Hi all. I just signed up. Thought i might as well post a few nice pics i got from the V8's. Its the first time i have photographed any motorsport. I used a Canon 30D and a dodgy ol' Canon 100-200mm f4.5 i borrowed.

Nice first pics. I was hoping that someone would post some images from the race.

Welcome aboard, look forward to more of your work.

Cheers!!

Nice shooting, especially like the 1st 3 pics, you've captured the essence of speed in these.......nicely panned.
Get any of James Courtney?

Cheers,
Rob

Your panning technique seems half reasonable, especially seeing it's your first motorsport shots :lol:

Well done!

Cheers

Thanks. It was all handheld. I saw a few people with 70-200 2.8 IS using monopods or tripods and i figured they must be a little weak. lol

Thanks for posting these, as James Courtney is a local Penrith boy and raced karts against my son I have a special interest in his future. Unfortunately he 'blew' his F1 chance but that's another story.
Top pics......well done.

Cheers,
Rob.
