I went along to the Porsche Track Day at Castle Combe yesterday to try out the new 80-200 f2.8 lens, pretty pleased with the results, although my arm hurts now, never used a lens remotely that size before!

I love the one of the backside of the black porsche. My only gripe is them not being quite sharp enough, and a tad dark. Can't change British weather though eh!?

nice, although I'm not a fan of wacky angles.

not quite sharp enough? LOL.

Yeah I didn't explain that very well did I; in the first shot, the back side of the car is blurred. I wasn't meaning the quality of the lens and such...

gotcha

just a bit of blur down to panning technique and slow-ish shutter speed by the looks of it

The rear of the car is blurred intentionally in the first shot :)

I love the effect (achieved using 1/25, normal three-quarter pans are 1/125-1/250), I use it sparingly but when I do I always love the shots...

Looking rather good. Are these cropped at all? :)

About 20% generally, although the first one is pretty much original. I discovered when I got home that I have tonnes of grit and crap on my sensor in the corners so I chopped them off instead of cleaning them up.

Great set of shots. Very professional looking. I love whacky angles by the way !

nice set, don't mind the angles although one or two are almost getting a bit too much IMO :)
