Some F1 photo

[trident]

Hi,
Got some F1 photos to share. Most of my photos didn't turn out well and the fence didn't help. Please don't laugh hor

Richard,
The color seems very saturated. Did you do anything to it??

[Wackytpt]

Where were you taking photographs at?

I was at F1 too..

BUT I WAS WORKING!!!!

Grrrr...

[tcy81]

the photos are quite sharp

Luenny,
Nothing special done, just some contrast and sharpening.

Nicholas,
I was at Padang Grandstand, but the seats are so cramp and shooting angle so bad, I went to turn 8 to shoot instead, they are slower at the turn.
I wanted to say "Happy Working" but didn't want to rub it in

chee yong,
Out of the 1000+ photos, only a handful turn out quite "ok"
I was on manual focusing the whole time, when using AF,
it tends to focus on the fence.

[tcy81]

i actually shot using AF... so did you pan to take your shots ?

Chee Yong,
No planning, just walk around till find a less crowded spot. Managed to get a stool to stand on. The seat at the stand was quite hopeless, small and cramped with too many people walking about. I was using AF at first, but result was bad till a guy next to me told me to try MF (he was using MF too). At least it was better.

[tcy81]

i see, ya shoot from the seats really quite bad.... people just like to move around.

[luenny]

When all the shots show fence, that's a sign to stop shooting or move to somewhere where the fence isn't so visible.

Luenny,
There's very little place where there is no fence. The only places without fence are blocked off for official photographers. I even see some official photographers shoot thru the fence, most likely the official area are over crowded.
I think the only option is your equipment, whether it's sufficient to blur out the fence so it wouldn't show (too much). At the beginning I was using my 55-250mm to shoot, as you can see from the picture 4 to 8 the fence was quite prominent. When I switch to the 400mm, I was able to blur out the fence to a certain degree, picture 1 to 3.

[luenny]

Go very very near to the fence. That way you'll blur it out even with 250mm.

Problem is, we are not allowed near the fence. There is another barrier blocking us
It was about 1 to 2 meter between the barrier and the fence.
So sad, such an event screwed up by the stupid fence

Thanks for sharing. Very good shooting.

Any pics of the F1 girls?

[barmby]

Try clubsnap

[Savant]

Ah... I'm trying to get addicted to only one forum you see... here at least the damage is contained...

[barmby]

I get the drift. Some AQ members I know, bought lens = a few ehiem filters..

[trident]

Savant,
Sad I wasn't at the padock where the girls are
Anyway I think the Super Import Night girls are much better. (. .)

[Savant]

Where? Got pics? We need our own aquarama girls

[trident]

Super Import Night (SIN) babes pictures can be found at cs. Link below.
But I think it should be called Super Longkang Night, car show but everyone is babe watching.
