I got to try out my new 1.6x tele for the S1. I like the reach of the lens now, but the S1's autofocus stinks for things moving this fast. I had to use manual focus mode, which also sucks. I took 1500 photos with about 100 keepers. I am now in the process of selling one of my cars to purchase a 20D and lenses. :p


Overall I had a riot playing with my new circular polarizer, shutter speeds, white balances, and panning technique. I was there for two days and wore out my shoes walking from point to point to point to get to the good spots.

Not bad for a point and shoot and from the spectator spots.

I don't mind at all. You weren't shooting from the spectator areas were you? I don't suppose SpeedArena needs a helper next year do they? I'm a member of vwvortex and webmaster/photographer for michiganvw.org. :mrgreen:

I don't think you were using a S1 for yours either, just a guess.
