D1GP Ebisu (Photos)

funkified · 08-22-2005, 12:01 AM

ive never seen drifting in person before so what better place to start then at a d1 event. It was at the ebisu circuit, about 4.5 hours from where im staying, or 1.5 by the shinkansen. so after a $85 train ride and $30 cab i finally get to the course. i walk into the parking lot and see a load of nice cars, skylines, silvias, supras.fd’s whatever you can name it was probably there. i start to get giddy when i hear the noises from the track when i saw the cars and what they could do, needless to say i wasnt dissappointed. i had no sleep, or food, it was really crowded hot as hell, but it didnt matter. i had standing room seats only but they were at the best part of the course, right on the main hairpin where the judging took place. well i guess ill shutup now heres the album:

yes i realize my photography skills suck, the timing took a little while to nail down too, but there are some good ones.

The vids mite take a min or two to load before they play, so just wait it out.

I mean im not photographer (hell i cant even spell it) but i like takeing pictures and that useally works for action shots

well for the most of the pics i used the focus lock when i was taking the pics, so i just had to get the timing down as to when i should fully press the button for the shutter. but ya i did follow the car as it came towards me, 800 view and you are the first to say something about em. thanks for the comments!
