Lost and Found

The seasons coming to an end, only two more events this year for me, both of which probably aren't worth going to. Anyway, I was just going through some pics from this year and picked out a few to post. All taken with the 20D and 100-400.

Wow! Super shots there! All of them are so good im struggling to find my favourite.
It has to be the Benetton F1 car, loving the angle one that...

Motorcycle shots are excellent, I cant get that excited about cars although the vintage racer is cool. 100-400 looks really good.

please tell me how you get that motion blur in the background!? were you moving the cam on a tripod or such? thnx

Excellent stuff.

To get "motion blur" you need to use a slowish shutter speed. Depends on the situation but you can't go too far wrong with 1/250sec. IMO nothing worse that motorsport shots that look "frozen" without any motion. These shots are all bang on :)

practice, experiment, practice, practice, practice, experiment. :D

All handheld. Shutter speeds for images 1,3,4,5,6 are 1/160th or 1/125th which produces the background blur, #2 is a higher shutter speed 1/250th probably. Bokeh plays a role as well with the backgrounds and the 100-400 does an acceptable job, not a 2.8 type job but a good job. :cool:

Thanks for comments!
