Had to leave early to make the trip down to Cayuga for racewars, which turned out to be a bust because weather.

Aw you’re too kind! Some of these photos have too much exposure after I took some photos inside and went outside with the same settings :P I’m still learning with the camera and Lightroom settings but some did turn out well if I may say so myself.

It’s a shame we didn’t get to meet up, maybe nest time.

I’m looking forward to next weekend though, I’m hoping to head up to Mosport for some vintage action!

Yeah it had quite the presence at the show, sounded great and looked awesome on air bags. Although I was quite mesmerized by the 600, such a majestic car lol.

I had the same problem. My wife told me to shoot in raw from now on and she could fix just about anything I fucked up.

Yeah, they were fixable, but they still end up different from the others, you might be able to tell with the first pictures of the Lancia and the Camaro.

I think they are great. I like detail shots. My wallpapers are tons of them. And odd situational shots, like a Ferrari mowing the lawn inside of a turn.

It was held at a garage called Engineered Automotive, I’m not sure if there are other sponsors or anything like that.

I love that Lancia. Would give up my left stone to have one of those.

My Minolta lens always over exposes so I have to shoot in RAW to correct it, or else you only see white haha. A lot more effort to get right compared to my Zeiss, but it’s fun shooting primes. It’s odd feeling the mirror flap away while using a mirrorless because of the adapter, though.

Kinja'd!!!

I’ll be there on the Sunday!

So your body has a mirror but the lens is for mirrorless?

I’m not sure what day I’m going to be there yet, I’m going to have to figure it out this weekend I guess.

Body is mirrorless, lens adapter has the mirror. (Sony LA-EA4)

It’s $30 for the weekend and $20 for just the Sunday; I’m thinking I’d go just the one day where there would be the most racing. It’s my first time to the Historic GP after having gone to the Celeb of Motorsports last year.

Do you know what paddock access is like at Mosport? Are there days when it would be better than others? I’m just gonna have to call em and figure it out.

Anything run by BARC or VARAC is generally pretty open. The weekend usually doesnt bring so many teams that it uses up all of CTMPs paddock space and there is lots of room to roam around. The only limitation I could see would be teams prohibiting access into their pits if they have something really rare, or are just busy working away at something.

But yeah. I imagine they only use the top 2 levels of the paddock and fill it to 70% with plenty of empty space. Saturday is probably better of the two if you want low foot traffic, but it depends a lot on weather.

Ok, thanks for the info! There’s a car show in Yorkeville so if I want to make it to that I can’t go on Sunday, but it is really busy, so I’m not too sure yet.

Haha the Yorkville Exotic Car Show right? Im planning to head to that as well, now that you remind me. Uhg, timing. What’s $10 if you get to more time to shoot the paddock anyways :P

On the bright side, Saturns Drives is hosting Exotics On Main St. Unionville on the 24th (the following week) if you’re free then.

Fuck dude, that Camaro. Never thought I’d want a split bumper so badly.

Kinja'd!!!

I wanted these pictures together...... HHHNNNGGGGG

Yeah, the Camaro was pretty dank. The carbon body was finished by summer 2015, but it went to Cyrious Garage early 2016 for an engine swap. Complete power train from a CTS-V IIRC, was crazy loud. Exhausts are moulded into the bumper too.

I saw the exhaust, I want that 100%

Hey, I went to a close friends cottage last weekend so I missed Mosport, but I was wondering if you had more info on the Saturns drives thing because I can’t find too much on it, thanks!

There wasnt much at mosport unless a Benetton themed Lola is your kind of thing :P Basically they’re just occupying a short stretch of Main St. Unionville (Markham) between Victoria Ave and Carlton Rd. Businesses will remain open and the cars will be lining either side of the road for spectators to enjoy. Most of the info is on FB
