From memory that wasn't the case at Cadwell Park?? I thought it was quite mesh free?

Yes, Cadwell Park is delightful, almost no mesh, very spectator and photographer friendly. Or it was last time I was there.

LOL!

Not sure the Mini's would cope with that terrain! :lol:

Well after my second whole day at Rockingham I have taken over 1300 exposures and been awarded a temporary media access to the pit wall.

The camera is working well. I got bored of the one bit of track I could get to.

Posting this from my iPhone for now. Will post some pics on Monday when I get back.

Well done Robert.
I knew it was just a question of asking.

Well not so much of asking I was collared by a pit marshal and almost slung out! They agreed to give me a discretionary pass until I get paperwork sorted but the lady who dealt with it didn't see a problem. If the team manager had the insurance with him I would have got a full pass today.

I have had some problems with my use of the D3 today. I can't work out what settings to use for the AF, I have it on continuous but not sure which back setting is best. 3D seems all over the place, what I want is the AF to lock onto the Car as it comes closer, while I am panning very fast, following the car as the car travels across my field of view. Most cases it works but sometimes it doesn't. I have tried several settings but not sure what's best.

Also I am getting confused by the exposure counter. One seems to count up and the other down. But they don't add up to the expected total of exposures from a 32Gb CF card the first card has about 1,000 images on it, the second card has about 375 images and 350 space remaining, about 725 in total, which seems about 275 out?

Both cards are 32Gb and freshly formatted.

Almost down to 100 exposures remaining...

I have turned off constant shutter. Single exposures only now. Two more races to cover, just hope it it holds out till the end. Next race about 5pm then last race about 7.

Need to understand where the card capacity has gone, I seem to have lost about 350 exposures capacity on one card.

I will run it it out at the end to see what happens.

Need to download to laptop then reformat the CF catds in camera.

Don't have laptop with me...

Doh! Not used to having two card slots, the second card was untouched, I seem to have about 1800 exposures on one card, now I have gone onto second card.

I thought I had two 4Gb spare cards with me but I must have left them at home. I think I have a lot of good pix so the team will be happy with me, hopefully.

THey have had two wins, and a second and fourth over two days, so it's been a good weekend. Off for a slap up meal at Burger King in a minute or two when the cars are loaded into the transporter.
