Clipsal 500 - Adelaide

[foonji]

just thought i'd make a thread since i can't seem to find one.... thought there would of been one by now!

I'm gone 5months and you guys are get slack!

well, anyway... not sure if i'm going to be there yet this year... but if i can, its all on like donkey kong!

who else is going?

[Big V]

I will be there Sat and maybe Fri from lunch - was supposed to be going Thursday as well but a work commitment now means that is off the cards..

[foonji]

kewl kewl

[Jonesy]

Depending on what time i leave here maybe friday arvo...

Locked in for Sat and Sun!

[adame]

As couple of you already know ill be shooting from the other side of the fence this yr , But think i should be able to find some time for a minimeet if one was to eventuate.

I would suggest Saturday morning like last year, same place same time.

[threesongs]

depends if i get a pass from one of the bands to shoot the concerts.

[Occxlr8ed]

I'll be there thursday nite for the concert (have an exam durin the day...), during the day thursday, and MAYBE at night but most probs go to the fringe opening party...saturday should be there for the race. I'm gunna go borrow sum lenses from a mate haha...anyone wanna shout me sum media passes or soemthing? haha..

Talking about borrowing lenses, have not shot any photos at Clipsal or any other car event...what should i borrow? Probably one lens or max two would be easiest...

Im thinkingg.... a 300mm F4/l, and maybe a 70-200mm? I'll be shooting through the fence....at this point of time lol, and probably be great to get sum pics at the concert.

And then we can all use your pass for 30 mins at a time

Same time and place sounds good

[fozzie]

I will be there from Saturday morning (opening time), until I have had enough

Am shooting for a local paper i do a lot of work for mate, I haven't received my info pack yet but my rep from the paper called the media guys through the week who confirmed i was in.

[team piggy]

Your lucky! They were so tight that even my ride (circulation of 50k (Web hits) a month) Was apparently "Not enough" !!

Whats circulation of your paper?

I don't even think I will bother attending at this stage, I hate shooting thru the fence its a waste of time it seems unless you can get a prime spot!

Mate I'm not sure about the paper circulation the bean counters at the paper filled that stuff in before they sent it off for me (I was night shift), Was the reason for your non acceptance given as a circulation problem??

Mate don't get too bummed still come for a mini meet, meet a few of the faces on here, Shooting through the fence isn't as hard as it looks, we have a couple of good spots.

Taken through fence.


And you don't seriously think we go just to take photos of the cars

[foonji]

And you don't seriously think we go just to take photos of the cars

haha, won't find many pics of cars from me!

more likely to see... "The Adventures of Yowie-Man and Clipsal"

[Marvin]

Have fun guys. Not too many pictures of semi naked women please!!! I'm sure there are other interesting things to focus on.

[Biggzie]

Well Ive got a 4 day gold pass, and my plans so far are leave here for Adelaide either Mon/Tues and call into Monarto either on the way there or on the way back, and get back home by Tues night.
So Im up for meeting some of you guys. (at last )

[fozzie]

Marvin - that would take all the excitement out of the day

Not too many pictures of semi naked women please!!!

fozzie

[Big V]

You mean there are cars there?

[Marvin]

Man, you two are hopeless!

[fozzie]

Marvin - we try hard

Haha, you know me as well, lol. It's ollie from AP.

I should be there for sure on the Sat, but I'll be screwed because I've got gigs at the Fringe party, but yeah, I should be able to get there .

Where and when. BTW, foonj, are you going to be shooting the Fringe party?

[Big V]

I'll be at the fringe party as well...

[team piggy]

Yeah it was generally worded towards a circulation issue and also something about "limited space" in the media centre (Who the f$#k goes in there though!! LOL)!!

I may still go as I was just offered a bunch of goldies today. It's the first time I have been turned down for media creds in a few years ! Oh well..
The new clipsal outfits look good too, I know a few of the girls that are doing it this year.

I should roll our work scissor lift up to one of the fences that my mate has a property next too That ought to be high enough to confuse them....

[foonji]

[DebT]

Hi Guys,
I scored both a day off and a great pass for Friday so won't catch up with you on Sat... my lense will be pointing toward the track most of the time unless I spot the 'Clipsal Boys' .. our local radio station has set up an alternative to the 'Clipsal girls' so hoping for a fun shot for our female members

Pity about the cool weather ...although I am not sure the usual dress code is actually weather related ...who knows a few drops of rain may provide some great opportunities around the tight and bumpy curves ...you may even have to rescue a damsal in distress and offer our jacket to warm her up a little - Happy hunting !!

Cheers Deb T

[fozzie]

Hi Deb T - you have a great time too.

I am sure that the other guys and me will have an excellent time on Saturday, with the cars and the other distraction...did someone mention,

tight and bumpy curves ...you may even have to rescue a damsal in distress and offer our jacket to warm her up a little - Happy hunting !!

Well I've finally processed my photos from Saturday.
I can't believe Big V was criticizing the Clipsal girls this year. They seemed nice enough to me...

The Clipsal Girls


The Clipsal Supergirls

my lense will be pointing toward the track most of the time unless I spot the 'Clipsal Boys' .. our local radio station has set up an alternative to the 'Clipsal girls' so hoping for a fun shot for our female members

I didn't see any Clipsal Boys, so here are some guys in green.

Best there was... unless you count us studly forum members.
