the drop over the edge of this slope is about the same as the suicide run at SB QUARRY only a little steeper

I need a new challenge

[muddypluka]

i though that would catch you imagination marlbororman there are defanatly some challenging drops and hills to play on and you can even drive through the back of a hgv trailer there is a water splash thats about 30 feet long as well for those of us that like to make a splash

[muddypluka]

Actually, an official dedicated camera person would be a good idea.

[sugarbabe1976]

I'm not to bad at piccys but I just can't figure out my camera but I don'r mind if someone points me in the right direction!!

[haplessboylard]

You cant figure out your own camera?

Which bit?

[sugarbabe1976]

As long as I point and press that works fine I can't figure out the night thing and which setting fro which occasion??

[haplessboylard]

Night shot has never been any good on any camera ive ever seen.

Sport mode is good if its bright. Anything other that bright direct sunshine wont get you a good pic.

Macro mode (if you have it) is good for close up photos, and at longer distances can be used to achieve a good depth of field.

Above all, experiment, it wont cost you anything with a digital cam.

[sugarbabe1976]

True I tried the sport mode when we went on the fording run but by the time it had sorted itself out and took the pic the cars had gone through.

could always take you for a ride down a certain hill

[haplessboylard]

Hmmmm, auto focus, the baine of my life.

If you need to get a good focus quickly, point your cam at an object near where the car will be in your intended frame, hold the buttom down slightly - this should get focus ready - then hold the button there, and once the car is in frame completely press the button down all the way.
