Went with a mate to Elvington yesterday as he was doing one of those rally experiences. Had a great day, although it was chuffing cold. Made the most of what I could, we were only allowed to stand in one area which was poor. Shooting with 450D + Tamron 70-300 + 50mm f1.8. C+C...

Well to steal Ukaskews' idea, i thought i might summarise this years motorsport photographing season. Doing 1 photo from each event. The significance being i took photography up in December. So the hope would be the photos will get better as we go along. Early New year testday: Brands Hatch...

Saw a Black 172 at ABP Motorsport in Shavington, Crewe today. It was having a full Miltech System installed and Service/MOT, Unfortunatley it failed MOT and needed discs and pads all round :dapprove:. Anyone's on here ?

Thought I would post a few of my Motorsport efforts from 2008, as I don't think I've posted any in the Photography section before, and I'm bored. Called time on the remaining events this year due to taking it easy whilst I wait for my op, and only having a D50 and one charged battery (no...

Im still on 16 but i really feel i have a need to drive. Joyriding is an option:rasp: but i have more sense than that. Anyone got any ideas? As much speed and fun for as little money as possible:)

Simon claimed pole for the race yesterday in the Dunlop Sportmaxx Cup. Unfortunately, he spun in the first corner at Paddock, but made his way back through the field from last to finish third overall. Couple of pics...

Ive been searching on here for what people are using for motorsport/sports photography, but cant really get a definitive answer...there seems to be mixed opinions......i have a 350d, after say a 70-300mm, should i go canon, or sigma? or something else? thanks!

Hi guys, Been going through my World Series pictures, and I've come away with very few useable pictures. Silverstone isn't an easy place to get a clean shot as there are so many fences. As a newbie, I also have what can be described as "budget" equipment (a 400D with a £100 Sigma 70-300mm...

Anyone have any dimensions or close up pics etc of the ex Motorsport Vision half cages? As i can't seem to find one for sale i was thinking of knocking one up. Any info/pics regarding fixing points would be handy along with tube diameters. Please dont turn this into a 'whats the point in that...

Went to Brean Rally Stages today and tried the DSLR out for the first time. Any tips for improvement or advice would help as I didn't really know what I was doing. But here is my fave 3: 1. 2. 3. All of these are straight out of the camera no PP as I haven't really got a clue how to do...

I strangely enjoyed writing the photography guide during my Christmas break last year, so this year I decided to go into more detail with the motorsport side of things. As always these are only what I personally have found to work for me, so treat them as a rough guide or as something different...

I was just, ahem, looking on the MSW website and noticed they're selling off excess stock of Eibach Pro's at £110 and Eibach Sportlines at £102, both for 98> Clios. http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ Thought it worthwhile posting up in case anyone's thinking about an early Christmas present...
