For the first time in ages I've been out shooting bikes today, so I thought I'd post a few shots up on here. Lots of sun, lots of bikes, good day out. Thumbs Up

Nice one...I missed the track action since I was pit side this weekend, but I had a superb experience...seeing how it all works...getting in on the background action...being right at the front for the Podium action. Watching the racing from the screen inside the garage down pit lane... Very Happy

Sounds good. Westmoreland did well yesterday too, didn't he? Seem to remember he got pole, but my memory's not usually up to much on these things. Did today go as well? (I didn't catch any of the supersport races)

350D with a 70-200 f4. Though the lens is great it was a bit short and some of the shots are fairly heavily cropped as a result.

Love them, I think I would have attempted for a few darker shots (not lots, just feels like they're /really/ bright in some of them).

But ace photos Thumbs Up

Clanger, I felt so sorry for JW! Couldnt believe it on the last lap aswell! Was hoping for a 2nd or 3rd at least, did his tyres just start to fade at the end or what?

I'm 99% sure that's not the case with the 70-200. The 2x loses AF, but not the 1.4x. The reason the 100-400 loses AF is that its maximum aperture setting is lower than F4.

With the 2x the required aperture for AF is 2.8 or higher, so you'd need the 70-200 2.8 for that.

See this thread for info: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41922

Edit: Make that 100% sure - check out the second post with the lens compatibility table.

Having looked at the pics on a calibrated monitor instead of just my laptop, I've got to admit I'm wrong, lots of the shots are overexposed. Fairly easy to fix fortunately, since they were all shot in raw.

After a bit of editing I think this might be my favourite of the lot:

Course I wouldn't, I hope he likes it. Smile

I've just had a quick run through and I've got a few semi-decent shots, though I think the one I uploaded initially is still the best of the bunch.

Anyone going to Snetterton?

If so I'll be at the holding pen after the superstock 6's are on track, picking up bike 19.

Clanger, I just realised it was Dom posting not you, so my PM now makes no sense. Laughing

Doh, I know they're JW - I misread your message as you'd mentioned JW elsewhere. No harm done.
