not to start a war between camera nerds. but, quality is only limited by the photographer, not the equipment.
guessing by the file name it was taken by a kodak camera? :confused: all the metadata has been stripped from the images.
fwiw, DSLRs and some highend p&s digital cameras have surpassed 35mm film quite some time ago :D

Agree with all of your statements except the last one ... there is still much more info on film then even the highest pixel count "35" mm imaging chips.

Great looking shots; most folks don't have the wit to use a flash outdoors in sunlight. Good to see that it was done properly. :)

Although most were pros ... there were certainly a lot of regular folk out there today with long pro type lenses:
My buddy Pete took these with one of those one piece digi/SLR like cameras ... he should have more photos posted soon (nice overall shot of the stadium):

Mako, I walked right by you today and called your name, but you must not have heard me. I was in a rush so could not chase after you

Is it me, or do those jumps look asinine?
| makofoto | 08-04-2006 11:35 PM |
Those jumps are for the motocross bikes ... read the caption on the stadium photo.

makophoto,
Are you going to be there tomorrow. We plan on getting there about 7:30am.
Had some of my pics printed to get signed! WOW!
I have 10.5mm, 17-55mm, 80-200mm, and 300mm 2.8, and several flashes and my D2H.

What's your camera position? I'll come see you (at least I will try since the security is really tight)
The access to shoot photos really sucks balls! The security won't let me go anywhere, and I am the official Rally photographer for ESPN, and I have a staff credential and everything!. I nearly got myself thrown out of there today :lol:

Makofoto ... "mako," japanese heritige; "foto," german heritage. ;)
I think I saw enough today ... I want to take it in on TV tomorrow. It's really a "made for the small screen" event. If you are in the stadium you can watch the whole lap, including in-camera shots, 100 yard long cable cam down the back straight, SpiderCam over the stadium and lots of jib arms and cranes ... on the Big Screen. It is good to go there to soak up the atmosphere. It's easy to walk around and get a good view of the entire course ... from up high. Pretty great for a dirt/tarmac special stage!
One reason to go there today was to hand over my Spec C LSD that I sold to a Rally competitor ... it's going to have an exciting new home in a Rally Car!
... also my long zoom isn't back from being serviced. :-(

Compared to road racing and street racing circuits ... I though there were lots of great angles ... that pretty much anyone could grab. We talked to one ESPN photographer who had the same complaints though. "STAY BEHIND THE CONCRETE!" Try something different ... lots of neat high angle shots ... especially around the fountain.

I was working ... as a director today, had my own Team Blew staff still photographer with me. Nice, when it was over, I went home to relax ... he's having to process all of the shots. :-)

[QUOTE=makofoto]"STAY BEHIND THE CONCRETE!" Try something different ... lots of neat high angle shots ... especially around the fountain.[/QUOTE]
It wasn't just stay behind the concrete, it was stay behind the fencing that was 30 feet behind the concrete!
I had already shot the overhead fountain shot yesterday, and I shot the jumps and the dirt.... I find it boring as hell. There is only a few decent places to shoot and most of them they won't let you anywhere near it to shoot
I still managed a lot of good shots, but I had to sneak in and try and steal the shots before security kicked me out

Try shooting AX'ing. I got called off my position behind ARMCO, "the event is stopped until the photographer behind the barrier returns to the paddock!" ... which was probably THE safest place in the Green Lot at CA Speedway, because I didn't have a spotter. Called off by an overzealous Deputy Safety Steward ... after I had gotten permission from the Head Safety Steward ... who agreed with me that my position wasn't even on course, thus not requiring a spotter. I was so upset I took my toys and went home! :-) It wasn't like I was out there for my own fun in 105 degree heat. I was trying to get shots for my fellow competitors.

Man ... you just go for the easy spectacular shots! :lol:
This is about as exciting as it gets in AX'ing ... and if you blink, you miss it. I asked the driver to do it again ... and he wouldn't!

You really need to come out to one of our events to see if you can work your magic! Rallying makes you look good! :D

| makofoto | 08-05-2006 04:39 PM |
There was something wrong with the SRT. He apparently missed the first days practice sesson, so yesterday when he did his first lap (he missed the parade lap), he jumped ... just enough to pancake between the two bumps. Pete's photo above shows his second lap. Not sure what he was thinking ... but there was something large and loud rattling around under his car ... before the jump.

The commentary is on par with all televised sports- tennis, baseball, etc, the announcers know what they are talking about, but dont go too deep into the mechanics and finer points of whats going on, to make it more entertaining and interesting to those who are not into whats going on..
God im jealous of these guys...how old are they? I figure if i get into rally now ill have a chance to do something with it.

comentary sucks in my opinion but overall not bad. I think im starting to come around to the 06 front end, they look pretty nice, especially mcrae's car
| Synx | 08-05-2006 05:19 PM |
I duno, seems more like they are trying to talk about it from a regular xgames commentator perspective (which i assume they are). Which sure its okay, but i dont care to hear "wow sick nasty drift" every other turn. Either way this is great for the sport, and awesome to watch, but i really hope McRae takes it. Guess im too used to Grist from the ole days of speed tv, EuroSport coverage is great though.
