brickkicker my main track is Oulton Park but I've also been to Donington and Knockhill. I also plan to go to Thruxton this year.
SolemHill you mentioned contacts for Oulton Park, would these be the same people to contact about my bike photos? (or could they point me in the right direction) I have a few photos from a Club meeting I went to ( Bemsee, the second photo I posted is one of them) Maybe I could try and contact someone at Oulton Park about them??? Brickkicker, bloody good picture please don't post any more, you're putting mine to shame

brickkicker, how did you get your picture to scan so sharp? The originals of my photos are ok but when I scan them the end result is what I've posted on the previous page, your pic is very sharp, what am I doing wrong?? (maybe it's my scanner!!!! orrrrr, a good workman never blames his tools!!!)ha ha....

I used a film scanner (slide scanner) these can be picked up at a reasonable price (second hand or brand new) you can scan in at much higher resolution although I think that one is a bit dark (especialy round by his foot bloody sun)if you use a slide scanner or normal scanner use it in its highest setting then if you need to make it smaller you can do, try using something like adobe photoshop 5, 6 or 7 these are good when you get the basics sorted.

Knockhill is a fantastic place for taking photo, us less privileged can get just about as close to the action as the people with passes, enjoy TCL, I love the place....

Yeh, having been to Croft I was dissapointed at the lack of photo opportunites, or maybe it's because I'm regularly at Knockhill.

You must've been near me that day, I was standing up the straight there, just near the access road from the paddock to the track.

Probably my first and last visit to a BSB race as well, as Knockhill is rumoured to be losing the race next year as they can't afford it, something along those lines.

Stuart Gray (circuit manager) said that they may lose next years race on the Knockhill forum.
I have also heard that the BTCC race is not safe, there are 10 rounds this year, 10 next year, although Rockingham will be added next year meaning one round will have to be dropped, although it may be one of the two weekends that the BTCC visits Brands that is dropped. Apparently Knockhill facilities aren't up to standard.

Ohhhh, the bogs aren't posh enough!!!! Rockingham is PANTS!!!! Well, IMHO,please don't loose Knockhill, for spectating it's fantastic, Rockingham is miles away from the circuit, does that add to atmosphere? I don't think so!!

Well, I'm back from a rather soggy Knockhill! It was pouring from just before the Sprint Race, and I didn't really manage to experiment with the aperture settings as it was so dull I needed as much light in the lens as possible.
Having taken a full spool of BTCC Cars, I went to rewind the film, when it snapped. I think it's because I took one too many pictures!!! I tried my best to get the film back in the spool under the cover of a bag, I'm going to ask the developers if anything can be salvaged, but I doubt it. However, all was not lost and I proceded to take another spool in the Feature event, albeit not being able to experiment because of the weather conditions, again. I shall see how bad they are on Tuesday! Last edited by touringlegend; 11 Aug 2002 at 22:43. |

knockhill was too wet. all that flippin' way for a formula renault race that lasted for 8 laps. got some good formula ford ones though, and hopefully a couple of touring car shots.
it's a nice circuit from the point of view of the spectator who wants to take pictures. it could do with a few more NICE toilets and some decent showers... not the rain kind either. lovely views! |
