Guys, I need to hire a camera 5D mkII, really don't want to buy another as I'm trying to ask my mate to assist me in a late december wedding; he has just recently sold all his gear so having to hire a camera for him now. Please advise of any good companies in the uk? I only need it for one...

How come it warped so much? I've seen some pretty cool tests with twixtor an all... I need to understand more in how it works

That's pretty awesome! :D

This explains it all, I think I was too much "wanting" the more blurred shots rather than static wheel style, I definitely got that haha. Wonder how the Pro's do it, unless its all in PP?

I've always been told panning is best at around 1/125 and slower for more experienced panners? Plus if your using faster shutter speed, it freezes too much and looks like the action is still or somewhat. Now that I think about it, drifting is more faster back end hence why possible blur, but...

That sounds hard for drifting cars? Means I have like only a split second to capture that point constantly? I shoot with a 70-200mm f2.8 L IS lens and was told to use centre point with AI Servo

Guys, I'm having some issues (I've noticed as of late) when capturing car stuff, I have a lot to learn with panning etc, but I've noticed when capturing cars facing around 30/45 degrees to me i.e. drifting sessions. Shooting using Tv mode at 1/125 speeds, so apertures are usually around f11...

Sounds a bit complicated... guess I have to upgrade and reinstall from scratch at some point, just more comfortable doing that on a PC

Have you not got hold of the 3G app that checks the amount of data downloads you use? I've the Sony Xperia X10 android mobile, which is cool, but the timescape feature with all social network integration absolutely steals data bandwidth and has downloaded a lot, think over 100mb within a week...

Thanks for this, plenty of reading for a newbie to mac's like me :D

You have to weigh up if the iPad is worth it or not compared to the soon to be released android based tablets, with talks of usb ports and cameras on board too. Saying that, iPad is cool and slick... still sucks that they lack flash support

Used to till I no longer have a parcel shelf... pretty much the majority of my work is shot using hipstamatic app on the iphone ;)

Last time I did this was at F1 testings, used a 2x extender with my 70-200 f2.8. That was when I had the 40D, plus on my 5D I slapped on the 24-70mm for some normal shots. Pretty much my wedding get up back in't days :)

I'll report back once I figured out how to set the wireless up properly via ftp rather than going through manual download through EOS utility :)

Love it, the first shot of the horse is nicely framed How did you find the lens? I've still got the mkI, not read much about the mkII, but I'm guessing the mkI is still a top lens without the need for upgrading
