Cool. Congrats.

[MrNase]

Thanks.

With manual white balancing. Some idiots decided to use orange lamps and everything was orange.

Nice.

I had to deliver my 1D MK III in for service today because of error 99. Damn stupid time. Day before I have to shoot motorsport and 3 weeks before I goto africa.

But since I am CPS member I got a loaner camera for the weekend so I was out today to take a few photos to make sure I had everything setup before the weekend.

I got media access to Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix 2008 this weekend. Some photos can be seen here:

More will be uploaded as I process them.

Today I've been to a classic car show too.

Not a good experience… I got injured because a historic race car broke through a hay bale (the race track's boundary) at high speed and I was standing behind this hay bale. I was very lucky, at the first they suspected a severe injury of my backbone and they took me into hospital but I only twisted my knee.
Every single part of my body hurts like hell but the woman standing next to me was badly injured.

I was truly in luck.

[tommykjensen]

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

Is that the audience that is so close to the track ? Doesn't look too safe to me.

[MrNase]

One photo from where I stood:



Those cars got the yellow flag and they slowed down before the turn:



I read their statement to the press and they said we were told several times to leave because it wasn't save to stand there but that's just not true.


Here's a Youtube video of the accident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxYJuG6k1DY

Thats crazy. The press knows the risk they run by doing their job and I ran that risk too but that looks like they did a poor job at securing the audience.

Where you there as press ? And the lady that got hurt ?

[MrNase]

We were normal visitors, the press was at the other side of the road.

I decided that I'm going to report it to the police. They are already investigating - I hope something like this will never happen again.

[Razasharp]

Looks like that camera man distracted the driver by standing on the corner - I would be livid!

Hope you get well soon - there's no way I'd stand at the end of a straight as I'd be worried about stuff like this.

I see all these great pictures being posted, and there are some good ones. But lets be honest and throw a bit of controversy into this. It's not that hard these days to take a "good picture" with the technology that cameras now have to make everything automated.

The days of having to use a manual SLR camera, and do all the shutter speed and other settings yourself are well gone. Now it's just click and there you go - great picture taken! Even my grandma if she was alive today could take a great picture with todays camera's!

It's not a case of taking a great picture anymore, but capturing a great moment, thats the skill.

I just ordered the EOS Rebel XSi (EOS 450D) to replace my EOS Rebel XTi (EOS 400D).
There's not a huge difference between those two but Canon changed some little things that I always hated (self-timer, viewfinder, battery pack).

I'm not too sure about the new image processor (DIGIC III) but time will tell.
