FOS 2009 - Pics and Stories

[School boy]

Great day went Saturday, only thing is you can't see it all in one day!





Seems like everyone has a photo of that car from the same angle so here's on ein a different style.


This sums up Goodwood for me, they calmly push cars through the crowd, trusting people, not having to hold them back. As soon a I got there the John Player Special was driving towards me along those metal walkways. A few minutes later I nearly got run over by the current F1 Ferrari being pushed along. It's such a great relaxed environment. (Sorry for the poor focus, had 300mm lens on that doesn't have auto focus!)


A true Gent.


What a machine, what a noise! Had to adjust back to car loving after that, they seemed so trivial comapred to it!






Not the best picture but the semi-famous Bugatti, owned by that Doctor,untouched for decades. A fortune.




The Cummins stand.

I had so much fun on Friday, I thought I'd go back on Sunday...

Lanica Fulvia HF deep into the forest stage


They won't see anything from there: fans admire building rooftops from air


Williams brought nearly the entire back catalogue of greatest hits: Alan Jones in FW07


You can stuff yer namby pamby WRC. This is how rallying should look


Lola Aston stands in as temporary crowd control


Nothing goes sideways like a Mk1...


...except a Mk2


Artery Fartery


A heart stopping moment for Mr. James and some nearby marshalls...


...but it's not over yet: Trophy Truck disregards instruction to turn right

[School boy]

Haha what rediculous suspension that thing has
Good shots you've got there, what have you done to get those tones that transform the picture? Mine look a bit holiday snap-ish.

A smidgin of Photoshop - you have a D60, images should sparkle!

[School boy]

Wow that's much better! Thanks very much
How could you tell I had a D60? haha

[CivicMan]

All in the EXIF data! Pic taken on Sat 4th at 11.16am. 1/200 @f7.1 matrix metering. It knows what you had for breakfast too ....

This is something I suffer with, I have a D70 and when I look at all my pics on the computer at home they just look like holiday snaps!!! I try and take similar pics to what I see on here but all they ever look like is that I took them with a disposable!! Maybe I need to look at a bit of post edititing

Wow - what fantastic photographs! Do you do this for a living?

Many thanks but I'm a complete amateur. You don't get to see the hundreds I discarded.

[Davi]

As there are so many, just a few from me that I was quite pleased with - these were my first attempt at photographing moving subjects so please excuse things in the way, not quite there with my framing on the fly yet!!






and one with a little bit of PS work - it was exactly the image I wanted but some tosspot left an orange high vis vest on a plastic cabin thing so they had to go

Cracking Goodwood in my opinion. Glad the weather improved from the miserable start on Saturday.

Here's a few pics, starting from a slightly different perspective...


Traction control...off


Aproaching the flint wall at pace is a little scary at first, not much room through there.






And a few from in front of Goodwood House...






































And our host.. Lord March

Thanks.

I'm using an old Canon Rebel XT (350D) with Tamron 18-250mm and 70-300mm lenses, nothing special. That tone might come from a mix of my using "Cloud" setting for the white balance (I prefer the slight yellow/orange tint) and the fact that the focus servo couldn't always keep up with the oncoming car! Result; unintentional soft focus! I don't have Photochop so these are straight from gun to tape, so to speak.

Derek Bell on the left of the picture with Tony Jardine.

[mel]

Thanks Mr C, I'd got the Derek Bell bit it was the other one, we'd narrowed it down to "Tony something" but it'd been winding me up since saturday night, he was on the next table in Cafe Rouge.

Just a few of mine





















Cheers,

The White Ferrari and motor home belong to JK, he had a Black Audi R8 parked one side and the ferrari the other, after the drivers show he was seen escorting 4 dancers back to his pad. Lucky B*std..lol

No wonder he's always so happy in his music

Was a great 3 days at FOS - will be back next year
