It's all this bloody rain, I got it nicely covered in Welsh mud the other day and it's washed off :dapprove:
Ah well, it'll be in the forests again in a couple of weeks!
Aye I'll do some pics with yours if you want, leave it parked by that roundabout again one night :)
Some nice shots, some potentially really good ones let down by the camera not being held level - or maybe your right leg is shorter than your left one :eek:
Try using the gridlines if your camera has that facility, or invest in a small spirit level that fits on the flash hotshoe.
The other...
You don't have to use polarisers on any of them but given that budget I'd have them on the 10-20 and 18-200. You could economise and buy one filter and a step-up ring but changing filters is a pain in the bum.
Nigel, have you tried ebay for filters? The 77mm Hoya/Kenko Pro 1 wideband polarisers...
Aye, that's the Canon equivalent of tracking focus. That's generally the best setting for rallying, although if doing a jump shot where the cars appears in view in the air then best to use the other method (can't remember the name on Canon?) or manual focus.
Trees and branches... tip 2: carry...
If that's how they came off the camera I'd suggest not trying to get the car to totally fill the frame as a) less chance off missing half the car and b) rallying often has interesting backgrounds which add to the picture and give more of a story rather than it being just a shot of the car eg...
I meant Hoya when I said Hama :o
Price depends on what quality you go for, the Pro 1D wideband 77mm one I use is over £100 if you buy them here, around £30 from HK including postage.
Linear polarisers bugger up the AF so if you're using AF you should get a circular one.
They're only expensive if you buy from UK shops, plenty of deals with the ebay HK sellers. Hama/Kenko Pro 1 filters are excellent :)
