uhm...whats the point of such photo?

what is lfs?

me too. ducks were very friendly today, so ofcourse my battery had to die after few shots

Generally i take very few pics lately, mainly because i got a job recently and once i get home, its already dark outside. And of course the weather sucks during weekends. Here is my latest (2 weeks old) phototrip... http://don.vn.cz/temp/repo/20070930-naru

Quote from ajp71 :

I'd say bring on bumper cam anyday, any decently positioned camera should be a head rush (just watch somebody else play RBR ).

this is quite scary http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SpL5unq117Q

Ever thought it depends on the individual car? The cameras are mounted on the rollcage and it may not be possible to get any better view out of the impreza (or other cars)

Quote from deggis :

FIA thinks good onboard view is the one where 70% of the picture is covered with the driver's seat.

why do you blame FIA of this? I seriously doubt its FIA who decides where the onboard cameras will be mounted. It is upto wrctv guys. And I believe they have a good reason for this.

there was quite a big stitch error in this panorama, so i made an interesting solution to it

hugin works very well for me
ive been experimenting with qtvr panoramas recently:

and also with zoomable panoramas:

(you can still pan horizontally even if its fully zoomed out)

Quote from timesonline :

Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed to be his son Johnny, another adult and another child. Police said there were no survivors.

i think its pretty much official

life sucks

quite simply - i HATE this game.

First of all, 500mb for a demo? ok, nothing new really.

Then the installation - WTF? i have to register at steam and install that to play the demo of this game? The installation process took 10 (!) minutes! And i was either blind but i didnt see any option to choose where i want to install the game.

Then the actual game - it wouldnt let me set my gear changes to the gearstick of my DFP - i could either assign gear up or gear down, but not both at the same time, so i had to stick with paddles.

The physics...not much to be said - i just dont feel the car.

I also dont like the cockpit view, its so strange and feels very un-natural. The view out from the car is very small. Oh, and that "in-helmet" view is stupid though, why is it only in the formula car and not in the wttc cars?

Because I dont know anything about Steam or how it works, It was the first thing that i uninstalled and then I uninstalled the RACE07 demo - but i am still missing 1GB I had before the installation. GOOD WORK, SIMBIN!

this game(s) just remind me why i like lfs.

the deer pic is @ 149mm and the goat pic doesnt have exif.

test @ 300mm http://don.vn.cz/temp/repo/sigmatest.jpg

I`ve also got the Sigma 70-300. For the money its not bad (dont think you can get anything better), but sometimes its really annoying to use. It is quite soft below f8 and also over 200mm, so even if it is sunny, you may find yourself using ISO 200 or even 400....I think my next lens will be prime 200mm/f2.8 L ... - tried it once (thanks to Shittie ) in the finnish forests and I really liked it - because of the low f number, you could get exposure time of 1/500 @ ISO 100, while with my sigma i was at ISO 400

i`ve got some pics with the sigma here

we also got a new cat few weeks ago

Quote from Funnybear :

Dude. Now. I know your work is stupendous, AbFab, great, amazing and any other ingratiating phrases we can think of. But how about some original content. Let me quantify that statement. Surely with your camera and directorial skills, a good voice over artist (There must be a wannabe JC out there somewhere . . . Becky? (Joke. Honest, although . . . . no. Joke. Really)) And some clever wordsmithery there is a community based original project that could knock the white socked sandal wearing old fogyness that is Top Gear. Using ingame cars, using ingame attributes and . . . well, everything ingame really. Surely that is a much higher goal to strive for than just pastiching (Although in a very accomplished way) somebody elses work.

Please don't feel I am belittling your work Donny boy Nibbler son, I too, as I said before, was thouroughly entertained and technically amazing. But we as a community must be able to beat TG at it's own game. Come AWN!!!

thats what the TopSpeed project was supposed to be - but lack of ideas and "presenters" and my lazyness and no topgear on tv for months and no inspiration and lfs sucking so much in certain areas (10 poly helmet, 20 poly marshall model with retarded hands, fugly wheels and many other details) just kill my motivation to do this project. Maybe once all these things will be "fixed" and i will make this project happen.

Quote from falcon5 :

Great video Don! Could you tell me which textures you used for it? Looks very nice.

prolly some hires track updates from electrik kar + skies that I made recently with kidcodea. Not downloadable anywhere (yet?)

Quote from yamakawa :

amazing job! Skvěle! SUBARASHII!!
How many hours did it take it? Ahoj!

Thanks. It took me 9 days to do and i worked usually 2-4 hours a day on it. But this is without the intro, that was done long time before this movie.

Quote from squidhead :

good job...
but I have to ask, is this what happened to your "top speed" project?

nothing really :/ as topgear stopped being on tv i lost my passion to continue with this project. But maybe when it returns (autumn i think?) i`ll get in the mood again..
