    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I don't understand how anyone can take a picture while moving at speed especially with how finicky today's phones are about gloves and just hitting the button.

REDMAN for me though

This image photographed on a Closed Course, with a trained stunt driver, do not attempt.:rolleyes: Yeah, not my brightest idea.
 
Trevor, Rich and Baatfam posted solid pics. Even with the distracting peripheral elements, this voter thinks Redman summed it up best.

Technical question for you, Sandy: Can you compare the merits of broccolli rubberbands to the aparagas rubber bands?

and... while you are on the closed circuit track with the trained stunt personnell, who or what is holding the camera?

I don't understand how anyone can take a picture while moving at speed especially with how finicky today's phones are about gloves and just hitting the button.. . . . . .
Inexpensive point-shoot digital camera has a mechancal button on top, carry camera in opened tank bag easy to pull camera out with left hand (*), hold camera around its back with it facing forward, fingers on top and thumb on bottom (**), one finger on the button, maybe can see screen a little bit but dont really take much time-effort posing the scene, take a few shots each in slightly diferent direction, maybe one will be good . . . . . . OR stop on side of road.

(*) and say to self "if I fumble it, it is gone, dont try to grab to make a recovery".
When I first had a digital camera, I did fumble it once on the bike, and let it fall. Did go back and find it in the ditch. Case has popped open and circuit boards hanging out. My first thought (from years of film cameras) was "Oh, no, all my photos have been exposed to light and ruined."

(**) or you can pretend you are 30 or less and hold camera vertically, even if the scene is horizontal.

Voting for Dave Redman this week.
Broccoli bad, asparagus good. LOL. As for camera and pictured GPS I always have them tethered just in case of an opps. The GPS is actually mounted with that hard plastic similar to velcro.
