Hi All, just a few thrills and spills from speedway last nite. Was very warm as was 40c late in the afternoon but cooled down early eve.
Was a good nite and i still hate using flash and i was surrounded by canon user's and seen 1 with a Metz flash so i now have a Metz 60ct-2 to try out next meeting. Ok well have Drags tomorrow to go shoot so should be good as long as it doesn't get too hot.
Enjoy







Cheers

Nice action shots. Is the idea to rough race. It looks fun!

G'day mate,
Always enjoy your motor racing stuff...

What class is #2 and #5???

The last couple look expensive

Great action shots!!
What is your lens of choice for these?
Thinking of buying the 70-200 2.8hsm sigma, any good for these type of fast action shots?

Nice grabs, boy you have to be soooo quick to get the prangs. Well Done!
How many photo's do you take during an evening like this? And what is your keep rate like? If you don't mind me asking...

Hi John

Great shots as usual,the last shot is my favorite.
Jeff

Thanks fella's, ok sorry had lots of visitors tonite so will try answer your questions.

#2 and 5 is a class they call super rods, they usually race these at Warnambool in Victoria.

Terminator, I always use my Sigma 70-200. It is my 99% lens as i use it for all the pics i take. I use the Nikon 300m F2.8 only in some corners where i am shooting bikes and so on.

Mal, i would take 300 + and well not many looser on daytime pics, but nite i hate shooting as well i gather no one can get a perfect shot i spose in darkness and under our light situations. Unfortunately we dont have good lights like they have in the big cities and stadiums in USA that lights the place like daylight and when your standing anywhere up to 20 meters away is hard.
I have aquired a Metz flash big sucker and going to give that a try next meeting.

Ok well off to bed soon have a 45min drive to the country drag stip here to have a play.
Cheers

Great shots. That last one looks like things are aabout to get ugly

Hey mate... Was jealous as hell yesterday when I could see you in the footage I was editing! and then to see these pics

I would have joined you, but us silly buggers had to run in our engines and this silly bugger ended up with some heat issues (I was crook!)

Enjoy the drags! catch up soon!

Jonesy, mate when u sms me telling me what you was doing i thought to myself your Crazy. Run in or not i would not have been out there in that heat running in a motor no matter what. LOL Well hope u feel better mate and i know what that heat can do too you as have suffered heat stroke once before, not nice.

Oh well mate just wait till i process my Drag shots, although got cut short as it rained, oh well lots of pics to do be good.

Excellent work again John

Go Sigma power!
