Woodpecker 2006

Here's a couple of photos of my mate's truck at Sunday's Woodpecker trial. The black all wheel steer Nissan is his team mate's. They did well, I think they won the team and club events.

It's been a long time since I've taken any sports type shorts, and I found the digi C5060WZ very slow between shots. Not as quick as I can be on my old manual OM-1 anyway! I was also taking photo just on program mode so auto focus and all that was delaying the image capture time. I didn't want to use focus lock or manual mode as I was like a one handed paper hanger trying to take photos of two trucks at a time going through the one section at the same time. Especially when Chad only took 2 minutes 18 seconds or some such silly amount of time to finish the first section! Talk about putting the pressure on a photographer!

I took about 130 something photos in the day. Pretty pleased with most, but lots of shots went begging 'cause the camera wasn't ready yet!

Certainly a different day out for us.
