Well, I'm back and good to catch up with everyone on Saturday. Sorry about Sunday Adam, caught up with some friends and didn't really get any futher...

Bloody fences and people in the way and first outing with the D200... heres a couple from the weekend (all with sigma 70-200)

Nice mate. Real nice.
1 and 3 are the standouts for me.

The Richards car clipping the ripple strip is really good.

I hope you are happy with these. You should be.

Yeah, I'm happy that I got a few as good as these... Just couldn't get close enough to the fence to make it disapear for most of the others. Sunday most of the time it was 2 - 3 people deep off the fence, shooting through heads and hats! I think next year we should all get a DSLRUsers fluro vest with a number each... and see how far we can get

Good shots Jonesy,No1 is my choice.

Number 1 and 3 do it for me, great shots, you had a good spot on the track.

The aircraft is a nice capture too, although I wouldn't have known it was part of the event except you posted it in this sequence of 4 shots.

very nice, I'm getting excited about the Grand Prix in a few weeks.

Could you have taken in a 80-400 to the Clipsal 500, I think the F1 say nothing over 300mm without a media pass. I could take the 70-200 with a TC, but wondering about the 80-400??? any tips?

I love the angle the cars around the corner.

There didn't appear to be any restrictions. people on gates just checking for glass, booze and that sort of thing. They just saw I had a camera and didnt care about size.

Big V had the 80-400(?) fozzie and Adame had the teleconverters on, plus there were other with 300mm 2.8 etc. Not sure on the rules for F1 though. so maybe a 70-200 with a 2x in your pocket

Tips? if you have to shoot through a fence like these were try and be as close as you can and have the fence in shade... Put the camera down for a bit and enjoy the race as well
