Oh first time out with my new toy. A Cannon 350D with Sigma 70-300mm APO lense.

So difficulet at night isnt it? My shots from the Nightrace last year are here (http://www.diesel-power.org.uk/album/BritcarNightRace2005/)

I think no. 4 is the best given the light- but I imagine it wasnt quite dark at the time?

No. 3 is good also.

Trying to pan in low light is very difficult. I used my 50mm 1.8 for all the nightt shots. Stll had to pan very slowly and use the headlights of other cars to illuminate the other cars as they went round a corner. Gives some very interesting shots.

Some good results there. Number 3 is interesting... did it come off the camera like that, or was there some PP work to get the colour?

Did you try any flash stuff at all?

Its very different at night thats for sure. First time i have tried any night time shooting, particuraly with that camera, up till this point i have only done a few landscape photos to try it a little.

Yes it was quite quite dark for number 4 i used a 400 iso rating for that from memory, (shall check that tho later when i get home.

The pics posted here are as of the camera, except the Ferrari, which is cropped slightly. All pics where taking in RAW format i havent had a chance to do any PP at. I shall hopefully download the rest from my other card later and see what i have on that one.

Oh and no flash work to talk off as my wasnt upto much. Something to upgrade next.
