  1. I think Mystul means hiding an ASCII message in your images somehow, but it seems a bit much, I think the watermark should be enough. If Mystul has an easy and efficient way in mind though, I'd like to hear it.

  2. Haven't used it in a long while... it's very overkill - but exactly what 607 said.

    IMHO, others' opinions on your watermark is missing the point. The opinions should be on the awesome pictures!

    Personally, I think the single line watermark interferes more with the photo then the other one.

  3. Ah yes, bit overkill then :p

    If I made the watermark slightly more transparent, do you think it would be a sufficient enough watermark but less interfering as well?

    It's hard to get it good for everything! I do have the old one to revert to if need be but people didn't respond well to it when I shared one of my images on Facebook... this one has been fine though :) So far at least!
  4. Peugeot 205 Group B rally car!


    Another Group B rally car, the mighty Ford RS200!
  5. We're now on a massive 843 people reached. This is crazy, the reception we got to Rallyday on the Facebook page is astronomical!

    This calls for some more Group B in the form of the crazy Renault 5 Turbo...


    And this very interesting Micra was there too! While not a Group B car, this one was certainly a powerful machine for what it is!
  6. Upcoming events: Grand Finals and Audi Driver International. After that, I'm not sure if there's much more until next year! But nonetheless, we have lots more photos to share!

    Rallyday views are slowing down now. Almost 900 reached, 50 likes on our page and 60 likes on our album shared on Rallyday, with various likes on pictures within. Here's a couple more from that day! Here's the mighty quattro:


    Within the machine lies one of the greatest sounding engines of all time... (opinionated ;)) the Audi 5 cylinder turbo engine!

  9. Almost in the action now. A few more still shots I'd like to share before we go into them!

  10. We've capped now at just over 880 viewers. This is the last still picture post for now, planning to make some posts with the moving track shots in very soon!

    Another mighty MG Metro 6R4!


    Drrally's amazing orange Subaru Impreza! I got to sit in this car and start it up a few times! It sounds great :D

  11. Time to dive into some action shots!

    Ford Escort Mk3!


    Opel Manta rocking the hairpin!

  12. The Opel Manta going back into the paddock with the fleet of rally cars from the field!


    Things don't always end well... this Nissan 240RS supposedly blew out a turbo, and a lot of flames! We hope it gets fixed soon, these rally cars are really rare!

  13. One of my favourite shots from Rallyday... this Opel Manta speeding down towards Camp corner!


    Can't be Rallyday without at least one classic Mini!

  14. How do you prevent overheating the engine in the rear of a Lancia Stratos? I think a Stratos owner at Rallyday found the answer... just take the bodywork off the back ;)


    Rallyday wouldn't be complete without the Audi ur quattro "FOT 5X" being there!

  15. Tomorrow: Grand Finals at Castle Combe!

    But not before a couple more track Rallyday pictures ;)

    Audi quattro coming back into the paddock!


    Drrally rocking Camp corner!

  16. This time, we swap! Drrally's Impreza coming back into the paddock and the Audi quattro on track!


    This is a really good picture of the quattro :)

    The Formula Fords out in action on track!

  19. Steve Billet on track in the college Formula Ford. Steve did pretty well, though there was a slight incident with a wall which will mean a new exhaust needed for the Spectrum chassis Ford, but overall praise to him for a good championship!


    Ben Norton, in the other college Formula Ford, had an amazing race. He came first, as the two leaders crashed into each other in the final race, and then he came first in the annual carnival race as well! Ben came second overall in the entire championship. This is an amazing feat considering the college has ran for 10 years at Combe now, it's great to see what students working on cars can do.


    The kids beat the big guns! ;)

  20. Almost 1,000 people have now seen the Grand Finals album. My college pictures have been doing the rounds with the lecturers and I've been receiving praise for them. The course head wants me to continue taking pictures for the season next year! The lecturer that helped me organise the pass has also given me praise and sent the pictures to someone who was working on the Formula Ford as well. Fendy Photography is picking up nicely, 55 likes on our page now is a lot different from the few we had to start!

    Not all cars make it around... but this car was up and running again for the final race after this incident with the wall at Quarry! He almost saved it!


    Pete Diccox had his last ever day of racing, at 80 years old and 26 years running in the championship at Grand Finals. This parade lap occurred before his final two races. Unfortunately, somebody hit his car in the first of those races, and the Formula Ford was up together again for the final carnival race, but had issues before the end. Not the best of days for the racer but he was given so much support and he was overwhelmed by the response of the public to his departure, we'll miss seeing him around!
