That's the compression effect from a long telephoto lens, they were quite a long way from the incident. Aside from myself, Steve/Animal and another guy there was nobody else around.

Yep tangled wheels with the Wiltshire College car and just speared off towards the barrier, I saw in unfolding so started moving back almost straight away, crashes there are very rare but when they do happen they are always big. Won't be too long before they catch fence that stretch of track.

Avon Rise, the barrier doesn't stop, just an overlap to allow access but you can't see it due to the angle of the pics.

I was stood in my usual place at Castle Combe on Monday, me and about 2 or 3 other people around that particular area (it's not a great spectating spot, but it's the fastest part of the circuit), then this happened... http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4825 Amazingly...

3D Tracking is useless in my opinion, AFC with manual focus point selection all the way for moving objects. You will probably also find that the Olympus is quite agressive in its JPEG processing 'out of the box'. My Pen is the same, sharpness and noise reduction have been dialled down to -2...

You can bolt pretty much any lens ever made to Micro 4/3, if a lens mount exists you can be sure an adaptor exists. I've never looked into the official adaptor, but I'm currently bidding on some old Canon FD lens' as lots of people have had superb results with them, plus they are cheap and...

G3 is a lovely bit of kit but annoyingly Panasonic are going down the 'simplifying' route at the moment, they've removed a lot of external controls. That's why I went with the GH2 (but then again it's my only DSLR style body), although I ended up paying more for lots of video functionality which...

That was the thing for me, loved my D90 and loved my 70-200 2.8 even more, but I was hardly using it. The Pen gets chucked in the car when I drive places (just incase) and is always with me when I walk anywhere. Depth of field was the most pleasent surprise of the whole thing, I wondered if I...

Tempelhof looks amazing, presumably some interior areas are accessible to all and others are technically out of bounds there?

Ran the battery dead on my Pen yesterday creating this. Good fun going along to an event with a project in mind, made me look at all the cars in a lot of detail as well, amazing stuff. Wilton House Supercar Day 2011 by Harry_S, on Flickr

I'm in Hilperton just outside Trowbridge (all Black Ph1 172)

Yep, and the Olympus EP3 has gone quicker still. They are referring to locking onto relatively static objects though. In theory AF on a mirrorless camera is far more flexible (it's only now really being put into practice)...the GF3 for example has touch-screen AF, so you can pick a small focus...

Speed is the one area they fall down (particuarly for fast movement). The AF speed of the newer models is easily comparable to an entry level DSLR, but the limitation of constrast detect AF is that it struggles to track fast movement, particuarly if the subject is moving directly towards or away...

Perhaps I should have said hopeless for me at the moment, I'm doing lots of travelling in the next few months so wanted a set up with a solid existing/confirmed line up. The 12mm f2, 20mm 1.7, 45mm 1.8 combo was too tempting for me (with an 8mm fisheye temporarily added for New York later this...

That sounded awesome until I googled it.

It was the X100 that got me interested in the first place, in the end I decided I wanted a little more flexibility so went with a Pen, the range of primes is superb and increasing all the time. A couple of weeks in and I realised there was no point in keeping my D90 as the Pen was comfortably...

For the 4th time in 5 years we headed to Ibiza for our summer holiday, this time finally moving away from Portinatx to the almost as picturesque resort of Cala Llonga (in comfortably the best hotel we've ever stayed in). In 11 days we barely moved aside from a night in Ibiza Town and another in...

I'm pretty sure you won't get AF with that lens and a TC as the sensor won't be receiving enough light. At that kind of money you would be better off getting one of the zoom lenses that go up to 400mm rather than try to do anything with your Sigma. The Nikon TCs are amazing (and justify the...

Not a massive difference, but I've always had top notch lens' on my D90 so it will be hard to say until I get the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 (THE lens for Micro 4/3s), the D90 handles higher ISO better, although the PEN is by no means bad. One area the PEN does win is the colours straight from the...

As above really, Sony has the bigger sensor, Micro 4/3 has far better lens support. The Olympus E-PL1 would be a good choice, about £230 new. I only use my DSLR for motorsport now, everything else is shot with the Pen.

Yep it's a 50mm through the PEN. There is an 11mm f1.4 CCTV lens which I'd like to get hold of, that one doesn't seem to be as common though.

I removed the Minimalist Text weather widget as I noticed Maps was eating the majority of my battery. Much much better now, it's currently showing 2d 4hrs on battery and it's only down to 35%, the battery hogs on my status are now Android OS, Android System and Display, which is how it should be.

One of the benefits of the Micro 4/3s system is a staggering range of customization. With the right adaptor my little Olympus Pen will accept just about any lens ever made, even if it wasn't made for a stills camera. Exhibit A is my impossibly small CCTV lens, 25mm with a maximum aperture of...

Just moved from iPhone to the Galaxy S2, not sure if I have a lemon but I'm regretting it at the moment... 1) Fully charged by 9:30pm last night, shopped around on Android Market for about 45 minutes, played Grand Prix Story for 10 minutes, them messed around organising widgets for about 15...

The official camp site, can't remember the name of it. Scott - I just don't personally think it's worthwhile spending a lot of time/money trying to get good pics, a club day at Castle Combe or somewhere is far more rewarding when it comes to photos you might look back on in years to come...

I went for the FIA GT a few weeks back (first event on the full GP Circuit)...my advice would be to leave your camera at home. http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/FIAGT The marshals were quite relaxed, every stand was open and hardly anyone was there, yet it was still pretty...

409,744 It's all fairly meaningless though, my most popular photo has 15,000 views, but that's just because it's been picked up highly in certain Yahoo Image searches. My two most favourited photos (63 and 48 faves) only have 3000 views between them. Plus as others have mentioned, stick them...

Potentially stupid question time: If I'm not using the online features (ie Youtube, renting movies etc) but just streaming content already on my iPad to the ATV, will this use my up my monthly internet bandwith quota?

It's a Toro Rosso ;)

Worth a nosey, maybe...? http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Projects/Wallpapers/2560x1440
