Spa Ferrari Days 2005: my preview

[Wutputt]

Since I'm way behind schedule with editing and uploading my pics, I'll post just a few preview pics. It rained a lot and it was very cloudy, so I hope my pics aren't too dark. But the wet track resulted in some nice spectacle with the historic cars. Almost all of them went sideways accelerating out of La Source. Too bad I wasn't allowed do stand on my usual spot, that would have given some great action pics.

[No.1]

Amazing preview dude :shock:

Love the polarizing effects on a rainy day.

Of course. the Enzo/F50/F40 shots are great, and the 360 NGT(?) and the Stradales look awesome. 8)

Heck, if that's only a preview, i can't wait to see the full post :P

[TT]

Pure sweetnes!!! Thanks for this preview, already a lot of pics! Can't wait to see more :D

The two Daytona Competizione must have been sooo loud lapping together :shock:

[bmagni]

wow, Enzo, F50, F40 and the 330 P4 (?), just nice
cant wait for all the pics

[Wutputt]

It's idd a 360 N-GT :)



The two Daytona Competizione must have been sooo loud lapping together :shock:
Loud they were! There were actually 3 of them and at a certain point they were driving very close to each other. My hairs stand up when those roaring V12's drove by. And the same was true for the 275 GTB's :D



wow, Enzo, F50, F40 and the 330 P4 (?), just nice

I think it's a 412 P, not 100% though.

I use a Nikon D70 with the 18-70 kit lens ;)

@ all: thanks for the compliments ;)

[AlfaGTV]

There were also three 512BB LM's running in the same race, much louder and faster than those Daytona's.

Idd, but for some reason I liked the sound of the 275 GTB's and Daytona's more. Which is weird actually, cause I really like the sound of a boxer engine.

[1zippo1]

those are some amazing pics!! Wish I had been there.

thx for sharing the experience with us!!

[The Transporter]

damn nice pictures... I love them all

[Speedracer38]

I love the Enzo pictures!!! :D

[dodo]

where the f** did the enzo hide? i haven't seen it!

[dingo]

:shock: This is one event I need to attend at least once in my lifetime - amazing! :D

I really love the Enzo pic, and the yellow on black F430 makes another appearance. :D

[pzgren]

Wow - still great pics dude. the 2nd pic of the enzo is absolutely phantastic!

[Wutputt]

where the f** did the enzo hide? i haven't seen it!
It was hidden in a box at the F1 paddock. But it went out on every free lap occasion.

[nurbrun]

AHHH awsome pics man. that filter looks great!!!

cant wait for the update :D

[ARMAN]

Mamma f*kin mia :!: Mighty F40!!! :love: Great pics quality :shock: Cant wait to see all of the pics those are already killing :P

[duko]

Holy shit dude :shock:.. That's sooo awesome.. Can't wait for the rest :D..

BTW- Where can I find the polarizer effect with photoshop :wink:

[dingo]

BTW- Where can I find the polarizer effect with photoshop :wink:

The 'polarizer effect' is achieved by physically attaching a polarizer filter to your camera - not through some software editing. :wink:

[duko]

Oh.. oké.. I didn't know that :oops: Thanks anyway ;)

[sikx5]

Wow man, awesome pics, that D70 is working hard dude.

Which Lense did you use?

Great stuff!!

[chest3r]

Awesome pics you have there man !!! :o

Loved the F40's and specialy the F430 with black wheels ( I'd never seen one like this, and it looks great :o ) and the 360 CS ( I really really love this car :love: )

[Wutputt]

I'm pleased you guys like the pics. But you'll still have to be a bit patient, cause I'm nowhere near finished with editing the pics ;)



Wow man, awesome pics, that D70 is working hard dude.

Great stuff!!
A Nikkor 18-70 DX lens. But I'm considering buying an extra zoom lens with a bigger max focal length for the action shots taken further away.

[dingo]

Did you use a tripod for these pics? I assume since it was pretty dark and also using the filter it would have meant that the shutter speed would be fairly slow already? :)

Nope. And yes it was pretty dark with the pola filter. So I used a larger aperture opening as usual and higher ISO values (a bit too high I fear for the pics taken inside the pitboxes). But this way I could keep the shutter speed at reasonable levels ;)
