Some nice shots, is that you with the two girls or your mate ?
Great to get a different perspective of the track from the chopper, was there any track activity when you were flying over ?

Hey Dave, just wanted to thank you for the use of the TC on saturday, helped me reach to places and angles I haven't seen at Clipsal before, unfortunately the results weren't as successful as I had hoped but I guess you learn from your mistakes.
As soon as I get my ass into gear will post some of my own shots from the weekend. It was great to have had the opportunity to catch up with all you guys over the weekend.

Cheers Dan,

YW on the use of the TC which brings on a whole range of challenges once put on the camera. You'll know what the limitations are the next time you use one. Look forward to seeing some of your results.

Is that why you didn't smile and kept your hands to yourself?
So when the wife sees it you can say that you didn't enjoy it

What a great event the Clipsal must have been particularly as Ford won :-)

I must say that I doubt your significant other will worry too much about the pic with the two lovelies....you look way too unhappy with being there. Most of us would have our tongues laying in the grass rather than the "not again look" :lol:

Jeff, sorry was thinking of the wrong post when I replied earlier. It was a great buzz getting up in the chopper.

Craig,
Clipsal was just awsome, an event I will definately be making a return to. As for the "not again look" this shot was taken on the fourth day and by then I think I was well and truely over it :lol:

Cheers Guys
