then you are motorsport addict

Nope, I only go for Super GT yearly Didn't attend other motorsport events.

Cheapest FX now need close to RM6K, before that you need more. Higher end FX cost over RM10K. How do you define overprice DX?
D7000/D7100 is higher end DX, the differences are important enough for many DSLR users

As for your tracking, the lenses also play very important role. What lens are you using?
Hop in Nikon Centre @ Berjaya Times Square and try these lenses:
55-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6 DX
70-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6
80-200mm f/2.8
70-200mm f/2.8

See the huge difference in the focusing speed and accuracy

Super GT addict...

Not cosplay event, just promoter in akihabara

I use 1/30 since they not moving very fast, But from the picture clearer show my hand shake up down
Best using monopod for this kind of shot?

Haiz...so far...

I only have 70-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6 for mid long range shot, this lense is my favorite
Night shot fastest lense I have is 50mm f1.8, to cover weakness of first lense
And 18-55mm just as backup, in case both upper lense don't fit situation
My lense should be complete for dx now

From my experience panning at Sepang, I find shoot without monopod gives me better result, maybe because I'm shooting with 70-200 VR2 + TC-20E III instead of those 300mm, 400mm or 200-400mm supertelephoto or I'm not used to panning on monopod.

My shots from Super GT 2012,

The usual easy side ways panning,

Nice shot, so sharp, no crop out?
Shutter speed?

I think maybe pan + burst shot give better chance

flickr the got the shuttle speed details..
first 1/60
second 1/100..

Mine explain reason why using f16?
So high f for sharp background? But it was blur anyway

wa so rich can fly to that holy land... cost around 1 FF body liao for that trip alone.

i guess need lower shutter speed gua, summore that is like ultra bright sunny day right?

Woooo been using D700+Sigma 50mm 1.4 for couple of days now and its really poisoning! same goes with 5dmk2+50mm 1.4 sigma

Anyways do join us in Ipoh this coming Sunday night for Royal Belum World Drums 2013 Gala Night Show



Gambar masuk air last night, tired as hell for 3 days straight

Was at a raptor wildlife center at Perth last year, was shooting with 85mm f/1.4G... hit and miss on focusing ._. LOL!!! You know how slow that lens is... the glass too big and also small SWM motor.

Haha... for panning its more of practice than equipment. Bigger lens are much heavier and not so easy to handle.

Probably cropped, I can't recall. Was shooting with D700 and even 400mm is insufficient reach when you're at Sepang for most of the turns.

This one not cropped I think

Exposure, going any lower means I need to up my shutter speed which means less panning effect.

naise panning

you should sleep on the road then put a big word there YOLO *hipster mode*

YOLO mode? ahahahaha

lie on the road; then.. dont stop there..
do the Harlem Shake thingy there.. shaking like crazy~

WOW NICE! using D800? Mind sharing the shooting info? (ISO, shutter speed etc)

I am lack of knowledge and skill in capturing nice moving object...
