I’m just glad Latifi didn’t crash this time. But yeah.

It was a covid casualty, but they are seemingly bringing it back now.

Yes, bring the cool down room permanently back pls.

O hey I saw her (and Jacques) at the 2014 USGP.

Yeah, but they haven’t actually brought anything to fix their issues yet. They are naturally going to go backwards relative to the competition who have upgraded their cars some. Look at Aston, they were hopeless just a few races ago, but have brought some updates and are doing a bit better now. A lot of the qualifying speed issues also come from tire warmup, which is a separate issue but one they need to workout just as much (they have always struggled with this, though). If they are still shitty after Barcelona then yeah they might be turbo fucked, at least for this year.

Found elfenix

Was just the tire I believe.

Silverstone, Monaco, Spa, Suzuka. Those are my 4. I can’t kick one out.

Race day! James Hunt Who else? Scheckter actually took the lead going into T1 and Led for a bit But Hunt eventually got by And won the race Coca Cola and champs to the winner

Got a cool little something for you all. I acquired some old press photo slides of the 1976 USGP at Watkins Glen and went ahead and scanned them using my DSLR, and the results were fun. These were shot on Ektachrome. The action shots are only so-so, but the rest are mostly great.

Apparently I’m in the minority, but I like that change. Qualifying and racing are two different things, so recognizing the person that goes fastest in that format is the correct move, I think. I of course abhor the sprint race in its current format anyway, so if we were to remove its affiliation with the race starting grid, that would make it better.

Double post.

That was an SU-57, so the baddies probably doing a crazy thrust vectoring CGI thing for the movie.

Same.

^^^ One thing I forgot to mention is to use an air blower on both sides of your film before scanning. Now for some examples. I did use the Faithful color profile from my camera, and adjusted white balance to where it looked most natural to me, using foliage and the sky as my guides. I have a pretty good handle on WB, so I think I did alright. No adjusting of any HSL whatsoever, but I did adjust some levels in order to improve some of the scans, since I was shooting in raw. Also, Kodachrome actually has a ton of shadow detail, but is also high contrast, so I tried to balance that in the raw file. These were taken in Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Parks in 1975 (processed in June, 1975). Not sure what speed, but likely Kodachrome 64.

So, a quick-ish DSLR film scanning review. This is great, and works really well. So far I have only tried it on 35mm slides, but the Skier Sunray Copy Box I am using makes quick work of them once you have everything setup and focused. Since I am not using a copy stand (which is by far the easiest way to do it), I just set up one of my tripods in its wide stance at lowest height, and have my Sirui ballhead on top with it facing 90* down using the slot cutout in the ballhead. I used the built-in spirit levels in the ballhead clamp to make sure that I was level in both axes. The copy box comes with various film holders. The kit I bought had all three, which are for 135, 120, and 4x5. The 135 and 120 holders have cutouts in the back of them to allow you to place mounted slides, which makes slide scanning ridiculously easy. The other side of the holders have an adjustable film passthrough. The 135 holder adjusts from 40mm to 70mm wide, so it can even fit panorama shots like from an Xpan or Fujifilm TX (though I’d personally just stitch them). The 120 holder can be adjusted from 60mm to 120mm wide, so it can fit anything from a 645 (with some extra space) to a 6x12. Copy Box and film holders: Camera setup: Copy box with 135 holder and slide mounted: iPhone macro shot of slide mounted and illuminated. To start, I turned the copy box on and put a mounted slide in the 135 film holder. I turned the camera on, then enabled live view on my camera. I physically moved the copy box on the countertop until the illuminated slide filled the viewfinder of my camera. I was a tad too close to the focus point on initial setup, so I moved the arca swiss plate attached to my camera vertically in the ballhead clamp a small amount, which ended up being less than 10mm. I was actually lucky that I didn’t need any more adjustment out of how I have the camera set up (I actually ordered a macro rail that I may or may not send back now). So, YMMV using a tripod. If your tripod has a center column, it should be much easier for you by flipping the legs and using it inverted. My tripods do not have a center column, so I either needed this to work as-is, or add a macro rail for more adjustment room. Once I was at the right focus distance, I finely adjusted focus using the x10 magnifier in live view and manually adjusting the lens (make sure the lens is in MF mode). Once you’ve got it, you’re ready to start scanning. I hooked up a manual remote shutter button to the camera and adjusted shutter speed until I found something that worked (1/50 to 1/100, depending on the shot) with the aperture at F/8. Using the lowest native ISO on your camera is probably best. I scanned 68 slides in about 10 minutes, slightly adjusting shutter speed on some of them if it was a brighter or darker exposure. Once done, pop them in LightRoom Classic (or your choice of post processor), crop, and slightly adjust exposure/WB, and you are done. Shooting in jpg with a Faithful or Neutral color profile would probably work just fine, I am just raw shooter and did not think to try it. Equipment used: Light source and film holder: Skier Sunray Copy Box 3 Camera: Canon 5DIV Lens: Canon EF 100mm 2.8 Macro USM Tripod + ballhead Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh come on!

Yeah, it’s slower than the regular AMG GT that Merc had used up until this year too, which is the issue (they use the Black Series, now).

Maybe Superhero just watched this video yesterday.

The drivers have been saying that the Aston SC is too slow, and so the FIA released this statement, lol.

The 45rpm Pallas pressing of Rumours has finally been repressed. This one was mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman and is absolutely incredible. Was going for nearly $200 just last month before it was repressed. Get it while it’s hot!

Also, which Tamron lens exactly is it? I don’t think I’m finding the right one. It really depends on the maximum magnification. 1:1 is ideal so that a 35mm frame will completely fill your camera sensor.
