okok, what shutter you recommend? 350D ar.. if too slow sure the photo not nice one..

noted, I thought like 1/500 ok edi looks like should have asked before, now have to wait for F1 testing next month.. *runs to roadside for panning*

which one? if you're talking about the wheelie ones, I deliberately compose it to the side so that can print and ask for autograph, which I did!

thanks diwant

ac, how to practice safe shooting at slow shutter speeds? I dunno if it's my hands or what but at 280mm and below 1/600 my shots become very funny..



like this one, shot at 135mm also it's a bit blurred?

Ehh? sorry sifu, I thought if wider means easier to track the object? and that pic was handheld, I thought I set the shutter to 1/100, no wonder the background so blur

panasonic, thanks

AF not effective enough, so what I did was AF a specific point, then turn it to manual and wait for the bike to come, as it zoomed by I just capture when the AF point blinks, is this the correct technique?

and also, that specific shot was taken using my wide angle 28-135 because I was too near to use the 70-200 (attached with a monopod). but what I'm trying to ask you is, what do you mean by "won't be able to track the bike down at that speed with a frame that wide"

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)

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

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

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

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!!

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...
