I ~was~ going to tell you to have a great
weekend/shoot, but then I read your last line.

Bastard!  vbg

Seriously, hava great time, Mark.  I never got around
to seeing your last bunch of racing shots (kept
meaning to open that post, then the modem crash, and
that post got purged in the backlog), so I expect
several hundred great shots to look at when you get
back.

cheers,
frank

Mark,

Too bad you have to play (oops, I mean work) on the weekend!  

It's kind of both: It's certainly very enjoyable on a certain level and
gratifying when it's done, but it is a lot of work and you can't really
enjoy the racing itself (in fact, I often have to get reports on what
actually transpired during the race from others).

Watch out for those orange barrels.
Does digital = ist*D?  

Yep. Plus FA*80-200/2.8 and Sigma EX300/2.8 APO.
Possibly some other lenses will come into play if I do shots in pit lane
or the paddock, but I don't think that's too likely.

How quickly do you have to shoot for these races?

Just quickly enough to upload the files by 5:00 ;-)

'night all. I have to hit the road *early* tomorrow morning!

I'm off for the weekend

2002-07-18 Thread Amita Guha

Heading up to Portville, NY tomorrow for a weekend with Nate's
parents. We're going to the Wellsville balloon festival on Saturday
and I hear that on Monday we're going to Letchworth State Park.
Needless to say, I'm bringing a fair amount of gear with me. Yesterday
I went to Adorama to buy eight rolls of Fuji Superia 200 and 400,
which I had great results with last year.

Catch you guys when I get back!

Hi, Amita,

Oo!

Letchworth State Park!  I've been camping there many times, and it's
gorgeous!  The Grand Canyon of the North, it's sometimes called.  Of
course, it's not ~nearly~ as big, but it is quite lovely.  Bring your
hiking boots, 'cause there are lots of terrific trails going up and down
the gorge.  And, if memory serves correctly (haven't been there for about
10 years), there are three waterfalls along the gorge for some wonderful
photo ops (as if the gorge itself isn't enough).

And if you have the time or inclination, at one end of the Gorge, is the
town of Geneseo, which is very pretty.  Check it out if you have the
chance.

I didn't have a camera the times I went there, so I'm looking forward to
seeing your pics posted.

Sounds like you'll have a great weekend, with the balloon festival thrown
in there too!  Have fun.

regards,
frank
