Go to: Previous Item Current News Next Item Part 2: Oly E-1 in action at the US Grand Prix (UPDATED) By Michael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource (Friday, October 3, 2003 - 23:52 EDT) We're sure there's a rule in the web publishing business about making promises one can't keep, and if there isn't, there should be. We promised readers a couple of days ago that we'd have the second part of our Olympus E-1 Formula One report the following day "barring unforeseen problems" - and with fate thus tempted, every obstacle possible threw itself in our path. We've finally managed to finish the second part of the article now though, and present another 20 photos taken at the F1 race in Indianapolis with an Olympus E-1 digital SLR. If you've not read the first part of the report, we'd suggest clicking here for some background and the first batch of photos before you continue any further. As with the first part of the report, these photos are all copyright © 2003 The Imaging Resource / Michael R. Tomkins, and may not be reproduced in any form, including (but not limited to) print magazines or electronic media, without prior permission. We provide the original Adobe RGB images (not suitable for viewing in a web browser), unaltered except for lossless rotation, to allow readers to judge the quality of the camera / lens combos by printing images for their own personal use only. All images are also linked to unretouched SRGB 450 x 600 pixel versions suitable for on-screen viewing in your web browser. Sorry for the delay getting this posted. The third and final section of the report should be following "soon" - and we're not going to tempt fate by making any more specific prediction than that... :) Jaguar's Mark Webber races around one of Indy's famous banked corners...
