Cars and Girls.........both fun to photograph, both expensive to play with,
and they can both get you in so much trouble. Enjoy both every chance you
get though. We only go around once.

Subject: Re: [OM] ( OM ) using long lenses images of Indy are now posted
on the net
Thanks for the plug Brian,
I have just got around to posting some of the images from Indy
http://home.iprimus.com.au/boldbolty/index.htm
The two images Brian is talking about are;
The first is taken with a Sigma 400mm f5.6 at 1/125 sec at f11 on Fuji
Superia 400 print film
http://home.iprimus.com.au/boldbolty/pages/Indy
%20Murphy.htm
And the second shot shows where I was taking the photos from
http://home.iprimus.com.au/boldbolty/pages/indy010.htm
As you can see, there is a fence and wall to the right (so it is very hard
to pan with the car because they come out so quickly from behind this blind
corner) and then to the left you have the palm trees (second most difficult
part is to take the shot before they disappear behind the palm foliage).
Cheers Adam
