DSC Cadwell Trackday Photographs 21/22 Aug 2006

[Guido]

Hi folks……

As the 2006 Ducati Sporting Club 2-day trackday at Cadwell Park is drawing closer, I wanted to take the opportunity to provide people with some clarification as to how I plan to provide photography services during the event.

As I am working this event on my own, there will be some differences to previous years so I felt it best to let people know in advance how things will work.

Sadly, it will be not be possible for me to supply images on the day/s. The logistics involved in taking photographs from every session means I cannot also be in the paddock sorting the images into the respective groups and then showing them to potential clients and selling them. This is the main difference to previous years where the photographer had a team of people helping him take photographs and then market them on the day, with these two activities often occurring as the same time.

My plan is to cover each and every session, attempting to capture each rider within the groups. I will take images from as many locations around the circuit as possible including the paddock. My plan is to use the first session for each group on each day to capture paddock ‘atmospheric’ shots. The reason for this is that most people will be using those early sessions to get used to the track layout more than they will be concentrating on looking good for the camera!!!!! It also means you hopefully get shots of you with your helmets off chatting to mates and preparing your bikes etc….an equally important and memorable part of the proceedings. As mentioned, I will try and capture every rider, but this can sometimes be impossible if you are in the middle of a tight group each time you pass me.

I will sort all of the track based images into the groupings (i.e. fast, inter, novice). The images will be displayed in a pre-designated area on the Cope Images website. This area will be found at www.copeimages.com/cadwelldsc.htm

I envisage that the images will start to emerge on the Cope Images website by close of play on Wednesday 23rd August.

From here you will be able to view low-res samples of the images. Images can be ordered as Jpegs on CD (per rider) or as individual prints. There will be an order form provided on the entrance page to the galleries which can be downloaded prior to image viewing. CD’s will be priced at £30 each. I will aim to provide a minimum of 15 images on the CD. If I don’t get this minimum quantity of images of a particular rider I will reduce the price accordingly for riders who still want Jpegs on CD. Prints can be provided in varying sizes up to A3 (420mm x 297mm). Some basic price/size options will be shown on the order form but as the prints are sourced from a professional photography lab, various options are available and prices can be supplied upon request. All prints are in a ‘glossy’ format and are supplied unmounted and will be despatched in cardboard back envelopes.

I hope that this clarifies things for people interested in photographs.

If you have any queries at all, please contact me.

Kind regards, Guy

Obviously your gonna need a clear head for this one Guido.....so no latrine lurking the night before...

[Redruth]

Sounds great Guy, and a very good idea to let us know in advance how you plan to run things. I've often thought the pictures taken later in the day, once we're in our stride as far as the riding is concerned, would be worth seeing but no-one has ever done that at any track day I've been to. I'm sure your plan will be a great success and I know you'll take terrific photos, having seen your work on here.

[Tonio600]

Guy, I wish you can make me look as good as all those BSB racers... Looking forward to meeting the man as well :)

There's always photoshopprothingamy ... :devil:

[kye]

There's always photoshopprothingamy ... :devil:

It only costs £800, it can't work miracles! :lol:

[Ian]

well done Guy and good luck! We as a Club are really fortunate to have you with your skill.

If you do a get a chance for a group shot for Pronto, (and the calendar that we will do this year, oops did that slip out???) it would be appreciated, although I understand how many miles that you will walk over the 2 days!

Same goes for anybody else there with a camera, picsof people in the paddock etc. It would be good to have a few words from people as well.

[Dominic Clegg]

its fan tastic that your going to photo us your shots on BSB are just amazing and i am real looking forward to seeing your work. hope i can have a beer with you and disscuse your work at BSB round.

look forward to meeting you

[Loz]

I will be really looking forward to the photography for this year's track attack. We are in excellent hands!

I can't wait!

[TP]

Just keep the man away from the booze and a toilet seat and we should get some good pics!

Otherwise ... ;)

:lol:

I might get a few more shots, woohoo!

[Guido]

Hic!!!!!!!

[chris.p]

Chris:burn:

[Grib]

*boing*

Looking forward to the pics :)

[wilf]

saw this post at the top of todays posts and got all excited thinking the photos are viewable.... any idea when? tomorrow sometime i guess.

[Grib]

Guy reckoned some would be up tonight, the rest tomorrow. Sounds like he's got loads to go through!

[Guido]

Hi Folks,

Just an update for you.

Not good news I'm afraid.

What with PC glitches and a broadband connection that won't stop disconnecting without warning, I think I will struggle getting anythign uploaded tonight.

The PC glitches ('kin Microsoft!!!!!) have put me about 5 hours behind so far today and that's with a full-time job too. Will keep plodding on and will; try and get some up soon.

Thanks for your patience....once again.

Guy (IT hater-extra-ordinaire)

[Loz]

They'll be worth the wait, Guy!

[Monty]

When I left the holding area at about 17.30 last night Guy was still downloading photo's from his camera to his laptop-they will be worth the wait I'm sure.

John

[Grib]

We can wait Guy, I'm sure they're great pics :)

[Guido]

Just an update for you folks

Monday Fast group being uploaded now. Shame I only have 576kb Braodband. There's 1874 files in that group alone...sheesh.. this is gonna be a long job

Nice work Guy - I reckon you'd better get your burner ready - you're gonna be busy!!

Tim

[Redruth]

Me too. Can't wait to see everything. Better give myself another day off tomorrow just to go through all the pictures you've taken.

[logyk]

Is there a link.....saw one earlier but lost it !!!!!

[Bionicle]

http://www.copeimages.com/cadwelldsc.htm

[kye]

****ing superb pictures, shall deffinately be ordering a CD full when you're done uploading them all!

[kye]

On his site hold Shift and press Refresh if it's still using the page from your browser cache

[Guido]

Fast Group Monday is now up (only taken 2 hours to upload!!!!!!!)

Am heading out to my Dad's to use his 2Meg Broadband so will try and get others up later tonight.

Please have a few virtual ales for me as I'll be burning the midnight oil

Gc

Link for the pictures is still

www.copeimages.com/cadwelldsc.htm

PS. Will put a link from my main website when I get done uploading the actual galleries.

PPS. If you've already visited my Cadwelldsc.htm page you may need to 'REFRESH' your page so that it loads the updated version (usually by pressing F5 on your keyboard). This is probably your problem Ian

[wilf]

Top pics Guido, will be sending an order for some pics for the showroom as soon as the other groups are up.

AT LAST... a photo of me with both wheels off the ground at the mountain. sounds daft i know but every other snapper has missed it before. well chuffed.

[Guido]

Just so you know it's not a complete fluke........and also where all you two wheel up folks have to aim for......

Get your rulers out boys and girls....Can you beat King Karl?????

http://www.copeimages.com/IOTW 071105 Karl Harris.htm

[Jools]

I think the difference is that Karl Harris could jump over a Rizla Suzuki, whereas Jools, might, just might, have room to slip a Rizla fag paper under the rear wheel

[couchcommando]

Pah lets see him do it with 60hp ;) ;)

Thanks for making me look good, I'll order a CD of 'em all :)

Latest Update folks in that Monday's "Inters" are now up on my server.

I can't post a link as I'm away from home using a faster broadband connection so can't edit the html pages.

If you use the 'fast' group link above and when at the 'fast' gallery, go to the URL bar at the top of your Internet Explorer window and change the word 'Fast' to 'Inters'

example = bla, bla, bla.com/Galleries/DSCCadwellAug2006/Day1/Inters/index.htm

Trudi will be well chuffed that you caught that shot

[Iconic944ss]

Absolutely SUPERB Guy!

You have airbrushed some extra air under my front wheel at the mountain havent you !!! :eek:

I think your order book will be deservedly full for quite some time!

Cheers - Frank

[Tonio600]

Excellent job as usual Guy, I'll have my CD as well :D
How does it work, do you want me to give you the file names of all the pictures you took of me or you can spot them yourself just knowing what bike you're looking for?

[CK]

so - new addition to DD gets in some not so secret practice!:o :o

[Redruth]

I'm very happy with those, Guy. I'll be ordering the CD today and a couple of prints. How do you identify which rider is which? I was in Novice on Day 1 and Inters Day 2. Would it make it easier for you if i give you all the jpeg numbers or do you have software for that? I bought a CD from the guy at Brands last year that had some other bloke on as well as me, and some of me were missing.

[Jools]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaahaahahaaaaaaaaa :(

Apart from a couple of shots on a 996, the rest of me are on this:

Never mind, there's some good shots of my mates to make up a 30 pic CD :D

Great work Guy

[ericthered40]

Sure there's some shots of you in Day2 Inters too Eric - Did you change group???

Gc


Yes I spent Tuesday afternoon in Inters with my cousen Roger the wheelie king of Inters on his xerox 996. It was getting out of hand in the fast group with the lads. I had Two trips on the grass, Charlies One and a very nasty incident at the right hand bend before the mountain. Still managed to go strait across the grass at Hall though keeping up with him.:lol:

I think I made some ground up on him though there like that though so I may try it every lap in October. :D

The grass looks in fantastic condition in all the shots. ;)

[Fordie]

Wonderful pictures Guy. Well impressed , Ill be ordering a CD as well. 4D

[Guido]

Hi Folks,

Just to clarify things re the ordering of the images.

It is altogether better for everyone, but mainly me if the order form is downloaded (via the link on the main 'cadwelldsc.htm' page) and printed off filling in the filenames you need on your CD's or print options etc. You can print more copies if you need to.

Things could get awfully messy if I'm trying to decipher emails, phone messages etc and then relate them back to pics or orders. If I have a form in front of me I know exactly who it's from, what they want, where it has to go, and what payment they've sent. I'd still prefer this if you pay by Paypal.

For the techno heads amongst us who prefer to type on the form I've attached an MS Excel version of the form.

Thanks again. Guy

[slob]

Guido,
Your work is top notch, now I can see my body position is **** compared with instructors/racers.
Order form on way over the weekend,
thanks again.
Rob

[Andydesperado]

I have looked through the pages and found you have got about 51 images of me, the 916 and the Ns, all looking very good, i wil be sending for a CD form and cheque in the post Sat am. Great work, Thanks Andy:)

[Guido]

Jools,

So sory mate.

Can't believe that all my snapping over 2 days and I have so few of you yet can get 51 of AndyD.

You must have been tyre-hugging someone mate that's all I can say..(sic!!)

[Fordie]

Jools , You must have been going around either too fast or in stealth mode ,Guy got about 30 shots of me and Im well shuffed with them. Good ones of Fil and I with some one on a red 749 lurking close behind patiently

He,he,he!
Just like a BHCN rideout!

[Guido]

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to remind and kindly request that on the order forms that you send in to me, please could you detail the picture numbers you require EVEN if ordering a CD of all your images.

I have had a couple of forms simply detailng colours of bike or leathers/helmet colour combinations.

I will struggle to cope with the orders if they keep coming through like this and am also far more likely to send you the wrong pics or the wrong amount of pics. You are far better judges of identifying yourselves than I am which is why I have requested this. I assure you, after sifting through 2800 pics your eyes start seeing things that don't even exist.

Many thanks folks.

Kind regards, Guy

[skidlids]

Guy, orders from our area will be coming your way in the near future.
So far I have sorted all my own images, those of Senna3 and his wife Trudi and the ones of Dallas. and sent them all the image numbers so they can sort out their order forms.

[Guido]

Thanks for that Kev.

So far two batches of CD's have been sent out so some of you should already have received them.

Another batch including some early orders for prints will go out today.

I'm away for a few days so I will...

a)

Get all outstanding CD orders received up to today processed and posted out this weekend.

b)

Get all outstanding print orders received up to today sent to the printing lab I use. These should arrive at my home address whilst I am away. I will post these out to the recipients as soon as I get back.

Any orders received whilst I am away will be processed as soon as possible upon my return.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Kind regards, Guy

[Brogins]

Thanks Guido, received mine, great job...
Ciao

[slob]

Thanks Guido, my CD arrived today... stunning job!

[Redruth]

Got these yesterday, Guy. Thanks, all brilliant (in spite of having to work with rather a difficult subject at times) and very happy with the CD and prints. Thanks a million. Note my new Avatar, too. Foggy and me are no longer an Avatar.
