Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines.

Clipsal 500
That time of year again but this year an over zealous security guard in the pit area spoilt the party a little bit by trying to tell me that I could not use my 400mm 2.8 lens as it was "too big". When I informed him that there were no restrictions at the Adelaide race he then told me that he had spoken to his supervisor, well he did not nor his supervisor did not take it too well when they were again told, albeit this time with far more assertiveness that they were both wrong. They then tried the old intimidation routine of following me around for bit, but I continued to shoot and remind them of the TOC on the ticket and did offer to stop shooting if they personally refunded my 85 dollars. Eventually they gave up but it did spoil the day some what. Anyway here are a few from the day..
This is not a crop, walking into the event and we were buzzed!!!  The Fujitsu girls  The only flame seen all day - car racing has lost a lot by going over to ethanol from a visual point of view.  Some of you will be old enough to know who this is and what band,,  Canon
Re: Clipsal 500
Bloody bullies .... And then you were harassed? I would be calling the organisers and lodging a formal complaint. Moreso about the harassment, than anything else. That can really leave a sour taste in one's mouth. Glad you had a good day anyway, and managed to grab some good shots. Did you manage to complete the oil change on the jet as it flew over your head?  g.

Re: Clipsal 500
Nice 'Q.
Take it as a victory over the knuckle scrapers that you got to do what you came for. Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Re: Clipsal 500
I'm sorry to hear about the yellowshirts. They really are becoming a problem.
Nice shots as always. I was inside when the FA-18 went around, and you certainly couldn't miss it. I've just uploaded my shots from yesterday. Post processing takes too long... Daniel Nikon D4, D2Xs, D70, Nikkors and Sigmas lenses from 10 to 400mm
