So Yesterday I attended my first event. I very much enjoyed it and believe I did very well, but I am going to let you be the judges of that. I have attached a link to the place where I have uploaded and selling my images. Also do you think I could charge more? Everyone else's photos are twice as...

Is was bright enough that I didn't need to use ISO 3200, and I used shutter priority so I could freeze the action. I did adjust the contrast on all of them, it's just one of those things that I do to all my images but have no idea why.

Today I convinced two mates to dust off their mountain bikes ( Now ride BMX ) so that I could try and get some photo's. I took my Ef 75-300 and my new Ef 50mm 1.8 II. You can see the results here : https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/125851404@N04/sets/72157646287597967/ I am very happy with the...

Okay , thanks a lot combat squirrel , I'll try and get back to you with some hopefully half decent images. Thanks again .

F/4 , 1/80 sec , ISO 800

I have now ordered a second hand 50mm 1.8 II. Will be testing it out on the 31st at a local race and will post back here then. For now , here is a picture I took using the kit lens. This was the only spot on the track that I could get a picture due to most of the wood being very dark.

I'm only 17 and just starting in photography so can't even consider buying a 70-200. Looked on Flickr and found some nice looking photos of mountain bike with a 50 1.8. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/tyler138/5108019026/in/favorites-125851404@N04/

I am choosing the 50mm for the light factor. Already tried the kit lens and can't seem to get any usable pictures.

Canon 500d

Hello, I'm looking at starting taking photos at local mountain biking events. I am wondering if I can get some feedback on if a 50mm 1.8 lens would be okay for shooting mountain biking. The races will be in dark woods. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you Olly

Thank you very much , helped me greatly.

I am new here and need some help! In the near future I am planning to visit Gigrin farm , to photograph the Red Kites. I'm new to photography and have a Canon 500d with 75-300mm lens. I was wondering if this lens is going to be good enough to take decent pictures of the birds. Thanks Olly
