As I'm sure a lot of you know, WADRIFT Round 1 was on at Barbagallo Raceway this weekend. It was a great day of drifting, even though we had a little bit of rain later in the day and as usual Steve and I were out in the sun shooting photos and video.

I've just finished putting the photos up and Steve will be working on the video editing through the week, though no promises on when it'll be done.

As always, all photos are available as prints or high resolution digitals and we've got additional photos of most cars that didn't "make the cut" if you're interested.

Prints are available anywhere from 6x4" right up to 30x48", so if you're interested you can email us at [email protected] - we're still working on putting together a full online ordering system at the moment, so email is the way to go!

You can see the full gallery here, but here are some highlights:

Oh great stuff, glad you like them!

I should really make the effort to come along to some more events, it's been ages since I've done anything with SAUWA! :(

Hi Levi, Driver Training on the 31st, come along :ninja:

I'll try my best to come down and shoot a few pics, maybe even do a video.

will be getting in touch with you about the 3 photo battle sequence you got of me against my team mate

Great, just let me know your car numbers and I'll dig up any of the shots I have.

I didn't think the rain would last very long, so I stood there trying to wait it out. Needless to say, both my camera and I got very wet. Thank god for weather sealing! ;)

For the panning shots, get a decently long lens (150mm or more) set your camera to Tv (shutter speed priority mode) then set your shutter speed to somewhere around 1/150th of a second. Set your cameras focusing mode to continuous/sports/servo and then as the cars drive past, pick a spot on the car (I usually use a headlight or door mirror) and try to pan with the car keeping a focus point over that part of the car. Then, pick and choose your shots (don't just machine gun for the whole pass or your camera will probably struggle to get good focus and you'll find it hard to track the motion smoothly).

When I'm feeling brave (or I'm using a lens with IS) I'll go as far as 1/60th of a second, but usually I find myself hanging around 1/100th.

Mrs has a 1D, what lens would you recommend for motorsport?

Depends on your budget, but the 70-200mm f/4L IS is great for motorsports (image stabilization makes things much easier). if you're looking for a little more reach, try the 300mm f/4L IS or 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS.

The mrs has a "raincoat" for her camera, she tried using it to protect against paint spray but it's too hot in summer so she only pulls it out when it's going to rain.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
