normally i would have done pics similar to urs using program mode with higher shutter speed.

but it was lesson one and i was using shutter speeds of 1/80 to make things less stationary!

and i'm well happy with the results i have to say! :D

Nice pics tho mate.

I started panning more later on in the day (some of the shots at the bottom of page 3 have got a bit more motion to them) but even then I was paranoid about trying to keep things sharp so I don't think I went any slower than 1/400 at any point.

First motorsport event with a DSLR for me - roll on Croft for a bit more practice, methinks. :)

Just takes practice :)

I think I was using 1/200 most of the time.

somewhere near you.
Was a good day despite the pain and discomfort.

Good to see some familiar faces like Amanda and Chris. Thanks to them for their support of the mini Tollies. I'm aware that having somoene standing watching you can make the simplest task infinately difficult. :lol:

Hi to Andy, Lee, Gav, Mr & Mrs Fozzy. It's good to meet new faces... hope I've remembered your names correctly. Look forward to seeing you all again soon.
