I caught a fairly dramatic roll over at the BMF.

Heres the LINK (this is the media groups website).

The image has been used by the media group promoting the series, and forwarded to the news services. I got a few dollars so far. All good.

I will post larger images when I get a chance.

It was good to catch up with so many of our members; Jeff, Kyle, Michael, TassieD and MCWB . It was a mini meet!

Alan,

Great series, and well captured.

Sorry about the small size, but I dont want to post them any larger for unfortunately obvious reasons.











I was on the phone to Kyle when the accident happened. The phone was chucked away and I had to go and find it later.

Sorry about the amount of images, but there are about 40 in the sequence. Thank god for the D2h!!!

I saw this on the news last night at it was pretty spectacular...

I love the shot where the engine falls out!

Great work Raskill

Awesome series Alan,

I thought you would have been there when I saw this on the news last night.

Great capture, you certainly deserve the money for these shots!

cheers,

André

"...you're the ones who said "Zoom-bloody-Zoom". "

yeah i move for 5min from that very spot and look what happens

Great catch.Right place at the right time.Who actually won the race?That crash is the only thing that made the news from the event.

one of the evos, white one with 3 very tall dudes, i think it was the petfoods evo IX RS

Alan
That's how it's done! Great job!.....and great pics!

Fantastic captures. Well done for picking out that spot to stand too

Excellent captures!

Alex

I work for Thrifty...serve em right

Awesome captures Alan, I wondered if they were from one of you guys! Sorry I didn't catch up with you on Sunday, I only noticed your SMS when I got home. Good to catch up with you guys, if only for a short time.

Right place, right time, sweet shots Nasty looking accident, too..

What shutter were you on at the time?

Thanks for the comments folks, it really was a case of right place, right time. I was shooting in manual, about 1/250, F/16, about 270mm. I would usually be shooting in shutter priority, but the large white billboard was reflecting to much light and tricking the exposure meter. Un pp'ed all the images are about 1.5 stops undercooked, which is annoying, but they come up ok.

More likely "Oh crap..... we didn't do the recall on the Race Car "

(Bit of background -- there was a recall last year on the 3MPS as an engine mount? was known to fail, leading to the transmission being dropped, car needing tow, etc.......)

I know as I own one.

Great image sequence......

Great shots mate, really were in the right place at the right time. Fantastic sequence. I'm sure the noise would have been just as impressive as the shots are. Thank God that the driver walked away. I'm sure he'll want a copy to hang on the wall.

And the engine mount had nothing to do with the engine falling out. I think it was more being sideways at 250km/h and hitting the kitty litter.

I know.... it was humour, like the posts quoted.... Just had to explain what the recall was

Awesome

Alan, these are simply superb!
right place, right time, right gear, right photographer..
the perfect package

Well done Alan,you deserve all the good things that come from the capture. Not only were you good enough under pressure but you knew what to do with the shots after you had them congrats.
It was good to catch up with the other guys as well.
Jeff
