Hi all,

Another weekend spent trackside at the V8 Supercar series. Needless to say it was good fun, but bloody hot! Thanks to Jeff for putting me up on Saturday night.

Love #1 for obvious reasons, and #4 for the mesmerizing reflections.

Thanks guys.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to catch up Barry, between shooting the V8's and writing an article, I didn't get much of a chance to do much else. Other than hassle pit chicks that is.

Pehpsi, I was realy focussing on my panning shot, I didn't try any slower than 1/60. FOund it much easier panning at these slower speeds with the 300 2.8 handheld. Makes me look like a big man also. :roll:

Mickey, I didn't even think of the sponsor issue. It is funny, I'm sure bigpond love it!

Michael, you could have been there. bitch. :lol:

Another 1/60th, Camern McConville this time

Fabian Coulthard happy to at least look at the camera.

Love em Alan, think there may be a touch too much contrast in the second one for a portrait though... Might be my monitor.

The 1/60ths are coming out fantastic though, well done!

Oops can't count, edited...

300 2.8? its the 120-300 2.8 :P

i have to admit i get better results handholding the 300 at 1/60 as well, its very odd, as i cant seem to get consistant results with the 70-200 at 1/60 handheld and the 300 is like 2kg heavier but does seem to balance alot more

On the 70-200 I use the zoom as I pan, but wish the zoom was at the front of the lens! It's too uncomfortable for me at the back..

As usual Alan these are all good. The weekend was good just a bit hot . Great results at 1/60 ,I haven't tried that slow but there is always next week.
Thanks again for your help with that with the sequence all seems to be going well.
