You're the only one :cry: :rofl:

And yup, that's Laguna Seca, the pic is close to what I think it looked like yesterday :dunno: I don't want to state it unequivocally, 'cause then I'll get people posting colour samples and criticizing my post-processing technique :/

nice pics...but too bad your post processing of the colour sucks. it doesn't take into account the colour temp. of my display. :bigpimp:

I was shooting at 200 ISO, TV mode at 1/60th or 1/80th speed with whatever aperture that the camera set for those speeds (I had sun out for some pics, others were cloudy, so it varied).

When I figure out how to keep ALL of the car in focus (as opposed to just a section of as in most pics) and get better at panning, I'll be able to make desktop sized photographs :D

Official BMW Driver Training program specifically prohibits helmets on their 3rd stage 2 day track event, for example :/ On yesterdays event many people did use helmets, but they were not required. BMWCA does require helmets for all track days. It varies by the organizer, I guess.

Me being in a noob group, I prefer no helmets anyway.

You do know what sort of risk you run by not wearing a helmet, right?

Personally, I will not attend an event unless it's A) a parade lap where speed is clearly controlled or B) Helmet requirements are clearly enforced.

If the organizer allow you to go on the track sans helmet, it just shows me that they don't give a rat's @ss about your safety.

Sorry for jacking the thread, but you never know when you're going to lose it, and when you do lose it, if you do it at the track the consequences are a lot more catastrophic.
