Well... Like most of you guys know I'm a true racefan, and a photo addict.
I can look for hours at photoseries of races! And I can amuse myself very good just by photographing slotcars so I came up with an idea.

Well my thought was... maybe we could do a little topic about photographing our slotcars in a way you found on internet of the 1:1 version of the racecar... or even better... a photo you took at a race... If we like it, maybe it's an idea for the next photocompetition?

I have a small example. It's not very good, because I did it last night in the garage, and we have very bad lighting there at the moment, and the wife had allready asked where I was (you know the situation... i'm there... in five...

). And I didn't take the time to put sand over the thingy where the figure stands on, it all had to go fast... Most of my pictures are from a better quality. But in that way, you'll see what I mean.

What do you think? Not for a competition... but just for the fun of it...

Love the photo! In your picture it is a lot more obvious that the marshall is putting out the fire by peeing on it!

Great idea Gunther - unfortunately I'm sort of "between layouts" just now otherwise I'd give it a go.

Brilliant idea!

I have been trawling the internet for photos to recreate. Watch this space....!

Seriously though, where's the marshall's right hand?? And what is he suppose to be doing?

 

[jnr_seahorse]

Right here is my (feeble) attempt! This is my first attempt at doing something "clever" with slot car photography so please be kind!

 

[astro]

Like it! How about airbrushing some of the clouds of dust in too?

Not quite the same theme. Might try something tomorrow more in keeping with this threads concept.

Hi Gunther.
I better pull you in court you for royalties!!!!

Thanks for using my pictures from Le Mans 2004!

I like it, uksqueeze.

Second shot was taken using only the background from the other shot. The roadway and rumble strip were made using the new water based rubber compound product that is almost ready. Will post a better shot of that later.
The shot was based on the last V8 race at Oran Park for this year.

Nice work guys! Keep adding photo's!
I really like this theme!

I was a little busy with the track this weekend, but I'll try to make some 1:1 based slotrace pics this week!

@ Slotrace.dk:

Thanks for sharing those great pics with us on your site!
Great site by the way! you know how to take a good picture!

Some of my trials: (does it show I love ETCC's?)

To bad I couldn't focus the camera on both the BMW and the Alfa:

(Edit: seeing the pictures under eachother now... I realise they could be much better... I think I'll print out the 1:1 photo and hold it next to the camera when I photograph, instead of running back to the pc all the time...)

A couple of quick efforts from me:
