Most of them we're on shutter priority mode, it did vary depending when the sun came out.

The first on of the Audi was F25 @ 1/80th ISO800, some didn't come out too well at 80th most we're fine at 1/125th.

... and as for the idiot without proper gear riding is one thing, popping wheelies in it is asking for skin loss

 

[al]

This one was with the 300mm lense and 2x.

Made a good pic tho!

He stopped doing em as he went past me then started again when he thought (i'm guessing) he was out of shot.

 

[daviebroon]

you should of wore hi viz while you were doing it.... you'd have been able to smell the brown sticky stuff as they drove past

 

[Rich]

What lenes have you got Al?

 

[al]

pmsl at the asda truck!

Since I took em I have "acuired" myself one for such comedy moments!!

I've got the stock 18-75mm that came with the camera and an 80-300mm (both original Minolta AF lenses) and a "no-brand" 2x.

The 600mm (300 2x) come out well because of the cameras inbuilt "anti shake".

 

[Rich]

Some decent reach there then.

 

[al]

Same lenses as used at FCS but hadn't really got to grips with the 2x back then

 

[al]

This was probably the hardest shot to get as he was really giving it some! :S

 

[buckas]

first few shots you can see dust on your sensor, sensor either needs cleaning or don't shoot above f15 lol

Panning works best with 1/100th or 1/125th, and you should remember to lock your autofocus to center focus point. At least thats how I'm shooting with my eos 300D.

But some good pics anyway

 

[Rich]

All depends how good at panning you are nothing wrong with 1/80th pans if you can pull them off. I can't though ... 1/100 is still my limit!

Don't get any noise over F15 at all, think it just needs a blow.

Tried at various shutter speeds and it really does depend on the lighting conditions but with the inbuilt anti-shake I can afford to go a few steps down anyway

Autofocus was set to centre and continous autofocus.

Yep The last ones we're at the bridge near Wooley Services on the M1.

This one was at 1/80th.

If you download the pic and look at the "Summary" tab under "Properties" it tells you all the photo information.
