Perth Motorkhana (Porsches, Lotus, Evo VIII, Skylines...)
 

I wanted to try out the new camera I bought this week (let me know what you think of the results :wink: ), so I decided to go to a little Motorkhana event being held by the Porsche club.

The day was split into 2 parts, the morning was for newbies just trying out their cars and then in the afternoon some 911's and others competed. :D

Nothing special really turned up, but it was really fun to watch anyway as most of them really gave it their all. :D

A bunch of Elise's, the red one is my favourite :D

LOL "FURELISE" :lol: Yep, that red elice is nice. 205 and last Carerra ummmmmmm...... I wish we had days like that overhere :( You got 205's in Australia or its induvidual import? :shock:
Dont know anything about cameras, the only thing I can say - very sharp pics and good colors :mrgreen:

I honestly don't know, but it is the first one I can recall seeing so either way they are pretty rare. :wink:

Lovely event. I fully agree with you, the red Elise looks great and the 4th pic you took of it looks magnificent!!

What camera did you bought? It can handle a pola filter now I hope? :D
It seems a good purchase to me, cause the result are very good!

Its my favourite picture of the lot for sure. :D

Thats what I forgot to mention :oops: , its a Canon Powershot S2 IS ( http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05042201canons2is.asp ). :wink:

It is 5MP and has a 12x optical zoom which is nice, and yes it can handle a polarizer filter. :wink: However since the camera was only released last week I need to order in the 72mm adaptor before I can fit the filter. :wink:

^^^
That all sounds very good. I wish you a lot of photography pleasure with it ;)

I agree, that 4th picture is very nice! But also the other action shots are very cool! Thanks!

beatiful pics!!!

i love the elises!!!!

well if the competition was a bit tougher then it might not have looked so good, as only the Elise's and Skylines could really challenge it. :wink:

You can't complain, you get some awesome track days at Barcelona instead. :D

nice i see that R34 skyline all the time, it is driven by a chick, haha


not many Porsche's for a event held by the Porsche club.. :(

Good pics,

these Porsche one's are great.

Do you use a UV filter like TT ?

:!:

Yes, she was at the wheel at this event too - but its a damn automatic. :?

Its a shame there were not more Porsches, especially considering I see some nice 996's and 997's on the road which could compete - but for some reason they don't become members. :(

As I mentioned above, I have ordered an adaptor so I can fit different filters on the camera.

I will buy a polarizer filter though, not a UV one. :wink:

I just realised I didn't put my watermark on the 4th pic - the best one! :(

You all need to return the original picture and save the one with the watermark.... :P
