    How to improve panning?

    Quite happy with some pics I've been through so far from the F1 on the weekend, but want a bit of advice on how to improve my panning. Is it possible to get all cars in focus in a shot like this? Would I be right in thinking the shot below would be near impossible as the cars are...

    F1 Race Day

    First event with my SLR so happy to have some useable shots. Only editting has been cropping and slight adjustment in basic brightness, contrast and colour in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. These are just a few from the Sunday, not had a chance to look through others as I took 8000+ photos...

    Nikon worth so much more?

    Sigma 70-300mm APO - £180-ish Nikon 70-300mm VR - £390-ish A massive difference between these to justify the price difference? I'm using a Nikon D60, am just getting into photography, need it majorly for F1 next month and want to go to other motoring/racing events but also want to try some...

    Monaco SLR shots

    Decided to take a bit of time out to try out my D60. Only editting has been some cropping and one B&W. Can't decide on these two is B&W is better or not. What do you guys think?

    Wondering what is the best SDHC card to use, still the SanDisk Extreme III? I'm thinking of getting a couple of 4GBs by the way, if that makes a difference.

    Monaco Blue colour match

    Is it a difficult colour for body shops to match? Need a couple of scuffs sorted on the front bumper from when I bought it, but don't want the whole bumper looking slightly different. Also, are the halfords touch up pens any good on the colour match for the small paint chips/touch ups? Thanks.

    Live View important?

    I'll be wanting to do motorsport photography with it so is Live View much prefered for this?? Better for composition? I was thinking D60 but it does not have Live View like the Canon 1000D.

    Does this make sense to lenses?

    I need a bit of help with tele lens values please guys. ATM I have a 35mm equivalent of 114mm. So would zooming 2x into the picture on my PC show what I could achieve if I had 228mm lense? I'm considering what size lense I would need for Silverstone this year if I get a DSLR. This is 100%...

    FAO those with no sidelights.

    Anyone had any problems? Have taken mine out and hoping its all safe and won't cause any lights to come on the dash after a while or issues when deciding to keep them in after being out for a while, etc?

    Blue ph1 - questionable parking

    I wasn't parked much better but I was trying to avoid the trolleys on the curb. Longacres Garden Cente, Bargshot around 1230. Thought it'd be rude not to park next to it.

    Would you Pros recommend this as a step in the right direction?

    I’ve had a small interest in photography for many years but never really made anything more it. My budget is far too small for a DSLR so this is the closest I can get and at just over £200, it’s a good price for me. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. 10.1MP 1/2.33" sensor size 35mm Equiv...

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    Dropped the bugger while reconnecting the battery, I know it fell on the panel underneath the engine because I could see but moved it out of sight trying to get to it. What's the best way to get it out? And sitting at the bottom its not dangerous is it?

    New Monaco to the site.

    Finally after a couple months of looking, I got my 172. Its in pretty good condition for its age, a few stone chips on the front that will be sorted in Spring time, and a few surface scratches that should polish out. Not been washed yet, but I love how reflective the colour...

    Telling insurance it's an import

    Is it necessary or are they not strictly imports? Cat 1 alarm and locking wheel nuts will be fitted ASAP after I get it, so it'll all be up to Uk spec.

    Cat 1 or Cat 2-1 alarm for import?

    Opinions guys, its not much more for a full cat 1 alarm fitted but is it necessary or will a 2-1 be just as good? Better to have it programmed for the keys to work the alarm instead of separate fobs? Any alarm recommendations?

    iphone vs i900 omnia

    A good review here: http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-omnia-i900-08x06x10.htm Anyone compared the Omnia direct to the iphone themselves? The Omnia has better camera with flash, zoom and video mode, flash for net browsing and divX support. But any thoughts if these are enough to tempt...

    N96 & DVB-H

    Anyone actually got the TV feature working. I read it was trialed in 2006 in Oxford and Cambridge but can't find out if its national yet. I'd be well tempted to buy it if I could watch Dave on it, but its not on channel list :( N85 and i-player otherwise

    172s still to get cheaper???

    Having an arguement/discussion with my Dad, he reckons I could save a few hundred on a ph2 172 (around £3.5k-4k currently) buying it in Nov/Dec instead of now. What do you guys reckon?

    Did you buy a 3rd party warranty for your RS?

    As per title really. Has anyone bought one for peace of mind when buying second hand? Been quoted around £290 for a ph2 172 for a year and includes a long list of things inc. failed parts due to wear and tear and replacement keys. Saw another similar for around £250. Any opinions on this?
