Isle of Man IOM road racing

3ddude — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 01:06:46 GMT

Due to an accident that occurred @ Isle of Man, I will not be able to place many pictures of three racing days very soon.

I broke my arm so sorting 30GB of material will take me some time unfortunately.
Editing those pics will take even longer so bare with me,
I will do my best to put a few very nice shots at this page very soon!

Let us all first consider the lives that were lost during the most amazing road race of all times!
IOM riders are all heroes, the circuit the most dangerous in the world and all people who do not dare racing here are instantly forgiven...
for this is truly only for the brave!

                                                                                                                Yoshinari Matsushita RIP

You will be missed forever and you are in the hearts of many!
It's all too sad, that probably a safety measurement cost you your life at Ballacrye.
The boy (13, son of a former sidecar racer) who told you just before the race about the dangers of this particular circuit was so shocked to hear about your death,
it'll stay with him for the rest of his life!
The boy is a friend of mine and we cried together for you.
All the best to your family, friends and collegue-racers!
You have my everlasting respect!

One Spanish roadracer got hurt, not severely but I can tell you I felt real bad for you!


Antonio Maeso,

As far as I know you hit a stone wall going through the Verandah section of the course, breaking your femur and shattering your knee cap.
I was in the same room with you at Nobles Hospital but the medicines made me so sleepy that I didn't recognize you.
My girlfriend has spoken with your friend who was with you for some time, I don't know if you remember. She told me that your knee was badly hurt and that she told you about Valladolid.
I hope so much that all will be very well soon and you will recover completely!
You also have my everlasting respect!
España, me gusta mucho!

Branko is still stable according to his own website after his terrible accident during practice week.
Out of respect for my fellow Dutchman I will not give any updates about his recovery, please refer to:

A last word for the 11 spectators injured, one of you was also in the same room as I was with internal bleedings.
I hope you all will get well soon!

Finally I have a special thanks to the Ward 11 nurses and all Doctors:

What an amazing team, all of you!
I was really impressed at the professionality and exellent care you give!
I love you all and will not forget you!
It still hurts pretty bad though;)

I love the Isle of Man!

My new camera

3ddude — Sun, 05 May 2013 04:24:01 GMT

First a warm welcome to all new visitors to my first site ever!

I have always loved photography and filming, never had any real good equipment to do so though.
Especially 3D images always grasped my mind, watched them until my head almost exploded.

Just recently I got news about the greatest photo/film-opportunity of my life but the bad news was - after many years of service - my ancient Digital Ixus died on me.
I somehow knew that at this opportunity this particular kind of camera would be useless in any way possible so time to buy a new cam.
No small automatic cam would do the trick so let's try something a little better I thought, tried to find my way on the internet but too much information didn't help a lot either.
One stroke of luck, a photographer as a friend who is kind enough to help sort out some info!

All necessary info gathered, money in the bank, (thanks to two incredible people) , went to my "regular" store and got a system camera Olympus with 3D capability plus a 18-135 lens and went home anxious to test the crap out of that thing!

-To cut a long story short-
all photo's seemed off-color, so much worse than my ol' Ixus...
Went through every setting, couldn't get it "fixed".
How odd, I thought it had to be me.
Friend to the rescue!!! And he tried, and tried, and...he then convinced me to return this piece of ....

Due to the friend, finally, I have a rockin' Sony a57 slt and boy, I couldn't be happier! Thanks Pal!
Bought it with a 18-135 zoom and soon realised that it was a whole lot better but, well, it still wasn't sufficient.
Purchased a second-hand extra 70-300 sony original and now I began feeling comfortable for now :P

For this special opportunity I need a microphone and a remote control but how to fit both on the cam?
Surely there must be a solution I thought, googled my ass off but came up with nothing?
So many "rigs, mounts, adapters, hotshoes", must be hundreds, not one fits the sony because of the special flash fitting!
Houston, we have a problem.

Nobody knew a solution, not even the store I bought my camera from, so I knew I had to build something myself, as usual :S
The focusing of the lensen of the a57 is very fast but also gave quite some contact noise on the microphone as some of you may know, that proofed to be an obstacle but managed to build something out of a sony-to-universal adapter hotshoe, two old Minolta SLR camera's and some other hardware I had laying around like a piece of aluminium and a rubber cablefitting.

The result you can see in the section "Photo Albums", subsection: camera's - a57

Oh, that opportunity?
Well,

That is still a little secret!
Updates will follow as soon as possible so keep posted, subscribe or do whatever you feel like :)

That's all for today folks!
