I won't pretend, though, that members of the press don't sometimes loiter deliberately in the TV cameras' firing line. They shall remain nameless...
Not press, but I'll admit to doing that once whilst Top Gear were interviewing Didier Auriol ( I think it was) after he rolled his car on the rally GB. I can just be seen talking to the co-driver

Number 5 (di Resta?)
It's Adrian Sutil. Ted. The clue is the yellow camera housing at the top of the air intake. In each team the car with the lower race number (14 and 15 for Force India) has a black shroud, while the higher one has yellow.
Well, I'd never noticed that! I'll watch for that in the next race.
I was trying to look for the helmet.

I'm going to have to stop looking at your threads....it's getting difficult cleaning the drool off my keyboard.
Love the one of JB, and number 5 ( Di Resta?).

Like the second. IMO Third would have been better if you had the rest of the car in shot.
I do like this set, but I have to disagree...
I think slightly less of the car in shot, maybe cropped at the "k" in "Takata".

I'm very close to just throwing it in the bin, I'm so frustrated,
Don't do that!
Try lightly sanding both the contacts on the battery door ( very lightly) and the ends of the batteries.
It did work for mine, got to be a shot.

Ah! Missed it!
But thanks anyway

Thanks, I can only see a "Slow Sync" option, unless I've not got it in the right mode, or using the right flash.
I have a grey out option which shows what looks like a fast forward double arrow and a flash. But I can't get that to come "live"

I'm still up for it
But best make me last in the chain. As it's for practice it may never get back together, and, if it did, there'd be parts left over

can you share any info of your clone settings
I start off at 100% opacity with a brush size appropriate to the area to be cloned. On this one it would have been around 100 to 120 I think.

Once the rough cloning is complete I usually reduce the opacity to 45% or thereabouts, reduce the brush size and re-do the edges, i.e. where the clone meets the non-cloned area, just to make sure that the edges are invisible.

Brilliant advice! I hadn't thought of going over it a second time to clean the edges.

I hope I'm not being silly here.
I was playing with my K10d and I used the slow sync flash mode.
I had it set to 1 second exposure so I could see how things work, and noticed the flash fires when the shutter first opens.
Is it possible to have the flash fire immediately before the shutter closes instead? ( I'm sure I've read this about other cameras ).
What I've got in mind is a panning shot, but with the subject frozen at the end of the pan.
