Hi there,

Thought I would spend some of the Bank Holiday weekend playing catch up. There are still hundreds of photos that I have taken over recent months that have never made it to my website.

The ones below were taken in early June 2007 at the Ferrari Racing Days event at Silverstone.

You may or may not know how the Ferrari F430 Challenge series is structured, essentially there are two different events. Trofeo Pirelli for the professional drivers and Coppa Shell for the amateur/gentleman drivers.

These pics are of the Trofeo Pirelli event, I also have some of the Coppa Shell event which I will post over the weekend.

If you like F430's this will be a great chance for you to see all the various colours and liveries.

Here is a selection: -













The rest of the pics can be found on my site: -

Hope you like the pics

the pics are great tim, but they seem a taj oversharpened ?

i wouldn't normally comment, but with a little more care & attention the 'great' pics will become 'superb' pics.

Dave,

Thanks for that. I seem to be having a problem with my monitor, must invest in a better quality one. When I upload them at home and then view them at work they look ten times better on the work monitor.

Heres the first picture again: -



And the same picture again without any added sharpening: -



Is the second one better ???

Seems to be a force of habit when I am processing all of my pics, I automatically run them through the unsharp mask in Photoshop. Need to check the pictures first in future to see whether they need it or not.

Thanks again

Tim

can't see much difference in the two latter & similar pics, tim.

however both are much better than the originally posted, first pic .... the wheel arches have now lost their "threepenny bit", pixellated look.

your work should sell, therefore an investement in a good quality monitor (and calibrater), software and printer would certainly reap dividends.

happy snappin'
