Cal Club Autocross Forums

All of the Ladies School Photos have been uploaded. Note that the first four shots are SAMPLES ... as also seen here ... showing what can be done to the other files, ie. enlarged/cropped, color and density corrected and some Sharpening can be added.

NOTE, you can order Prints for 1 cent over cost. I have to tack on a penny so that their software will inform me when you place an order, so that I can upload the high resolution print file(s). If you just want the file email to you ... just let me know which files

The look on the face of the driver of the VW captures what the school is all about. Nice photo Mako.

That is a GREAT photo!

I was able to add 3 more layers of wax to Jeff & Nicole's car in photoshop =) Patty Wang entering the Showcase Turn Around. I like the Driver's Side Rear Wheel Stoppage.

Excellent! (yeah ... Noise Reduction is great for making cars nice and glossy, same thing that makes faces look plastic)

... My panning skills are as good as my ax'ing ability, ie. pretty mediocre!

When I shooting AX, someone should check on me every few minutes to make sure I'm not using an "arty" slow shutter speed ... which just results in a lot of blurry shots.

Whoa, something else I can use for more gloss! I have to go back and make Black Magic look even wetter now... :gpower:

It also helped that I wiped the car down with a gloss enhancer and a Quik Wax before the runs!

I like that PQ35 Volkswagen shot-- that face is the reason I switched from an open face helmet to one with a chin protector =)

The Girl In the VW is my 16 yr. old Daughter. I'm not sure which was more fun seeing the smile across her face or actually driving . When she gets her older brother to the Jan. AX there will be some serious competition! She'll probably have a bigger smile from rubbing in that he can't keep up with her. I was happily surprised at how quick she was! Sorry, Just a proud father bragging.

Excellent! That's exactly what we want to hear. We welcome your family to our big autocross family!

Thanks for the welcome. I've brought a friend with me to the last two AX's and we've both been impressed with everyone we've met. Requests for advice are always met with a smile. Yet there is a FUN competitive spirit. Every time we come away with a few more friends. We're really glad we found this club.

I just Pushed up a couple of videos to youtube for any one who's interested. I'm trying to edit down the raw footage so the clips of the same car are all one video. Each car has it's own Video This video is all the footage I have of the Blue Mini :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mASo8JVp ... er&list=UL To see the other videos you can click the drop down of my videos and they should show up. I'll be uploading more tonight the you tube upLoad is really slow. All of the footage is edited so I'll get it pushed up as soon as possible. Feel free to send me an email if you'd like a full res. version in HD Mpeg. Sorry I couldn't get everyone and I apologize for the camera shake on some of the footage, I didn't have my Tripod.
