Here's a place I can post pictures without creating a bunch of new threads for each one. Feel free to post your own, if you want.

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA. I took this on Saturday before the MotoGP races on top of the highest hill there.

You can't see the straight away heading into turn 1 from there, can you?

Did you stay to see the race (Hayden's win)?

Post by: Alphamazing on September 28, 2005, 10:35:39 AM
You can't see the whole straight going into Turn 1, but I like Turn 2 better (the hairpin). I stayed for the whole race, and was stationed at the Corkscrew for the last two days, pretty much. I walked around everywhere on Day 1 and the beginning of Day 2. Day 3 I was stuck at the corkscrew in direct sunlight for 9 hours straight with no wind. It was worth every minute. Those MotoGP bikes sound absolutely intoxicating.

That is the exact same picture that was used in an Acropovic (I think) add right after the race.  That picture is everywhere.  So cool.

I'm very jealous.

Great pic.  Too bad you left your ratty ass hand in the frame! :lol:

Psh. Both my hands were on the camera. That was some jerk in front of me. I'm glad that I had the oppourtunity to take the picture, instead of using some company picture, too.

Depending on my monetary situation at the time, yes; I definitely want to go back. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Hopefully I'll be able to get a camping spot in the park, rather than at Toro next time.

Stuck running errands today, so I only have pics from just outside of work.

This is a break from heavy rain, so pic #1 involved rather a lot of mud.  The rear tire preceded me out of the spot.

Ooooo.... Pretty. I really really like that first shot. It's cool how that tree is pretty much the only obvious one with color in it. I see there are a few in the back,  but not too obvious.

The second one is nice because it has snow, which I never see.

A small group of local riders went to a car show/swap meet. I brought along my camera so that I could take pictures and get used to it (still learning photography after all).

Here are some of my favorites:

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b123/AlphaFire_X5/Photography/5568234-R1-041-19.jpg)

The first one is my favorite picture of the bunch. Completely untouched, I love the colors, depth of field, and how old the picture looks.

Well, it isn't like I had much of a choice with my camera, it was free! The A-1 was my father's old camera from back in the 70s, and it's just worked its way through the family to me. What I think is also helping make me a better photographer is this photography class I'm taking. That's what these pictures are for, really.

Next project is "disturbances", where we put stuff at the edges of the frame. So basically proper "artistic" framing of shots.

Holy thread revival!

I went to Big Bend last January and brought along my camera.

Before I went to Big Bend, I went to the US MiniGP races at Iron Rock Raceway near the airport in Austin, TX. Pocket bikes, mini motards, and mini bikes like the Honda NSR50 and Yamaha YSR50.

Small pictures, link to the big ones and the rest of the set at the bottom.

More recently, however, I stopped by Texas World Speedway in College Station to watch the races held by Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing (CVAR).

I recently joined the school's water ski team, and we had a tournament a couple weekends back.
