Drive in the County

I've not posted here for a very long time but thought I'd post up these from last Sunday's outing with the camera mount. All with the K3 and DA 10-17 fisheye.

Love the motion in these

Nice... partic like the pov of the second... the splashes off the wheel on the first give a lovely sense of speed...

Best...

Unusual images these and they work well. I would be frightened about a stone hitting the lens !

Forgot to say! Welcome back Simon

Thanks all for the comments, and the re-welcome Gareth, I probably ought to post here more than the US site. Not that I post much there either.

I wish I had had time to move the camera mount around a bit more for some variety, and really wanted a shot firing backwards from the front quarter, but the weather got the better of me and I hadn't packed the longer mount rods need. So I only shot from two positions meaning only the amount of mud or scenery really changed. I was only shooting at around 1/15 - 1/20 so the speeds could be lower, so less risk to the camera than it might appear.
Weather permitting I'm going to try something similar but a bit more dynamic (and hopefully cleaner) on the little Abarth next weekend - the K3 and mount will probably double it's weight

Here's a few more...

More mud on the lens, but I quite like this one.



shortly after yet another rain shower.



A bit of variation having the wheel turned, (but more chance of lens damage:shock



Managed to get the house, but annoyingly must have knocked the focus off the car slightly.



Needed to mind the bullocks!

Interesting viewpoints here. The second and third of the second set work best for me, as does the bullock and tree reflection of the very last one.

I know these are car rig images so the camera is sitting further back on a boom arm but the process is very similar. Don a ND filter on to stretch the exposure and push the car slowly. The illusion of speed and motion is there but the reality is the car is being pushed for circa 5-10 seconds. Pushing the car means the gear is safer and also gives less vibrations so sharper images
