Had the chance to shoot a very pretty girl yesterday. More on this later!

I was in Slovenia with Oliver “Hesse James” Scheurich in his stock e34 M5 and Markus Militzer in his stripped our drift spec e36 M3. The drive there and back was mindblowing. Olli managed to use well over 25l/100km. That’s about four times what your hatchback does.

Anyways, the race report is due in a few days. For now, have a peek at some slow motion video capture I have done. I am terribly disappointed at the fact that Sony makes a fuss about its Smooth Slow Record function when it is just as terrible as you see here. And mind you this is the highest quality setting. The camera captures 3 seconds of footage at 240 fields per second onto its internal buffer and then writes it onto the tape at 60 fields per second, effectively stretching time. Except that it sucks. You could choose from 6s or 12 seconds of high speed recording, but I guess I don’t need to elaborate on the quality of the video. Or lack thereof.

It’s time I stopped using a) tapes and b) a pc for video work.

What a fantastic wednesday. Perfect weather, great guys, and great track time… except for the wasps maybe. Sensor needs a thorough cleaning though.
