As already reported in a previous thread Sunday was Cams National Championship day.
These are a couple of my keeper. All were taken with 80-400VR
Also meet up with MCWB (Trent) and had a good day.
Any comment welcome.

Great photos, all nice and sharp. I like the front-on truck shot at 3# with the big plume of smoke.
If I was being picky with the composition, I'd normally like to see a little more room in front of the car for it to "drive into".

Barry, well done on these and the 80-400 has worked well for you as this is a good lens a bit slow at times for this type of work in focussing but has worked well for you here. Nice pics and looked like a nice day for it and least you had some reach and needed at times.

Good sharp photos Barry. There's one
big problem with your images though. You're making me lust after the 80-400
Wish I hadda known you were out there with Trent. I would've enjoyed catching up with the two of you.

Thanks for comments guys.
Jonas will keep your comment in mind.
John, I agress lens is a bit slow in autofocus, haven't got mey technique right yet. I find most often I get best results using manual focus.
I lent lens to Trent who used it in af. Be interested to see his results.
