Are your shots with your existing kit or did you get a new tele-zoom ?


Cheers.

Existing kit and lenses. Spoke to Col last night, I need to get a f2.8 lens, I binned 80% of my shots last night (probably still shaking after going round in Bob's Sag - the Ice Blue one) Give me a shout in the pit lane and I'll give you a spin round the track if you want, delete spin, add drive!

Yeah, the 70-200 f2.8 (IS) seems like the de facto standard for shooting motorsport with Canon. I'll probably jump to the f4 before the f2.8 though.

Without wanting to tempt fate wink Looks like the weather should be good for tomorrow...

Thanks for the offer smile

Cheers.

Col, your pictures are superb. I could blame it on my non Canon L series lens but fact is I have a long way to go to match your composition! Well we all have to start somewhere! N

Cheers! All it takes is practice and a decent lens. See you tomorrow.

A bit of photochoppery going on there I suspect.

You would have got away with it if you had left the spoiler and front bumper alone.

Looks better as a 3dr though. Have a go at the front doors to see what happens.

No idea who was driving the Tuscan but it could have done with a good tune up or something, could hardly see it for smoke whenever it came on track.

Its not Claire or Paul and I doubt it would be Brian. A guy of the name of Wallace drove it a wee while ago, run by the Lutis. Jason also drove it a couple of times until he got the Corrado.
