I know it's risky but I figured it would be fun to have a change, if I hate it I can use it for the rest of this season and make a nice sum back on it later on. I'm sure eventually I will own a 80-200 again, love it.

I would do it in a second, tbh. 5500 actuations is nothing.

That's just a stock photo, but I think it does have the mottled effect like the 10-20 does as it's an EX lens. http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/ for second-hand stuff, really honest with their evaluations and very very quick to deliver. I pretty much shop there exclusively!

50-500 is "only" 1,840g (tiny bit more than my 80-200), this is 2,600g. http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3274&navigator=3

October 4th, and that one is free if you sign up for the CC Newsletter.

Yep, well that's the idea, I find monopods too restrictive, but I might have to learn to use one I guess!

September 13th...British Superkarts are back, completely insane.

Was worried about the size but I had a good look at Steve's (who I believe works with Nick, bumped into him as he was going to see him after quali) and it seemed manageable, and considering it's not costing me anything I couldn't turn down a £2k lens. It is a kg more than my 80-200 though so I...

I'm actually going to have less zoom for a while (currently get 420mm with my 300mm f4 and 1.4x TC), but when I save up for another 1.4x I should be well away.

Lovely shots, very atmospheric.

Going to look bloody stupid on my D50 :)

Great stuff, I'm loving the grass in the infield between Folly/Avon Rise this year, looks really cool in photos with the clumps of dark bits. Prebble Evo shot is my fave with the other Evo coming through in the background, very nice.

Steve: 'New' angle is just looking back up from Old Paddock, shoot from there quite a bit but finally realised if I led down you could shoot through the gate and have a perfect track level shot. Henry: Don't seem to end up with very many decent Radical shots, usually shoot the more saloon...

Not something I've done nearly as often as I might have expected when I first bought my DSLR, but I've bought a lens (second-hand, of course)... Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX APO IF HSM, 2.6kg :eek: This was firmly in 'dream' category when I got my DSLR nearly 2 years ago, but through some...

Possibly a Sigma 120-300 2.8 (the Nikon 80-200 has to go as well if that happens), which would be insane. Not 100% sure what's going to happen yet.

For that one, 1/100 with the car moving at, I guess, 100mph or so. Generally anything between 1/30 and 1/100 though.

Pleased you like it :) Full res here if you want it...http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/358876540_vp8wD-O.jpg Can't believe you were only a second or so a lap off the pace of that crazy Class B race today, great effort.

I could have led there all day, thought my photos might get a bit samey though! Was thrilled to find that angle, can't think of anywhere else at the circuits I've been to where you have a completely clear line of sight at track surface level.

Just when I think I'm getting a bit bored, along comes the always brilliant Aston Martin Owners Club and the events that sit with them...and then we have the best (and clean!) Saloon Car Race I have seen in a long long time. Then to top it off, I find a new angle at the end of the day that I've...

Stunning pics, you clearly... a) Get to a lot of Rallys b) Know where on each stage to expect some fireworks c) Can capture a moment brilliantly (I freeze whenever I see a crash happening!)

I got about 20 reasonable pics in a whole day, nightmare. Not even great for spectators really, BTCC pulled out of Silverstone last year but the sponsors forced them back for 2008 (I guess racing at the same place as F1 offers kudos for even the most uninterested clients), for national/club...

This will be trip #5, so yep, I like it! Going in February (4th time I've been in Feb), going to be lovely and cold again.

I'm also in the saving like hell for a D300 club! Will get there one day, just booking a trip to New York which has dented my efforts slightly.

Stack them +4, +2, +1 for a bit of fun :)

It's truely awful for photos, and I'm going from experience on a day when there were hardly any people there, when it's busy it must be even worse. BTCC runs on the National Circuit, so you have two options really... Luffield - A few things you can try on the terrace, stand back and you can...

In store? Probably not, I've never seen any in the shops.

Yep, all of the shots on this page apart from the dragonfly ones were taken with the kit lens and close-up filter... http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/gallery/2602037_zznf4 Just zoom to 55mm, select manual focus and off you go.

Yep it is, on a Retro trackday they had.

Looks like a T-Car to me (racing series for 14-17 year olds)

Here goes (I think), sounded glorious...
