Didn't get the old Volvo along this time - popped turbo. See you all next year!

The both galleries for Saturday and Sunday are here - as always Brian has concentrated on getting the action frozen whereas I've added the feeling of speed.

Whoever did Sunday - assumed you?

I like the fact that you captured the Monza in a few shots from it's best side (springs compressed side rather than big arch clearances side)

Some good pics of the "organ donors" too

Thanks, it's a steep learning curve...

Was a good day on Sunday, really enjoyed it! I don't know if Brian did say when he did the cheque presentation on Saturday but a really big thanks to everyone for all of your support for the fund raising through buying prints and digital files.

I'm waiting for the digital files sale to be announced

Okay, what's a good price for a digital image in high resolution (Print) or low resolution (Facebook, etc..)? Was thinking of something like this...

1. The person e-mails me at [e-mail] stating what file numbers they'd like
2. I send a PayPal invoice to the e-mail from which the e-mail was sent (They wouldn't even need a PayPal account)
3. When confirmation received from PayPal the images would be e-mailed through.

The only thing I do not have is a price... open to the floor: maybe £5 for a high resolution image and £3.00 low resolution. Would send a CD but it means me buying CDs, paying for postage, having to burn CDs and general paperwork.

Prices sound spot on to me.

I'm about to start editing a video of the day, but does anyone know the names of the corners? I know about piano keys but thats about it...all will become clear in the final edit (hopefully)

[SnapperLad]

Okay - it's sorted then.

If anyone would like digital files instead of prints then please send me an e-mail to: [e-mail] with the following info:

1. Your name
2. E-mail address you'd like the files sent to
3. Which photographer
4. Image numbers (in brackets next to each put (H) for high res or (L) for low res)
5. Total donation (£5 for each high resolution or £3 for low)

A PayPal request will then be sent to you - no PayPal account required. As soon as confirmation is received will e-mail you the images you require.

I've said it before but I'll say it again - thanks on behalf of the RAF Charities for all of your continuing support. Will stop hijacking this thread now.. sorry about that.

Will there be more photos available than what was in those two albums? What happened to the ones taken from the back of the Astra for example?

[SnapperLad]

On what day and what car are you looking for?

[Mark in Ireland]

Can I just ask a question regarding the purchasing of photos. What is the difference in funds collected by the new system, of paying for each photo and what was in place before, pay £10 up front and get a cd sent a couple of months later but with 1000 images of everyones car?
I personally won't buy a single print as I have photos of my car at most tracks in the country and it always seems to look the same...yes, still silver, going round a corner etc.....BUT, I'd pay £10 upfront all the time to get images of everyone elses car on a cd so I can use it as a picture show or screen saver on my pc at work.

Personally, it's the amount of work. I don't use CDs so I'd have to go out to buy some, buy packaging, pay postage and then get to a post office to send it... I live out in a very rural area, work full time 10 hours a day and run a photography business when not in work + family commitments.

The weekend of the trackday I always turn down work (alot of work this time!).. But hey, it's for a worthy cause!!

Last reason is that if we send all images then chances are that in 5 minutes they'll be all over the forums and no one would bother donating as they could download 'em for free!

If you do want a CD I've got nothing against burning a disk but the cost would be a bit more than £10
