Photo Competition (BOS)

**Big Dave** · 12th February 2008, 21:55

OK KB shutterbugs, here's the deal.

I'm covering this weekend's 'Battle of the Streets' Racing at Paeroa for KR and can share some of the wealth.

I have a 6 month subscription to the mag - (or whatever freebies Deano is giving away with new subs if you are already subscribed) for the image the Ed and I choose to call the winnah.

It will be properly credited and reproduced as a half page in mah report. (depending on quality)

To enter:

Post a 1024 x 768 jpeg of your best shot of the day - with the name of the shots clearly stated in the body of the message - maximum of four photos ONLY per photographer - in this thread.

It would be good if you can supply the shot at around 2000pixels or better if you win.

I'll look at all shots on their merits.

Ah yes but it's BOTS in disguise, hence BOS.

Unless the principle of omitting the small words in an acronym is enforced in which case is should be BS.

hmmmm you omits them if they dont make your acronym sound cool.

For those utter amateur photo takers , what sort of F and exposure times would be good, going with a bright sunny day and being about 40 feet from the bikes??

Or auto all the way?

I get a few solid solid shots in the bank first - fastest shutter speed - highest ISO - then start slowing down and get arty once secure.

The amount of speed blur on the wheels and toothpaste in the background tell the speed tale.

It's also not 'just' an action shot I'm looking for. Maybe it's a babe - or a pit stop?

Great - thread moved to where it's nicely hidden.

It's not actually about racing - it's about photography competition

what about move it here after the races.

You obviously have no idea about round here, hence the mods corrected your idea on where you wanted the thread!
