So far out of my price range it's not even funny, but...

Scrub my last post, if I knew the Canon range I would realise that you can't buy a 20D new ;)

Brand new? If so, seems very odd. I would expect a clean sensor on a second-hand body (unless described otherwise) let alone a new one.

That be the benefit of a press pass, without £5k worth of long (600mm!) fast glass, there are very very few places where the public could get low head-on shots at any circuit in the UK (for obvious reasons).

Good stuff, looks like a nightmare day from a photography point of view! What was that gorgeous Lotus Cortina doing there, btw? I guess it was representing some championship. Any pics?

Is there any news on the weight? Strangely missing from all that blurb.

Lovely shots, plenty of movement and some nice angles. Love the Mk1 Clio shot, plenty of movement but pin sharp where it matters. Only a month to go until I can start getting to some events, can't wait!

Just to give people an idea of what this event is like... http://www.chrisharrison.smugmug.com/gallery/5010111_pteLX One of my favourite events of the year, nice and compact, very friendly, great atmosphere and some amazing cars on display and charging up the hill. Well worth it imo.

What's the mileage on that one now? Certainly been around a bit, I took this in July...

Self taught, I seem to get lucky!

Superb shots there mate, the two Yellow Suzuki shots and the Marlboro Ducati really do it for me, all excellent though. Certainly hard to find any particular criticism of them. Most people say harder, but I - strangely - find it much easier. Much smaller area to keep sharp so you can push...

GaryS will be your man, done some night rally stuff iirc. Two basic approaches though, flash or no flash (very few people shoot without flash, though). Both will give you entirely different effects but each have their merits. I've shot non-flash night stuff before and it was brutally...

Mr. dunganick makes a very good point, the 50mm is pretty useless for this kind of thing unless the subject stays as parallel as possible to you. I've tried it a few times with the 50mm (and your body ;)), even at 1/250 I was struggling tbh... 1/50 is definitely a nice shutter speed for very...

Pretty much spot on imo (the first shots), you've actually used HDR for what it was invented for (showing us what our eyes see, something cameras simply can't manage), not that horribly glazed look as you've shown further down. Very impressed, not often you see tasteful HDR, I guess the whole...

I was expecting some awfully blurred panning shots, yet the subjects are actually reasonably sharp waaaay off in the distance, especially considering your shutter speed. You appear to be a natural at this photography stuff, tbh. All I can suggest is more practice as it looks as though you've...

Unfortunately that's a realistic price. In a period of transition at the moment where old and new stock will be floating around, so there are massive differences in prices between companies. By the Spring I imagine things will level out, if you have a look at camerapricebuster, 90% of...

He tested a lens designed for DX on a full-frame camera?!

It's proper scary, I'm beyond pleased that I happened to get pretty much everything I wanted before Christmas...I literally wouldn't be able to afford any remotely reasonable lens any more. Bargains are going to become very hard to find, and second-hand prices are already starting to adjust...

Chicago is very photogenic so you should do well. My Bro-in-laws went in October and came back with loads of fantastic shots on their Panasonic TZ7s. Make sure you visit the Chicago Bean, the photos of that are trippy and very very cool.

Good question, I'm fairly certain it's the NY Times Building (the lobby of which is awesome) as that's about the right location and shape.

That's pretty much bang on iirc, it bottomed out at about £280 a while ago, but now it's creeping towards the £400-£450 mark which will eventually be its natural price point with all the price increases. You'll be lucky to get it any cheaper as the majority of companies have already increased...

Absolutely, quite a few genuine 'designed for digital' lens coming along now. That's why I love my 50-150, I can now see why the 70-200 focal length is/was so popular on film/full frame cameras, it's a superb range to work with and offers quite a few more possibilities at the wider end. It's...

They are stunning. Hard to fault them, so I will be really really picky... ;) #2 - may be worth cropping the far right where the white line and black dot is, draws your eye away from the subject a bit. #4 - Similar thing, a few blobs that might be worth cleaning up on the left hand side.

As above, no brainer really...and get one quick before the prices reaches 'silly' stage (if it hasn't already)

Absolutely, not sure about anyone else but 95% of the enjoyment I get out of photography is actually taking the photos. We're all doing it for fun (I assume) so may as well make the actual picture taking part of it as enjoyable as possible. Would love a Lensbaby at some point, may have to...

You're not wrong, all these chuffin randoms jumping all over my Photostream, it's usually a nice leisurely browse through my recent activity, mostly with comments and things from people I know, now it's just silly and I can't keep up... (I like the comment on the other one though!)

Can't decide if that's better or worse than my other half who would quite happily bankrupt the both of us to keep going back every few months! She's 27 and has been 6 times, ffs! I've now been 4 times with her since 2003.

It's insane, I paid £300 for it just before Christmas (second-hand but mint), at that time RRP was about £400. Think you're right though, probably worth keeping 'just in case'.

Sigma 50-150 2.8 EX. Blown away by the detail it was getting from that far away, especially as I was balancing it on a narrow strip of metal railing. Yup, here: http://www.chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Travel/722314 Good job I'm not a businessman, I'd be screwed!
