[ForzaRossa]

cool pics Dirk...but didn't expect any less from you LOL

 

[Dj Dirk]

thanks waldo

well its 2 am now, and im considering packing in and to start driving home slowly, an hour ago i slidded away and fell on my knee to protect my gear, now my knee is hurting pretty hard and walking around is a bit difficult
at least i got all the shots i need, especially night shots, not on all locations that i wanted but it will have to do

 

[Dj Dirk]

oh yes, the ProDrive 550 is still in the lead

 

[Dj Dirk]

some night shots

 

[Rosso]

Some awesome pictures you've got there, Dirk!

 

[Stradale]

Great photos Dirk!! And it's at night! You must have very powerful flash.

yep the topmodel from the Nikon flashes the SB800
i just would love the seperate batterypack but that one costs more then the flash

I think that's the one I'll get. There's the new SB600 but it's not as powerful.

I bougt the Nikon DX 10.5 mm Fisheye recently and after using it, I don't know why I bought it. :lol: I then bought the Nikon DX 12-24mm Zoom and this one makes more sense. Great for indoors. The SB800 would be great for this lens.

I have the Nikon DX 18-70mm Zoom that came with the D70. That one is the most useful. And with the the falsh cards, I can just snap at my heart's content. I love this new experience! Waiting for Nikon DX 70-200mm to complete my range.

 

[Dj Dirk]

so you didn't liked the fisheye?
you preffer the 12-24?
i'm looking to add a wide-angle lens to my setup and was thinking for a fisheye
it would be very usefull for me in La Source at Spa Francorchamps or the exit of the Mercedes-Arena at Nurburgring and also at Concours

can you post some comparisation shots?

 

[Stradale]

OK, will do when I get back to KL. I forgot to bring the Nikon download software to Melbourne, so I can't download the pictures. Silly me.

 

[Dj Dirk]

yes you can, go buy an external USB card reader, that's like 20-30 € and you can plug that into any pc that has USB and no software is required then
and all you have to do is copy the pics to a folder yourself

 

[Stradale]

I'll be back on Monday. If I'm in town I'll look for the card reader. :wink:

 

[Stradale]

Dirk, I've sent the photos to your e-mail address. Please check.

 

[Rosso]

I was going to say something about that flash...

Well, so it was a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 I hear?

 

[basman]

Well, so it was a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 I hear?

Yup:
1 place - car nr. 2 - Ferrari 550M
2 place - car nr. 11 - Ferrari 575M
3 place - car nr. 1 - Ferrari 550M
4 place - car nr. 17 - Ferrari 575M
5 place - car nr. 32 - Chrysler Viper
6 place - car nr. 13 - Ferrari 575M
7 place - car nr. 18 - Ferrari 575M

I was there during the race, but the commentary was in French and I don't speak french. So, untill this morning (I came back from Belgium last night) I didn't knew wich car had won :/

 

[Stradale]

Fantastic result.

 

[Dj Dirk]

thats not the overall result
thats the class result

on overall a Freisinger Porsche was 3th

 

[Stradale]

An N-GT car 3rd overall. Wow. Then again the N-GT Porsche won the 24 hours at Spa last yera but that was in the rain. Nevertheless it ws a fantastic result.
