#1 and #6 were taken with the 70-200mm and the 300mm IS is the same as the 70-200mm mode 1 and mode 2 for panning.

All very nice captures with my favorite being number 4.



They all look a tad flat, more contrast perhaps or saturation?

More likely a result of the current lack of decent sunlight in the UK..

#4, #5 and #7 for me. Very nice indeed :)

I figured.


Another reason I shoot only RAW, helps to recover some of that.

Thanks, Maybe a little more effort post processing, #4 I shot in raw so I thought I would do a little adjusting in DPP, increased EV to +0.5, Saturation to 3. I think the orginal though was more true to life.

Thanks Geoff, I was at Snetterton for 3 days the light was good sometimes although mostly coming from the wrong direction, usually frontlit. #1 and #3 were taken with the Sun on my back.

Excellent shots,with all the gossip about the MKIII focus issues its good to see some proof that it does work.Love 2 and 4 and i think i have seen some of your pics from moto GP at Donnington on another forum and they were cracking aswell.

#5 and #7 are quite nice, but the colours seem weird in all of the others?

#3 and #4 are great! I do like the second version of #4, it's got more punch. What the heck is #5?

No 5 Is a sidecar race. Its more popular in UK & Europe than here in Australia. The passenger hangs out of the car, or puts his weight over the back wheel, this helps to keep it balanced. It's good to watch.
