Man, you Convicts sure know how to have fun! I didn't see any Ferrari fans dressed as horses, members of Kiss or Roman soldiers at Indianapolis last year. And who was that incredibly beautiful woman in the black pants and the McLaren hat? Hello, Nurse! Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

Great shots. Looks like quite a bit of action. Glad to see you got a few photos of the birds hanging about. There's always _something_ to look at on race day...

Pleased to hear my humble 56k modem is up to speed....I have freed up some server space, so i will upload quite a few more shots (I went a little overboard)) sometime over the weekend and maybe a few higher res versions. Cheers Phil Thanks all for the positive comments "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IxWp6.529219$[email hidden]...

Great pictures, but here is a handy photographers tip. First, get a decent telephoto lens and use the field of depth (see professional photographers), second, crop and enlarge photos. Otherwise absolutely brilliant. Chris Phil Abel <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:988r0g$f9u$[email hidden]... | G'day all...I attended the Aussie F1GP last weekend, and have uploadedlots

Sorry, my mistake. Sport's photographers use a short depth of field to blur out the background and focus on the object, e.g. with soccer, they use a low horizon line and blur out the stands, thus creating a more powerful and less confused image. As to your request for how to achieve this effect: a mathematical nightmare of f-stops and focus. I admit, it is a long time since I tried to achieve these effects and can't really remember how to do it. Just been to the bookcase. You need a wide aperture and a dull day to reduce over exposure. Alternatively you could use a dark filter to control the exposure. Anyway, this isn't a photography class, and I'm an amateur.

Ohmigod! I just realised that I admitted to be being not very good at something on RAS! Whatever next?! I'll be admitting I'm crap at GPL, or worse, that I prefer F1 to NASCAR, or worse again, I enjoyed the Olympics despite the lack of engines! Oh no. Remain calm, I don't think anyone noticed. Phew. Chris No, not the send button, my reputation will be ruined... Chris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:98gf7l$kut$[email hidden]... | Sorry, my mistake.

Here's a better photographer's tip (from a professional photographer): Be in the right place, get the pictures, deliver on time. Looks like you did it.

I've heard of these Olympics...didn't beleive they existed tho...don't the rules makers prohibit folks from going around a track without flame-retardent suits? Next you'll be telling me they allow folks to throw bowling balls across the infield or reward diving into a pool... dave henrie
