Fujairah DMX Photos - 13th August 2010
« on: August 14, 2010, 04:27:02 PM »

I spoke to Ferret as I was driving up to Fujairah last night and he said he didn't expect to see my photos from the night on the 'net for 6 months.  :P So here they are, precisely 13 hours after I got home - most of which have been spent processing these or cleaning obscene amounts of crud off my camera and lenses. Unfortunately SLR cameras, not matter how expensive they are, cannot be hosed down after the event. More's the pity. Time will tell if I have some expensive repair bills to face  :deal:  :bawling:

Overall I'm happy with these, though I was a bit hampered because I didn't have the ideal lens for the night with me. It is back in the UK (also for repair). Expensive bloody hobby this!





"When the $hit hits the lens"




"It were a bit muddy like"




I love the shots like this - but guess what's heading my way. I need a raincoat.




Always trying to make 'similar' shots look just a little different - else I get bored of them.




You should know me by now - I've got to have my artistic interlude.







The start of the big race.




And the end - I just knew this was coming so at least I was ready for it.





Right Sir Ferret, the gauntlet is down. I'm in the UK for the next Fujairah event so you Sir will have to step into my somewhat muddy shoes. You have a time of 13 hours to beat for a gallery of 49 pictures   :duel:   

Plenty more pictures here; www.slrpm.com. Orders for prints gratefully accepted - I need the money for the repair bills  ;D

Awesome photo's Tim!! Thanks so much for coming down to take them - it was great to see you (although by the end of the evening I am not sure if it was you underneath all that mud!!)

My pleasure Jayne, though my wife has decided she won't be coming out to watch any more motocross at 1 am with me! :-*

First thing on my shopping list in a European camera store next week is a decent rain (read 'mud') guard for the camera and lens. Yes you can do it with a plastic bag but there are custom made covers that make access to the controls much easier. Naturally they cost an arm and a leg - but a lot less than a repair.

I'll have to see if they make a "protect your flashguns form over enthusiastic water bowser operators" cover too. There were no disasters at the weekend - but it was close  :eek:
