wow...nice shots, i wish i can join 1 day, btw how u got to go do this shooting?..

ur photo shutter bit 2 fast like what ahleong say, then the compo not really my taste..hehe...just my 2 cents...thx 4 sharing man...wait i got a telephoto i join u k..

hm, I also dunno what's wrong with the compo, when I see the bike is in the right spot I just snap only... maybe subjective la these things, but I really like the wheelie ones as it kind of shows motion, something like the bike is too fast for the camera to capture. plus, can even see the exhaust heat (a first for me)

erm..the compo i dont like cos its moving out of the frame...normally ppl will compo it moving into the frame...

smth like this i found on the net..
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1702789

I like the speed, gives it just the right amount of motion, but I don't like the compo.. that's weird! but I think filling the frame always gets the job done.. oh yeah, F1 testing can come along la

It means if you neither specify a AF point or let the camera decide where the bike is, then there is not way you can get the bike sharp. The camera doesn't know what is track and what is bike. Even if you did specify a AF point, the chances of a speeding bike slipping pass the lil' red dot is very high, not a very effective to accurately capture the bike that way. What if you have to get TWO bikes in focus instead of just ONE?

I did specify the AF point lar, just that it's not in AF and yes I agree that theres the chance that it will slip the precise AF point, so what's the best way to do it then?

focus on two bikes? wahlaueh.... now you got me

wouldn't AI servo be a good option?

andy...
can pinjam ye 1.4x teleconverter to test on my sigma les..
donno working or not.. i mean autofocus function..hehe

There's no better way than to have the camera decide, even so, the camera must have enough points to support selective AF, up to at least 11-points. Now we're talking EOS 400D to EOS 30D here already

It's both good practice as well as a challenge for beginners doing motorsports. It's recommended to own at least 1 professional body if you're being paid to capture motorsports events. Not only you're working for speed but entry level bodies won't be able to handle the stress of shooting, lack of functions and the adverse working conditions.

lol
200mm no enough long leh..
280mm should be ok kua..

AI servo is a good option, but even with 45 AF points, I find it hard to make sure that one specific AF point remains on the bike as it's zooming by at 240km/h. I'm not being paid that much to afford a 1D, so, 350D for sale.....

ahleong, why you wanna get the Canon TC? your lens already Sigma better get Sigma TC

is there a such feature on pro bodies right, where the object can be moving to any Af point in the frame and camera follows the object, instead of you having chase the object for a specific AF point

F1 testing when?...hehe..sliva dripping leow..

mayb later i get canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS leh..

eh sorry, F1 testing next month liao, this 25th got car and bike trackday



chiuu, this one no need to test edi, faster buy buy!!

set a time yamcha.. bring yr 1.4x...

Well, you will HAVE to make sure that the subject matter falls onto corresponding AFPs, that will differeciate pros and beginners. As a beginner, you won't bother at all

That's why Ahleong wanna see your TC, test only mah, he might just get a Sigma or some other branded TC

hey I got signature word already! chiuu... aiyo I bring la I bring la wont ffk edi, confirm you will get the lense wan DONT WORRY! this one sure single battery inside battery grip case hahah! eh I suggest you buy the ori one la, I wanted to buy compatible one also but my friend had his leaking before, his one is the bigger capacity one.

my 1.4 goes wherever I go... lol



hoi! where got I dont bother, all my shots will look like sh*t la like that! then you mean to say pro body can select multiple AF points? come on, there must be something that differenciates this piece-of-crap and your RM16k camera...
