At Snetterton today for the AMOC MESC meet.
One picture I am very very pleased with...

Straight off the camera. No crop. No editing.
Taken with EOS 300D, 70-200mm L IS USM, 2x Extender
Said Exige rather cocked up that corner and had to go grass cutting :D

I also prefer the second pic.
Actually it wasn't me going off into the cat litter (although it has been known - some of you have obviously been on track with me and know my driving style!)
In the pic ...there was a tussle going on between a PH'r (Andy W) and another in the Mini Cooper challenge. The other decided the best way to the pits was straight across - avoiding the hassle of Luffield, and the bother of overtaking Andy.
PS... sorry for the semi thread hi-jack Joust.... so to get back to yours: Snetterton is one of the few tracks I've never been on - is it worth the long trip? Realistically it would probably be in a Noble or Seven. Only seen it once on Touring cars - difficult to tell as they are all completely mad.

On balance, I'd probably say it's worth the leg. Noble would like it a lot, Caterham might get a bit boring (not sure) by the fact that it's just lots and lots of straights.
It's not actually that far - it was just over 2 hours door to door, which isn't really much different than Bedford...

A Gallery of the Mid-Engined Sportscar race from Tap and I can be found at our website : clicky!....enjoy! We even have our tsuphoto.com logo on one of the cars now...cheers Russ
In answer to GetCarter's question - I have never driven at Snett but think it would be fun in either car. The Esses look quite fun and the back section (Corum/Chorum) is really fast. Should really leave the camera at home and get out there with the Exige for a trackday instead
Edited to say - I chatted very briefly at the Chicane with a PH'er who arrived in a Noble (3R I think). I don't think it was Joust though - it had a GTO number plate.

The GTO plate is to fool everyone - it's an M400, but just to confuse everyone it's the same colour as my previous M12 and I moved the plate over.
Nice to meet you. Very nice pictures - puts mine to a bit of shame.
Could I ask - did you shot them in raw or JPEG, and did you sharpen them afterwards?

We shoot in RAW. The full workflow is:
1) Shoot RAW
2) Develop in RAW Shooter Essentials - changing exposure, highlight and shadow contrast - use RAW shooter's default sharpening - touch of extra saturation.
3) Crop, slight adjustments to white balance and a minor amount of sharpening in photoshop to get back the sharpness lost in the resize.

Ah - interesting.
Thanks for that. I've settled on CS2's raw workflow as it "fits" the way I work a bit better.
Thanks for the hints on the sharpening - I wondered why some of mine weren't so "crisp" as yours - it makes a huge difference!
Do you use unsharp mask or one of the others?
(sorry for all the questions!)
