I see a teleconverter somewhere in my near future ...

Leigh - good first attempt, seeing that you were using a new technique. Yes - you will gain by purchasing a TC or Extender in Canon Language. Just remember, that you will be better prepared for next year's event.

I will be posting some of my shots tonight.

Great first attempt at motorsport images.

The images have a nice contrast and colourn and are very sharp.

You've already said you want to get a TC, which will help you get in closer.

Next time try panning. At oblique angle like you have here it is harder than side on, so try to position yourself side on to the vehicle (I know you are often limited in your choice of positions, especially at Adelaide, which is a concrete canyon).. Slower shutter sppeds allow for blurred backgrounds, with sharp subjects. Depending on the speed of the vehicle, andwhere down to 1/125 is quite achieveable.

If you have more, please post! I can't wait for the first East Coast race!
