I bought it on the weekend. Used it a little at Croft on Sunday but as it is my first digital SLR, I don't really have anything to compare it to. So far it seems fine!

These 3 would have to be im my top 3 pics taken.
Hope you enjoy.

Here's a couple of my favourites

Right place, right time to see a historic mini rollover!

And I like the speed in this shot of Lowndes heading towards Forrests Elbow

hi,
all of the pictures in this thread are truly awesome

my son took this one:

he is by no means a proffesional and the camera it was taken on was a kodac from boots.
i thought id share it with you as he is really surprised how well it came out. it is by far his favourite and its also his brother so it has a good meaning.

thanks

Taken at Brands, the Tigers display team at the DTM meeting.

Sigma SD9 with 28-300 lens.

I just love the colour depth.

Though this is a tiddly jpeg which doesn't do the full X3F pic justice!!

One of my favourite shots taken at a race meeting.

PDS · 20 Nov 2006, 19:23 (Ref:1770848)

Here are two pictures that I am particularly happy with!

dazbaz_99 · 20 Nov 2006, 19:31 (Ref:1770853)

Love that BTCC shot PDS, those were the days eh!

They would look awesome framed.

gregc · 24 Nov 2006, 20:21 (Ref:1774314)

First off, my first post here so hi

Some great shots in this thread, these are two favourites of my own - can't choose between them, so I'll cop out and post both

racer-gal · 26 Nov 2006, 09:15 (Ref:1775108)

nice photos!
on the one of thommo, were you on a corner?
cos the back inside wheel is really clear and the front isn't!
its awsome!

what camera are you using?

gregc · 26 Nov 2006, 13:07 (Ref:1775266)

Thanks

Yeah, the Thommo one was taken at the entry to Druids, one of my favourite spots at any circuit - if you look closely you can see some smoke coming off the tyre where it's locked up.

As for the camera it's a Fujifilm S7000 - it's not ideal for motorsport as there is a bit of shutter lag, but I find if I pre-focus I get some decent results. Plus I'm too lazy to carry an SLR and associated gear around...

racer-gal · 28 Nov 2006, 19:30 (Ref:1776894)

nice one!

now can anyone tell me the best camera for motorsport that isn't going to leave a massive hole in my pocket or make my arms ten times longer because its big and heavy???

olly83 · 29 Nov 2006, 23:30 (Ref:1778176)

Not sure it's my best, but it's one of my favourites

(The one of Tom Coronel's car on fire)

Tim the Grey · 30 Nov 2006, 12:16 (Ref:1778545)

You can pick up a used Oly E-1 for around £250... Including the big battery pack. Lenses are available, the 40-150 comes in under £100 NEW, so a used one will be less.
See the Donington Testing thread for images this lens can produce?
There are plenty of other options based around Canon and Nikon and Pentax and Minolta/Sony, just don't buy NEW...

That photo is breathtaking! Love it!

My favourite pic would be:

Metro 6r4 and Ford RS200 at Lydenn Hill Aug 05

few laps before the metro rolled!

That second one is awesome!!

pplater · 3 Dec 2006, 19:39 (Ref:1781084)

What was the Pshopping about? extra air?

SimonRR · 4 Dec 2006, 17:14 (Ref:1781789)

Nope, just removing some of the crowd in the background - that was the actual air he was getting!

New D-SLR this year, so hopefully will be able to focus out the background.

Out of interest.. Where did you shoot this from at Macau, and how did you get to that position...?
