Chief Stipe Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Te Aroha back racing today after an enforced break. The track looks in great order for a heavy 8. Here's hoping the Club now gets a fair cut of the whip going forward. Really nice racecourse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Fish Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 A flood of tread encompassed me when my mind flashed back to my first go at photography at that track. (blush) I had been transferred to the northern branch of RI, the goal being to firm up that branch! My first meeting was at this track! My first go and driving the cameras with the horse running to the line from the Right! (this was the days of 'no motor drives, one camera on a tripod for the action shot, another camera in the other had for the finish shot) A very nervous wait for the negatives to come back from the processor! OH NO! Oh dear me! (blush! blush!)the actions shots were ok! but I so didn't transfer over that well to the Finish camera! all over the place! as if I had be drunk! Very humbling! Thankfully I did find some form! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I did find some form! Perhaps you might have the answers. How far back do photographing operators (not photofinish) keep their negatives or prints for reproduction if connections of winners etc. wish to place an order. ? Also did you notice at some tracks photos would come out far clearer with more depth. e.g. Matamata and Foxton.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
