Motorbikes Victorian Titles Phillip Island

Postby BBJ on Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:20 pm

Hello All, well i have been to Phillip Island over the weekend for state titles. Went with a mate as his son was racing in the 125's and give me a chance to sort out my spots for Moto GP, although i have a blister under my foot from walking so did not wonder too far yesterday.

Anyhow here are a few pics and i might do a part 2 later, first pic shot at 600m, others 300m focal length.

Once again John they are all great. Excellent detail.
I really like the way you capture the heat haze of the exhaust, in particular in the 1st shot. :wink:

How did your mate's son go in the 125's?

Thanks Mark, he did ok but was a new bike and first time racing at the Island, but all was ok till last race as he fell off, nothing major bit of cosmetic damage to the bike and a scratch.

These 125's are unreal and have a top speed of around 230ks which is a lot of speed out of a lil 125.

Thanks Jonesy, mate i was near gonna ring you see if i could borrow that lens, maybe GP in 4 weeks as would be good for wide angle shots as tried to use the kit lens but not fast enough.

John, do you pan with the 300mm on a mono-pod or handheld? Any hints?

I was utterly shagged (and not in the enjoyable way) after a day of handheld at Oran Park.

Great pics (as usual) by the way, nice and sharp, that 300mm is sharp!

Cheers,

Alan.

Alan, mate i know how it feels and yes i have done it without monopod and dont anymore. I do pan with it and always use the pod whenever i am going to use the 300 as it is to heavy to hold all day and is the only time i would use the pod.

I will either sit my hand on the top to steady it or i put the tips of my fingers holding the lens hood which then steadies it as like at the Island on the weekend it was a bit windy so helps.

These pics i have not touched other than adjust levels and curves, and at 600m= 900m in 35m terms i still find it focus very fast and sharp enough, but i do only use the 2xtc on nice sunny days.
