Went up to Knockhill today with my nephew to test out my new 300mm lens.
Here are a few i got. Any comments welcome. Back again tommorow so will post some more then.










And a few of the others i got

And now for something completely different...

Haha, j/k, these are all wonderful images Wull. The focus looks perfect, the pans spot-on, composition is great. I only have two things to say: the exposure looks great in all of them except the last one (a bit too dark), and duck-taped knee pucks, really? Those have got to go!

That's looking good.
So, a 300mm prime?
And nice wide aperture?
Just the thing - as long as you can carry it !

Thanks for the comments.
Have to agree Brad, New leathers required. He lost a slider during qualifying and wasnt taken any chances for the races. Gaffer tape to the rescue

Paul. Its a 70 - 300mm 1:4.5-5.6G and i am over the moon with it:thumbsup:

Here are a couple i got of the wee fella yesterday and i know yous are probably bored looking at the same thing from me but the C&C from you all has helped me improve to a point where i am almost happy with some of the photos i take







Any comments good or bad appreciated

Thanks again
Wull

I think it's fixed your focus issues !
Your panning is good, too.
I reckon you've got a good combination here.

That really dark shot at f/16 would probably have been better shot with a wider aperture, it looks underexposed.

Poor lad needs a sponsor to pay for more leathers, rather than using gaffer tape !

:thumbsup: They look awesome! Huge improvement in a short time and I love the duct tape on the knee puck :lol:

More great photos! #1 in this second set is probably my favorite of all your photos, Wull. It's superb. The framing is perfect, focus/panning looks spot-on, colors are great, and the lighting is excellent. It looks every bit a professional shot.

Thanks very much for your comments and all the help :thumbsup:

Off to Oulton park at the weekend so will be at it again. Going to try and think about the backgrounds a bit more and try not to cut bikes in half and folks heads off :mad2:

Thanks again Wull
