It was funny to go back and see how far I’ve come. It wasn’t a bad first attempt, but the edits weren’t very precise, I used way too many transitions, and it was a little too long. I did my copied the entire sequence over and removed all the image. I did several passes refining the audio, tweaking timing, levels and transitions. After that I added images, this time WITHOUT fade-to-black transitions between every frame (yikes).

Then the hail started from Jamie De Pould on Vimeo.

RallyX_22Aug2009_114830, originally uploaded by jdepould.

I’ve been back from Africa for about two weeks, just getting situated with classes starting last week. The return trip from Sierra Leone was eventful. I missed my original flight. With a little luck (and a lot of help from American Express), I got on the next flight out. Spent the night in Chicago, and was back home in Syracuse the next day.

The trip itself was pretty good, at times frustrating, but I think I got what I needed. No pictures on the web yet, they’re embargoed until February.

You’re probably wondering what all this has to do with a blue Subaru. Well, nothing. I shot the SCCA rallycross at Black Rock Speedway in Dundee, N.Y. the day after I got back. I was testing a Nikkor 500mm f/4 VR for Jared at prophotorental.com. Unfortunately, monsoon season in West Africa killed my D700, so all I had was my D300. The 500mm lens on a crop sensor was actually too long at times. There was a Toyota Tacoma that I could barely fit in the frame. Image quality is typical for a long Nikkor prime. Sometimes I think I’m spoiled, because I’ve become accustomed to spectacular image quality every time.
