Hey Joe - welcome aboard. There are some other Pentax people here - so you should feel right at home. I wouldn't mind seeing some of those drag race shots.

Hey Joe,
I can't imagine shooting drag racing with a MF camera although I bet the enlargements would have been awesome. I'd love to get one of the newer ones but the AF is still lagging too far behind for my liking. Jamie

StudioJ Wrote:Hey Joe, Hi Jamie, I took alot of shots with the Pentax 6x7 and 400mm f4.0 handheld using Kodachrome 64 120 @ 1/1000 sec and f4.0 like the gold funny car on my new blog . It's about as large a combimation you can use handheld but I had no choice from were I was taking the racing shots standing next to a 3ft high cement wall next to the track and had to move out of the way right after the shot was taken.

Ok It looks like its my turn in line.
My Name is Dan, I live in Australia, Always have, And im as Aussie as you can get  Being a Bit of an Natural All round artist (master of none) Photography was actually one of the Last Hobbies/ Arts ive taken up. Oddly I seem to have the Most talent in also  I started out in 35mm film back in 94 While studying for a Diploma in Visual Arts. I was planning to follow a career in Graphic Design, but later decided against the idea, and focussed my attention onto Photography. Thats basically HOW that all came about. My interests: First.... Cars, Hot Rods, Street Rods, Trucks, Street Strip, Any thing really that separates the Cars from the Norm of factory. Bikes...... Offroad mostly, Moto-X, trials, Super-X, Club days, Choppers, (Custom Bikes) And the Odd Road beasts Oh And Cars........... Did I happen to mention Cars!  My equipment consist of a Manual Canon AE-1, 50mm 1.4f. Vivatar 135mm 3.5f (hardly used now) And My entry into Digital, Canon PowerShot A300. Which Ive owned for about a yeah and am already looking to upgrade back to the SLR format. (Oh how I miss it) And Id love a EOS 300D

byrt_001 Wrote:hi welcome That Crisp Click-et sound of a well engineered Piece of Photographic equipment, Yesssssssss  And for many years I had led a life that had me believe that I was alone loving that sound. (How will Digital ever replace it?) Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be sure to post up some images I've got floating around for review. I'll be interested in hearing what every one has to say? Regardless of the years I've been doing it I'm still an Amateur. And Id be very interested in knowing everyones thoughts.

Nice work Petographer. Hmmm, we could be looking over each others sholders to see what the other's up to from time to time
There's some very nice looking American Iron there. Seeing the sharpness, is realy making me feel the Pinch with my 'Oh So Basic' A300! I have'nt seen every Gallery as yet. But for what little I have seen about there is some Talented Shooters in here! Dan
