Dudes & Dude-ettes,

Have a look at these two piccies i took with my Canon 400D and Sigma 70-300 DG APO at the last round of the BTCC.

These are my first ever piccies with my new kit and i have touched up slightly in photoshop, but i would really like a feel from you peeps as to what you think.

Be Gentle please - LOL

Hi mate,

I like these shots...for a first attempt they are great. I am trying to get a bit more motion in my shots, learning slowly. I find Brands a hard track to shoot myself so good job

Good shots. The only thing I'd say is try dropping your shutter speed to something between 1/160th and 1/320th of a second, depending on how fast the car is going, to get a bit more motion blur in the image. It gets easier with practice, trust me
