Rally Finland 2014
Hi, a couple months back I was in Sweden for WRC and this past weekend I went to Finland for the same reason. I was given some advice on panning and shutter speed as most of my action shots from Sweden had the wheels still when obviously the car is moving. I think these turned out a little better.
Only editing done was a quick toss into Photoshop where I hit "Auto" for white balance and things like exposure and so on. I have no idea how to use Photoshop TBH but I think I'm getting the hang of this camera stuff.
A few select photos.
Andreas Mikkelsen on shakedown stage
Mads Ostberg getting some air, shakedown stage
The Finnish forests look like the Swedish ones, just without snow
Kris Meeke had a great weekend, here he is on SS1 Lankamaa
Haydon Paddon getting it around
Already so dirty
Next day we went to Special Stage Karakisto which is a transformed version of the very famous Ouninpoja stage (butchering the spelling).
Tommi Makinen brought a GT86! Nice to see for a BRZ owner
Mikko Hirvonen is my favorite but he's lost all confidence after spending so many years behind Loeb....
Very happy with how things turned out for Meeke, and this photograph
So some background on this; when Juho Hanninen went by I took a peek at the shot I took and noticed he had lost his fender, and turned to everyone I was on the stage with and made a joke about it. Later on I was told he had lost his windshield so I went back, zoomed in, and sure enough I happened to have the shot.
I was very drunk at Paijala stage so not too many came out great
Next day started at Jukojarvi where I was badly bitten by some red ants. My left leg is still sore...
We were very close to the action. On that stage. At the next stage, Leustu, we were even closer....
Kubica
Craig Breen
Mikko taking aim at me
Seb Ogier
