Silverstone Classic meet

Hi everyone

I had the wonderful experience of going to the Silverstone Classic meeting on Sunday. What a lot to see, hear and even touch, it was a wonderful day.

Thought I would share the days sights with my fellow POTN petrol heads.

Here are a few shots:

Nice shots in your gallery Ken. you might think about embedding up to 8. You liable to get more comments that way.

very nice shots ken,looks like it was a fun day out

Hi Ken

Some very interesting shots there. I'm assuming that you are using the 1D MkIII for these. It would be helpful to me (and I'm sure others) if we could see the EXIF data. It really helps with the learning curve to see what settings work best. For example, what settings did you use when tracking moving racers, the lens, exposure scheme, single or multiple frame + rate.
I'm tempted to make the trip to exercise my kit a bit more. This is what our pro-Canons are built for!

It was a fantastic day there was so much going on all at the same time, so you didn't know what look at or photograph first.

Thanks Luke, you are correct and I must admit that I always like to look at the Exif details, when viewing others work. You have prompted me in to looking into the settings of the gallery software and see if I can turn the Exif detail on .

You were right in your assumption, it was indeed the 1Dmk3 and I look my 24-105L f4 for close shots, for the long shots I used my 100-400L zoom. The track shots were Tv mode, 1/250-1/320 and AI servo, centre AF.
