My 2012 Motorsports Highlights



  Oil Burner
Well it's that time of the year again! It doesn't seem like 5 mins i was putting up my 2011 selection!


I'm afraid this is a huge selection of images. Hopefully the TP gods will turn a blind eye on this occasion!


A few perhaps boring - perhaps interesting stats on the images in this selection. Obviously this doesnt represent anywhere near the total images, i would anticipate this was nearer 60-70k this year. But i did find the Lens and Body choices interesting.


Which Camera:
35 taken with 1dmk3
10 with 7d (speaks volumes of my view of the 7d compared to 1d!)
1 with gopro2


Which Lens:
8 taken with 17-40
28 taken with 70-200 2.8 non IS
1 taken with 70-200 2.8 non IS + 1.4x TC (huge cut back in using the 1.4x this year!)
4 taken with 300 f4 IS
1 taken with 300 F4 IS +1.4x
3 taken with 400 2.8 IS


Other slightly surprising stats:
27 shots taken 1/80th or below
9 taken 1/400 or above
Only 5 shots taken above F11 (having the ND filter paying off!)
Only 4 of these images were taken above ISO 400. (Not exactly using that High ISO ability!)


Anyway - now to the pics. I've tried to put them roughly into order.

Absolutely cracking collection there. Hard to pick a favourite to be honest.

Really like the Olympic bikes though and .34 though.
 
Great images, but then again I always enjoy your posts.
Interesting lens/body stats too.
My personal favourite is probably #7.
Have to ask, did the Golf on 2 wheels get saved or did it roll?!
