Re: Big EARS 2006 Photos

That smoke trail looks a bit... er... spirally. Just finished a
loop-the-loop?

Hi all,

Just to say that I've uploaded my Big EARS photos to:

http://www.rokits.org/gallery/BigEARS2006

Unfortunately due to (yet another) hacking attack, I can no longer run
PHP scripts (i.e. gallery) on my 'BITS' website. However, thanks to
Martin Sweeney a new website is under way.

The photos are a little grainy/noisy in places, due to the poor light I
was shooting at ISO800, which is usable but noticably grainier than ISO
100-400. Also, I had some issues with overexposure on some shots, hence
resorting to my old trick of 'auto levels' in Photoshop, which will
sometimes bring out the details even if the colours go a bit strange.

I need to do some more experimentation, but this time I ended up
leaving the autofocus 'on' while shooting, focus seems to have been
more consistent as the rockets moved away from the camera. I noticed a
few other 350D's at Big EARS :-)

If anyone wants to use the photos on their website (etc etc), feel
free, just give me a credit line on your site :-)

My personal favourites are:

(There is no polite way to describe that motor. To quote Jeremy
Clarkson on the Bugatti Veyron, "It's a *beep* and it goes like a
*beep* *beep* ;-) )
