Anglefire Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I was at Hockenheim the other week as I have said elsewhere - I didn't think there were many Triumphs there - but there actually were a fair few. I'm still going through the shots I took - but also have another couple of events to sort too as well as being busy at work (And not at home ) So a small sample of pictures (TBH the views are fairly good for spectating, but not great for photos - unlike Spa which is fab!) # Not a Triumph, but I liked the shot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Did you have an opportunity to walk out into the forest to the Jim Clark memorial? Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Unfortunately not. I went with work and there wasn't time - for several reasons, I'll not go into in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham C Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hello Mark Very good pictures, what camera and len do you use? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi Graham, I mostly used my canon 1Dx and a 300mm f2.8 L IS with a canon 2x Mk3 converter - I think the last one I had my 100-400mk2 on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Mark - Nice, I have been using 2xCanon 5d mk1 for the past few years. Nice but not as nice as the various 1D models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I still have my first dslr- 350d though not used for years - I sold my 5d mk1 - stunning camera but canon sat on their laurels for too long and lost out to Nikon. Still have my 1d mk3 - good camera but has issues - which i didn’t really know about - or worked around I suppose - until I got the 1Dx. It’s noise control is amazing. Given the right subject iso 25600 is usable. The 350d is pushed at 1600 😂 Though it worked well enough in Barcelona several years ago. https://www.mark.colston-online.co.uk/Barcelona/index.html#img=IMG_9360.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I had a d10 (not a 10d), it was like a brick. Then some toe-rag walzed with that and 2 x 10ds lens and most of my other kit. Cost the insurance a hell of a lot that day. Make sure you're insurex new for old. Its worth it. The great thing is that you know how to use them too. Stunning work.

Anglefire Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’m pretty well insured - though not all is new for old - but enough to cover replacement (a few lenses I bought second hand - but the stuff I got new is new for old. Trouble is it soon mounts up - camera insurance is well over twice the spitfire! I had to claim last year when I dropped my 100-400 out of my bag in America. Impressed with the insurance company (aaduki). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Used Towergate then. New for old. When I asked them what allowance should I make for 2nd hand stuff bought off ebay they said we don't work that way, list everything nicked and send us a list with 3 quotes to replace. Absolutely gob-smacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I can do new for old on everything. But choose not to. I have to declare anything over £1k with serial numbers - sensible for them and seems fair enough. Just looked at the total insured - pretty frightening - £21k 😳 I also have £2M of public liability insurance as I do the occasional commercial shoot - and shoots for other people (recently did one for my daughters friends uni course) part of which was in a public park.

Colin Lindsay Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I like the headlights on that TR7.... any idea of how it's done or looks like from the other side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I have no idea - didn't see it in the pits - was a slightly weird weekend and had less time at the track than I would have prefered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
