Photo Quest for November
Kitchen Draw I think they are pretty standard the world around.. cutlery in the top |
Your Phone Which has appeared on this site countless times. |
Spy Material This one was hard, I really don’t feel like a secret agent. I did contemplate taking photographs of the satellite gear that I spent the weekend setting up and taking down, but I didn’t know if it would be covered under a privacy agreement, so I decided against it. For this photo I did a whois on an IP address. For the sake of security, I used a private network address. I often whois people that I chat to so I can see where they are from. Sometimes people will lie about their location, and if they are willing to lie about that, who knows what else they may say. |
Fast Food. I have really been procrastinating on this photo, but now it is done I can upload. This is the Australian franchise of Burger King called Hungry Jacks |
Black and White (From Source) The only photoshop adjustments to this have been cropping and some contrast/brightness ones. Deliberately working in black and white at the source added an extra challenge. Normally I will see a photo that I think would look good in b&w and desaturate it. For this one I actually had to set up with b&w in mind. I am really happy with the result. |

It seems that the less you work the more benefit you get for being an official at the rally. At one stage the free windup party was on a Monday night, giving everyone a chance to recover from the weekend. The last couple of years it has been on the Sunday night meaning that people who work long hours, or finish up late don’t get chance to enjoy it.
Case in hand. I worked Thursday and Friday night, Saturday I was at Gloucester Park for 15 ½ hours with a six hour reprieve before having to be back there at 03.20 on Sunday morning. I was then working out in the sun for the whole day. I finally finished at 18.30 and decided that there was no point in going home and getting ready for the after party, because I was so tired that I would just not want to go back there anyway.
So I went to the party. I got there at 7pm, and left half an hour later. I got myself a bottle of water and a bottle of lemonade from the bar and went to get dinner, which ended up being two stingy little pieces of rather chewy meat on a couple of stale bread rolls. I asked for more meat but apparently they wanted to ration it and they suggested I rejoined the queue.
I politely told her that I had just been working 17 hours and that I would be going straight home after dinner, but in hindsight I wish I’d just told her to fuck off!

Some photos from this years Rally Australia
“Look what I did to my car!” |
|
When dark green slime is pouring out from the front of the vehicle, chances are you are not going any further! |
|
Subaru’s are quite my favourite car, and this is an Imprezz’ive line up |
|
This is the last year that the Mini will be able to compete in a WRC event, so it was really nice to see these guys come out to Australia. |
|
Also making a first trip down under are these two cars from China. They did very well and both their cars finished the event |
|
Check out my new car. No seriously, it is in my garage as we speak ;) |

I went to shakedown at Gloucester Park last night. It is probably the only good time that I will get to take photo’s so here are a couple of the Citroën.

Sometimes, spell-checks can be your downfall.. I wish to point out that I do not ” regally sit on IRC”, but I do regularly sit on IRC
