Bloody nice pics in this thread.

We were pretty impressed with our new camera and lens... before seeing this thread.
Time to upgrade the lens before the supers! :lol:

I'll email some pics out tomorrow. I've only got the small pics at work.
The JPEG's are about 3Mp so I'd only send one at a time. If you ever wanted a bigger file I'd have to post it on CD.

I was in the middle of the track at the bottom of Lukey Heights (slow right hander). I was at the High octane club but when I wandered along the fence, I was able to get the great shots. I think the security guards were starting to get tired of my 'I didn't know I wasn't allowed to be here look' after most of the weekend. Well worth it though.

I last went to the superbikes in 98' and enjoyed it a lot more. Security was fairly relaxed and I was able to sit with the photographers all weekend. Helps if you 'look' professional with a big lens.

I use a Tamron 300mm F2.8 and have upgraded to digital lately. I still think slide is better but digital lets you see what youre doing straight away. The biggest thing with this type of photography is 'panning' with the subject. People think that it sounds easy...It's not. It takes me about 30 shots before I'm used to the speed of the bikes. Then you can start to decrease the shutter speed until the background is blured. Try this while you still have a 'cheap' lens before you think about upgrading. You'll be suprised with the differance in the photos once you start to get between 250th and 30th of a second.
Try making it before you buy it.
