really started mucking about at round 4 Irl drift and took this what i feel is a perfect shot at 1/30 shutter speed @ F22

Where abouts in Kent are you mush?

PM me if you prefer not to say it here

Paddy · 18-09-2005, 23:10

I was trying higher shutter speeds today, the layout of Watergrasshill doesnt allow much panning and found the autofocus to be a bit inconsistent. I tried to capture what James said at the very start of this thread of a frontal shot with the dirver on the lock, have a few like this ..

Ross · 19-09-2005, 12:48

that worked well, judging by the still visable movement in the tyre tread looks like you got a nice balence between movement and freezing, what was that? about 1/250ish

Paddy · 19-09-2005, 23:31

Thats 1/400th @ ISO100 and 300mm zoom ...

Good shot allright,for some reason all my pics of that car look good aswell!! Very photogenic car

Ill put some more photos up later,together with their stats and my thoughts on them. I think its good to be able to critcise your own work aswell as praise others

Graham · 21-09-2005, 23:30

paddy what 300mm lens you using the 75-300 or a fixed 300 and is she a canon lens as canon AF is usually amazing ? i was shooting on a sigma fixed 300 F4 lens on sunday and got the likes of this but the AF was a bit slow on it sadly and quality isn't as great as a canon 300 F4 - this picture is 800 shuter speed

and then i moved to a new angle at kirkistown that i've never shot from and but the shutter down to 125 and got some good reults i thought

on that note.. jessops quoted £168.99 for canon ef 75-300mm f4/5.6 usm mk3... anyone know if this is a reasonable price? or of anywhere that does it cheaper (apart from ebay)??

asking because i need to get a bigger lens before next year...

thats not bad, missy, its the cannon equivalatnt to the 80/300 ive got, apart from the usm bit, so it should be realy quiet, try express warehouse.com there normaly a bit cheeper if there carring stock.

from reports and reviews i have read on this lens it isn't too hot when it comes to quick AF or sharpness and a friend has one and regrets buying it. i have a 55-200 mk2 usm and she is amazing so with a 1.5x converter it might be a wiser choice ?

thanks for the tip graham..... makes me glad i didn't bid on one on ebay earlier...

Paddy · 22-09-2005, 23:26

Thats the lens I have, It's fine up as far as 200mm but when you push further it gets ropey and requires way higher shutter speeds. Plus, I got it for €100 in new condition, Cheers Robbie

Have a sigma 170-500mm aswell ...

Ross · 23-09-2005, 08:13

right, i said as soon as the d1gp was anounced if i managed to get a pass id get myself a new lens. that gives me just over a week to sell the peddly bike, go shopping and get used to new kit........god i love being this organised.
but my GF got me a funky waterproof rain cover for my birthday so if the heavens open im sorted, all weather shooting exellent. its the dogs, fits all slrs with lens's upto 400mm prime, and its in rambo spec camo.
