Brit Classic Sprint - Wakefield Park Goulburn NSW

It was a dismal drive out to Goulburn last weekend, fog, sleet, ordinary breakfast meat pie... But the highlight was to see my mate's dad's Adelaide housed Triumph Spitfire MkIII doing time trials around Wakefield Park race way.



Other notable classics were GT6s and TR7, some making the trip up from Adelaide too. The foggy start to the morning added to the atmosphere of hearing high performance engines shrouded by mist (and the occasional tyre squeal!)



Access was limited (and I was somewhat lazy), so the shots look kinda samey.



All in all, still need to practice slow shutter speed panning (though 70-200mm VRII does most of the heavy lifting) and shot dicipline to start tracking and panning earlier whilst keeping and eye on composition. I'm most satisfied with the GT6 and Wakefield Park sign in the background.

LoFi - Lensbaby is tricky to use

So a Lensbaby composer pro with sweet35 optic came in the post the other day. I've been aching to get out with it but work sees me at home after dark at the moment. Nevermind, the weekend is here, but it's bitterly cold (falling snow even! but it melted before it hit the ground)

Ducked out on the bike for a quick sunset play with the new toy this afternoon. Definitely not easy to use in a time critical situation. I went with a tacky Lomo-esq processing to see if it made me feel any better about using it. Overall, I'm pretty happy, it gets me an image that I couldn't easily do in post, that crazy stretched blur or without a seriously expensive tilt-shift lens.

If anything it stops me just blatting away taking photos, I have to really work on composition and sweet spot location, AND size based on aperture. Hopefully it will be a good training tool to worry more about my composition.
