Slim Pickens posted:I wanted to try out slow motion stuff but had a lot of shake from a sticky tripod. Not sure if it's just a crap tripod, but you may want to just try and loosen up the locking nuts a bit. Photo tripods are really built for holding still instead of smooth motion, but if you loosen everything up a bit you can pan and tilt a bit smoother. A tripod specifically made for video cameras is a huge improvement though.

Anyone have the video of I'm pretty sure it was Colin Edwards' bike catching fire during a race?

Slim Pickens posted:I think I'm gonna give Pacific Raceway a call and see if It's cool to tape in the infield. That's where I'd get the best shots. It's a huge waiting game at highway 7 before someone comes through that has clear traffic and a set of balls. You should go out to Pacific GP and get some slomo motards. You just missed a race this weekend, the next one is on October 18th.

I sent the media manager for Pacific raceway an email asking about shooting from the infield, and she wanted to know if I'd also be interested in taping cars and drag racing. I told her sure and to give me a call. Taping sumos would be fun too. Anyways, I went for a ride today and took along the CountourHD. I ended up seeing the guy on the kawasaki from my other video and followed him a few times. That kid can ride. Video quality kinda sucks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKZwUNc2QBQ Also, can anyone explain what the deal is with this video distortion? I was doing about 115 at the fastest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO485yAVPx4

Shutter wobble. Different parts of the image sensor are exposed at different times so when the camera vibrates at high enoguh frequency it is actually pointing in slightly different directions while completing a full exposure.

What do you mean by carby's? If it's music, then yeah, I could probably use some license-free music for this if it turns into a bigger side job. Edit: Car-by's explained, thanks. Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Sep 16, 2009 |

T-Square posted:Holy poo poo, that's a huge class. Or is that amatuers and experts combined? Huge class. There's another 15 or so riders behind me as well. At it's peak, the F4/650T class had 60 entries.

I get it but more from the offset that bumps cause, with better mounting it'd go away. Content: My wednesday:

 Look, its a baby R6, in all its "I'll only do 84mph downhill while banging off the limiter!" glory. Hopefully going to get some better pictures over the weekend from around the TT track, if the weather plays nice.

It's a GSX-R perch on an SV, long story, and while it fits me perfectly, it moves out a bit more from the bar than standard. Jack the Smack posted:Where the hell is your windshield!? I broke it with my face at buttonwillow at the start of race season. Blew off the track, tried to save it, the front dug in and I went headfirst through the windshield. I've posted this pic of my helmet before, I think...  The other photo that I like from this weeks trackdays:

8ender posted:Without the windshield it looks like you're wearing the front fairing like some sort of weird basketball jersey. More than the clown car paint job, more than anything else that I have on my trackbike, the first thing that everyone comments on is that I don't run a windshield. I'd buy another one, but ducati tax isn't something I thought about when buying duc fairings. I checked awhile back and couldn't find a clear windshield for under 60$ and just decided that it could wait. Of course, then my friends doing race announcing couldn't comment on it too...gotta give them something to talk about while the racing is boring.
