Townsville, what a great event!

Jul 12

Posted by Vern in Motorsport, Photography | No Comments

This was a fantastic event in the V8 Supercar calendar, the racing was great and the off track entertainment was also awesome. The Townsville track is not your usual street circuit, not only you can see so much of the track from so many different angles and locations, but it encourages great racing as well. Each corner has a unique an setup to produce strong competitive driving.

The Top Gear Shot

Apr 14

Posted by Vern in Automotive, Photography | No Comments

Toyota Prado on a mountainMy wife recently bought her dream car, a nice 2005 Toyota Prado. Great car, low kms and amazingly had never ever been off road! Poor car, never experiencing the dirt it was built for.

So only a few weeks after it had joined it’s new owners, we took it camping in the Barrington Top in NSW, where there just happened to be a mountain to climb.

I got this shot from the top, where funnily enough there is an old caravan that someone dragged up there.

I made sure I got the light levels right for the sky so that I could get in the sky and clouds and then after a bit of low level light adjustments and a bit of vignetting this is what we came out with.

Reminds me of that typical Top Gear style shot.

I love shooting this car!

The orange is so heavy on any contrasting colours and you can really push orange.

Bathurst 12 Hour 2010

Feb 15

Posted by Vern in Automotive, Motorsport, Photography | No Comments

Another great event at the Bathurst 12 Hour this year and although the constant rain made it difficult for taking shots, it certainly made things interesting on the track as well as a good backdrop for photos.

Of course the lower light meant running the ISO a little high and dropping to a fairly low shutter speed, really need a bigger lens!

The Trading Post sponsors Kim Jane, and I was lucky enough to go along on a V8 Supercar drive day with them. It was certainly nice to go for another bolt around Oran Park before it’s gone forever.

Rest of the photos here;
