Code: Select all

Alpha_7: In the first shot is that a flash on a tripod on the other side of the road ?

i was wondering the same....maybe it is a speed trap? (speed radar?)
