Manfeild VMCC 24th Sep - some pictures

[Kendog]

What a great day.

Got to play on the infield and tried out some different settings on the camera.
Here are some pics of KBers that I recognised.

[Kendog]

These are some other pics that I liked the look of :done:

[skelstar]

Jeebus, those are some good pics Nigel.

Cheers for ride home btw :niceone:

[Kendog]

Cheers.

And yep, was a good ride home. A bit faster than I normally travel but very enjoyable.

[bugjuice]

good shots there.. what camera do you have?

[Kendog]

good shots there.. what camera do you have?
Thanks. Canon 350d with kit lense.

[skelstar]

A bit faster than I normally travel but very enjoyable.
Yeah? Pretty sure we weren't going to see any cops...besides! You were infront in the fast bits ;)

[jimbo600]

Thats fine work indeed. Seriously you could make a career out of your photography. Its well past the amateur stage.

[Trudes]

Nice one baby!!:niceone:
So when are you gonna take some more nice pics of me on my bike (or yours)??:devil2:

[Grub]

Hey KD, those are really good. The use of rotate really gives them a different dimension. Love the ones of flame and 88(Sam?) ... oh alright and Limbimtimwim and Sparky and who is 40?

[Grub]

(or yours)??:devil2:

... cool!! .... :jerry:

[skelstar]

...and who is 40?
poos!

10ch

[flame]

Wicked shots Nigel! Cheers :2thumbsup Is there any way I could get a print of 99? :)

[Grub]

poos!

Ouch, I should have known that ... now I'lll get even more abuse at the pub

[Kendog]

Thats fine work indeed. Seriously you could make a career out of your photography. Its well past the amateur stage.
Cheers jimbo.

Wicked shots Nigel! Cheers :2thumbsup Is there any way I could get a print of 99? :)
For sure. I will send you that original and cropped image.
There are over 700 pics from the day, with some more that came out pretty well.
I will post up some other good ones later. If anyone wants to know if I have got a picture of them just let me know your bike number.

[Colapop]

Cheers.

And yep, was a good ride home. A bit faster than I normally travel but very enjoyable.
Pfffft!! And you suggested I might want to try and keep up - like that would have happened!

I had a cracker day yesterday. Pit bitched, bitched and hugged... Sorry the cake wasn't up to my normal standard but it seemed to disappear ok...

[MSTRS]

Hey Col. Cake was good. Couldn't find you when we were leaving, so had to leave the crumbs, knife and leathers where they were...glad they didn't walk!!

[Toast]

Cheers jimbo.

[White trash]

[Meekey_Mouse]

Hey, awesome pics :D Do you have any of #199 in Streetstock by any chance?

[Kendog]

Hey dude. If you've got any pics of a yellow number 30 in F1/F2, could I please get a copy? Cheers.

Here are some of you. These are not cropped so are as I shot them, just reduced in size to show on KB.

Send me your email address for high res.

[Kendog]

If ya have any shots of a white K7 thousand, #20 lapping very slowly, I'd love to see em.

Well there must have been a race where you were no on the 20 bike that I missed :)

Here are some pics of you going a little quicker than slowly.

[Kendog]

If ya have any shots of a white K7 thousand, #20

Then there was this shot. Are you posing for the camera or looking for Drew? :lol:

[Kendog]

Hey, awesome pics :D Do you have any of #199 in Streetstock by any chance?

I have these of your bike, but I am not sure if that's you riding?
Nice sequence around a fallen rider :niceone:

[Toast]

Awesome, thanks dude! That size is fine for my intended use of checking how bad my form is.

Looking at my colour coordination in those I've really gotta stop buying riding gear based purely on price and comfort.

[NZsarge]

These are some other pics that I liked the look of :done:

All those pics are top notch mate, I like the one of Sam Smith, pity his leathers are grubby though.:niceone:

[White trash]

Then there was this shot. Are you posing for the camera or looking for Drew? :lol:

Lol. Red gloves mate. That was the first race on Sunday and I was in damage control, just trying to finish that one with maximum points. After Neil, Jason and Chris came past like I was standing still I was wondering who was next.

[hXc]

I have these of your bike, but I am not sure if that's you riding?
Nice sequence around a fallen rider :niceone:
That's Speights-Bud riding her bike.
Got any pics of number 12 in Clubmans or F3? It's a red NSR250, with a stonking big 600cc single in it, if that helps. The fuckin' loud one!

Any pics of my new bike thats more suited to my riding ability? number 132 in streetstock?

[jimbo600]

Jimbo any shots of the 125?

No sorry dude. Next time I'm up there come and see me and I'll do some shots for ya.

[Her_C4]

No sorry dude. Next time I'm up there come and see me and I'll do some shots for ya.

What camera and lens set up do you use Jimbo?

[arsnik]

What camera and lens set up do you use Jimbo?

And which eye do you use? I get the feeling your a left eye phog.

[Clivoris]

Nice pics alright. It's great to see the number of snappers out there. I might even be worth taking a pic of once I lose the stealthy grey look? Going a bit faster might help too I s'pose.

[cowpoos]

These are some other pics that I liked the look of :done:

hey man...cool pic of me!! if you have any more can you flick them to cowpoos@xtra.co.nz


BTW..... did anyone else notice the rather illegal telementry looking device on Mr sam smiths bike in kendogs pic???

[hXc]

BTW..... did anyone else notice the rather illegal telementry looking device on Mr sam smiths bike in kendogs pic???All I see is black?

[jimbo600]

What camera and lens set up do you use Jimbo?

If I'm in the car I bring up a Canon5D with a 600mm f4, but its a bigun' so if I'm on the bike then I take the 5D and a 300mm f2.8

Shoot RAW format with everything on manual.

[Nicksta]

hey Jimbo, awesome pics....
did you catch any of Tweety and myself? Yellow VFR#266 in clubmans by chance?

[speights_bud]

Was that yours?
It was awesome! I also have a big single/NSR combo, just as loud and just as mental. its for sale too...

This bike was my ride for the weekend, only got out a couple of times dues to fuel problems. It goes pretty well though, had a ball during the track time i got:)

Kendog, Any chance of having any pics of the red/black number 12 in post classics/Superlite classes?(A)

[Robert Taylor]

hey man...cool pic of me!! if you have any more can you flick them to cowpoos@xtra.co.nz


BTW..... did anyone else notice the rather illegal telementry looking device on Mr sam smiths bike in kendogs pic???

It is NOT telemetry, it is suspension datalogging equipment that we download and view in the pits. In fact we only briefly viewed this once during the entire weekend.

[jimbo600]

hey Jimbo, awesome pics....

If it aint in the gallery I didn't get you sorry.

oh...right o then!!! my mistake...but the question is....is it legal sir?

[Robert Taylor]

oh...right o then!!! my mistake...but the question is....is it legal sir?

To be brutally honest I really dont know. But it was out in the open for all to see, unlike say illegal cam profiles etc.

Sam ( as was Craig ) was there for no other reason than a very first shakedown run and roughing out suspension settings, any race ''results'' were ''irrelevant''. In Sams case we seem to have nailed 90% of the roughing out on account of the Yam having a very good swingarm and link design, in Craigs case 80% and only just by the last race. LOTS of horsepower trying to tie a rear end in knots on throttle application is a real challenge, beyond external clicker and spring setting changes.

The logger would have been of much greater help on Craigs beast.

to be honest I think its not legal at national level...not sure bout club scene...and yer...I don't really think anyone there would be paticulary worried either as either would have made similar results reguardless!! and yeah...craig sure did have the rear complaining about find a spot on the tarmac that could handle it!! man that bike could boogie!!

ps: thanks for your help in the weekend robert!! much appreciated as always!! and same to kerry!!

Unfortunately not, sorry.

I will look for other peoples pics tomorrow.

[Kendog]

Any pics of 125 #132,

Here you go.

[Kendog]

Good save paddy!

Any of #50 SS? (Streetstock)

And for you.

[Kendog]

Any pics of my new bike thats more suited to my riding ability? number 132 in streetstock?

Only a couple of you, sorry dude.

[Kendog]

hey Jimbo, awesome pics....

His pics are awesome, but they are in his thread :doh:
Here are some of you.

[sAsLEX]

It is NOT telemetry, it is suspension datalogging equipment that we download and view in the pits. In fact we only briefly viewed this once during the entire weekend.

Datalogging would be classed as Telemetry in my books.


Telemetry is a technology that allows the remote measurement and reporting of information of interest to the system designer or operator.

Some examples of useful measurements on a race car include accelerations (G forces) in 3 axes, temperature readings, wheel speed, and the displacement of the suspension.

I would be careful about using it before having it scrutinised by MNZ. Though the off-line non real time access you speak of might mean its legal? An interesting point though .....

[Kendog]

Kendog, Any chance of having any pics of the red/black number 12 in post classics/Superlite classes?(A)

Sorry, but didn't have any of you.

[arsnik]

His pics are awesome, but they are in his thread :doh:
Here are some of you.

Hey kendog, Nice pictures, well some of them. I\'m not interested in what type of camera you use, nor am I interested if you have any pictures of me.

What I am interested in is, What eye you use for taking photos, How you stand, what are your thoughts of using digital? How does it make you feel out there? Do you ever feel the Zen of photography?

And why would you out there on your bike?

[k14]

Datalogging isn't illegal in club racing. Only in nationals. At club racing its F1, F2 etc not the same rules as superbikes/supersport for nationals. Just the same as a 250GP bike riding in F2 or 125 in F3. At nationals thats not allowed but no rules in club racing against it.

[Nicksta]

His pics are awesome, but they are in his thread :doh:
Here are some of you.
thank you Mr KD.....
very cool pics... :)

[koba]

Kendog, Any chance of having any pics of the red/black number 12 in post classics/Superlite classes?(A)

Yeah, I was one of the guys who came and tried to help ya start at one point.

Have Never quite got my one (see profile pic) running right, they are soo sensitive to anything wrong with only one cylinder but its also the best way to learn!

[koba]

Only a couple of you, sorry dude.

haha, nope, thats the 125gp that has the same number in the same race, wish I was on that one!

All good tho, the pics you do get are awesome and I'm sure everyone apperciates It alot coz I sure do!

[Bronza]

[Kendog]

Oops :o
Let's try that again, pretty sure this is you.

[Kendog]

Is this the right bike?

[cowpoos]

Is this the right bike?
thats the slow bugger alright!!

[Kendog]

Hey kendog, Nice pictures, well some of them. I\'m not interested in what type of camera you use, nor am I interested if you have any pictures of me.

What I am interested in is, What eye you use for taking photos, How you stand, what are your thoughts of using digital? How does it make you feel out there? Do you ever feel the Zen of photography?

And why would you out there on your bike?

A bit of a strange lot of questions, but here are your answers anyways.
What eye you use for taking photos Right eye.
How you stand Sit mostly otherwise front on.
what are your thoughts of using digital? Digital is great. Easy to practice with.
How does it make you feel out there? Feels good being that close to the bikes.
Do you ever feel the Zen of photography? The Zen comes when I and others enjoy the pictures.
And why would you out there on your bike? If that means why was I not out there on my bike. It's cause I only have the money for one bike and it is my transport. I can't afford to race it or buy a race bike.

[Keystone19]

I don't suppose you have any of bike 219 in F3 or F2? Black SV with a red leather clad chick on top...

[Kendog]

thats the slow bugger alright!!
Here are some more then.

[cowpoos]

I don't suppose you have any of bike 219 in F3 or F2? Black SV with a red leather clad chick on top...

Awesome camera work - well done. Will PM you regarding getting high res copy of that pic of "161" (my son Troy/Gunner).

[Bronza]

Thank you. The Photos are great.

She said black SV not Silver.

[skelstar]

Those are some great photos (again) Nigel. I love the way that KS19's bike is framed. Reckon its worthwhile mixing it up a bit like that eh?

Cheers.
This is the original image. I like the shot, but cropping it gives the bike more impact I think.

[skelstar]

Yeah, I'm a super novice I'm wondering if the bike should have space to ride into rather than out of? Bit like the below pic that you took and I cropped a bit. Having said that I think theres too much space to the right of the bike (feel free anyone to click on it and buy my bike).

<a href="http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=118662629"><img src="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/14/44183114_full.jpg" /></a>

[Keystone19]

Thanks Nigel - it's a great shot! Way better than Mr Poos attempt!

What is that by the way Mr Poos?

[skelstar]

What is that by the way Mr Poos?
Its a chick?

I can't speak for poos tho. If I could then I would say: "thats a fricken chick chick!!!! ...jeez? Wheres my fan club lets buy me beer!.......... ............"

[koba]

Oops :o
Let's try that again, pretty sure this is you.

MAte, those photos are absolutley superb!

Thanks heaps!

Nice plug :niceone:

I agree with the ride into space thing, being a novice as well it's all trial and error.
Sometime the ride into space can be odd if the rider is more interested in check out the camera man :yes:
