Depends how much you want video. If you really want it, get a video camera, not a stills camera that can do video, otherwise get a better stills camera.

Do they still have that bloody AWP cannon!? Pissed me right off that did back in the day!

lol that beats the typical UK meet in a sainsburys carpark!

lol interesting location! :)

Yes, but then you have to go around shooting at f2.8 all the time, which isnt really practical. I upgraded my body which is much better at higher ISO and it much more effective than getting faster lenses (which are not cheap either)

14 euro delivery!! I got mine from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSCH-AEROTWIN-WIPERS-RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-172-182-CUP_W0QQitemZ110441038112QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item19b6cc8120

Wouldn't own one of those in a million years, but glad you like it! What's with the carbon offset sticker?

^ OUCH!

Ah!! A dirty car! ;) As you say, a flash would have worked wonders to fill in the shadows, but very nice photos considering :)

I got one from halfords for less than £20, has been good to me so far :)

Your low light performance is down to the body. You can get faster lenses (ie ones that go down to f2.8 or less) but that wont solve the problem. I know very little about Canon lenses so I cant really help you that much, but is looking into a newer body out of the question?

Yeh, I wish it had a quiet shutter mode like the new D3s. I was holding out for one of those, but it would have been an extra £600-700. Sod that!!

Very nice. Do you know who the photographer was?

Bit surprising the 172 didnt crap all over the cup. That's why I'll never get TBs

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Looking good :) Also, have you noticed a significant drop in fuel economy?

Don't worry I will :) We'll do a proper photoshoot. Not sure where though as it's not road legal!!

You finally got some! Nice! Hope you like :)

Will look out for the results thread, still very tempted by this :)

^ Had a look last night. Looks very good, can't wait to see it in the flash sometime :)

I got the Bosch ones off ebay a few weeks ago. Couldnt recommend them enough :)

Thanks That was still in Paris, i'll be out on Cheltenham this week :) No ND in Paris as I didnt pack one :( Just the smallest aperture I could use, it was a sunny day as you can see, so I couldnt get a very low shutter speed.

Do you want show or go?

Even when the ESP is on, I think I'm right in saying it's only active when it flashes on on the dash. I leave it on because I never notice a difference on the road, on the track is another story though.

A very nice car......... Ruined :(

lol! Yeh a bit ;) Another shot, I think this is just too busy. I tried to get that shot capturing peoples movement, but as I had no tripod I had to find things to put the camera on :( Not entirely happy, but I'll be out in Cheltenham this week for some better shots :)

lol thanks. I had to be a bit stealthy for that shot, as I only had my 24-70, so it's not got that much reach on it, so I had to get quite close. I'm sure the women heard to shutter and started to turn round, but I walked off as soon as I get the shutter!

I had a quick business trip to Paris yesterday, luckily for me I was finished at lunchtime and my return flight was at 9pm. As I had my camera with me I spent the day wondering Paris :) Most of them are snapshot style photos, I still need to build up a bit more confidence...

^ Or know someone who has! ;) :)

As far as I know, using nitrogen in tyres only has benefits if you're going on track. On the road it's pointless.

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 This mod is gonna be very tempting for me next year if all goes to plan. What else did you do to the car exactly to cope with the charger? I can imagine some of the stock components get a bit stressed with that extra power!
