Best: Looks, handling, exhaust note, power (once engine nicely loosened up) Worst: 6th gear too low, crap mpg

or learn what white balance is then you don't have to put every photo through photoshop.

No filters. Tamron 28-75 f2.8 I think, although it might've been Nikon 18-200VR, can't remember which I was using at the time.

The ones posted are the jpgs, I shot in RAW as well but haven't done anything with them yet.

and it goes better than my 172 ever did :eek:

Nikon D300 & Tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens. Emmy (the top pic) likes the shots too :o

I've taken around 900 pics in the last 3 days :o Thursday... photographing Emmy the Great/exlovers in Gloucester > Then Friday morning some scenic stuff around Crickhowell. And some sheep. before heading to Chepstow for the Wyedean rally scrutineering... my 197 with mate's...

I'd rather spend time driving it around the lanes than sitting at home with my sponge and duster.

Good pics, I'd have done a tighter crop on the first one to lose the bit were it looks like the stone wall ends and a fence begins but that's a personal preference.

Tamron 28-75 f2.8 is pretty good, similar price to the Sigma one I think.

Renault one. Thanks for comments :) I forgot I had some pics on the other cam too...

Took a detour on the way home from a model shoot...

Don't believe the camera manufacturer hype, more megapixels does not mean a better camera or better quality images.... 3.1 sharp megapixels are better than 10.2 blurred ones! Read the guide at the top of the page and the manual and then practice lots!

standing too close to the car? lenses have a minimum focus distance, might be too close if it doesn't have a macro feature.

I agree with the above, especially if you are planning on shooting motorsport.

Thanks, it's not too far away, I'll maybe have a trip there with someone I've worked with in Warrington. The jetty looks a good spot.

Yes it is the same bridge but one has the little waterfall bit on and one doesn't. I liked both so stuck them both on here. There's no point having 18Gb of memory and taking one view of each scene :)

Nice pics, I like the reflection of the tree one best.

Aye, and it's not far away from Giggleswick!

Thanks, no it's a different Stainforth, it's around 3 miles north of Settle.

Ye olde Yorkshire bridges weren't designed for 197s... I got over this with around 2cm either side of each wing mirror :eek:

It's a shadow of a tree, I thought about moving the car but decided it looked quite good!

I had a photo job to do in Bentham today so it would've been rude not to have a little drive around the Dales roads while I was there :) Apologies for the dirty ass :o

Behind the Parr Hall in Warrington? Here's one a couple I took there last weekend...

I've never done drip shots before, here's two efforts... I was trying to get the water in the centre of the shadow of the spoon in the first one but failed :o

Yes, just get a wireless transmitter/receiver. Plenty of HK shops sell them for around £10-£15. On some Nikon's you can use the pop-up flash to trigger off-camera flash but I don't think the D40 has that facility? Check your menu to see if there is a Commander mode for the pop-up flash to make...

I use a SB600 and 800 both on and off the camera. You can stick a wireless transmitter on the hotshoe to trigger them which is what the photographer at the graduation will've been doing. I expect he was using a studio flash rather than a SB600/800 type flash?

I've got photoshop but I don't use it, mainly because I haven't a clue how to :o I'll have a look and suss it out. (I manually typed a space in on the pic above)
