Getting to grips with a new lens, especially one thats considerably heavier than the one you're used to takes quite a bit of practise. As you only had it for a short time, I think you've done pretty well.

I was busy in the paddock so offered Matt the use of my lens.

I can't argue with that.

I'd have been tempted to zoom in a bit closer on #1 to lose the fence though. Fences behind the car are generally hard to avoid, but fences in the foreground are another matter :)

Point taken. Yeah, but there were trees and it was raining so you know.. :D

Just cropped it closer. Is this better?
