i left exposure up to the camera, as it was sunny then cloudy every few minutes. most shots came out underexposed. i used max +0.7 exp comp, but backed off when i saw any highlights. i hate highlights. maybe a filter would do the job?

thanks, alpha_7, that was my goal. i started out with a shutter of about 1/600, but they didn't look like they were moving, so i used around 1/250 for the rest :)

cheers, kyle, i did the levels and brought up the exposure a bit, but the masters look flat. i shoot RAW, (not confident enough to shoot JPEG). my RAW's always look pretty dull but.

thanks, matt. not sure exactly what filter, but i shot in shutter priority and so when sunny the camera was choosing f13-f16 which is more DOF than i'd like for racing, seeing as there's so much crap in the backgrounds at these tracks.

These appear to be much sharper than your first post.
They are great.

thanks, colin :)

it was hit and miss in terms of sharpness. i know the lens is not to blame!
mostly me, and little bit of camera too. more focus points would help and a few more FPS too.
