Very Late Moto GP :)

[bungle29]

hey all, better late than never but hes my lot for the Moto GP weekend, found it hard to get what i wanted due to high fences and being quite a distance from the track, i struggled with my 300mm lens. Might just be me but did anyone else struggle?

Better than mine. Silverstone doesnt lend itself to toggers, you have to work hard for a differnt view.

I found a hole in the fence on the outside of the maggotts/becketts complex about the best place.....

Number 1 for me,. It might be my monitor but a couple of them have a really strong reddish tint.
For example this looks spot on https://www.flickr.com/photos/124114542@N07/15130569475/in/photostream/
Whereas this same spot has the reddish tint: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124114542@N07/14943902040/in/photostream/

nope its not your monitor looking at them i can see what you mean, i must admit my post processing isn't the best it seems to take ages to look through them all and then go onto photo to sort them all out. where as other seen to be able to sort process and upload them the same day just don't know how they do it.
thanks for the help

Don't worry about it I had processing problems last year and could not get it right.

Are you editing your pictures, JPEG?, any in camera picture styles?

Have just looked at the exif and your using manual white balance? That maybe the possible cause for the red tint.

I've used auto white balance for the two years I've been shooting and 99% of the time it's been spot on.

they are taken in jpeg and then edited and saved as a jpeg, no camera picture styles (not that i know of)
yer i try to be cleaver and sort the white balance out myself, i thought that if it was set to manual that it would increase the performance of the camera (picture taking speed) as it wouldn't have to figure it out itself.

Ive never noticed slow down from it and if there has its been minmal.
Noticed you have edit allowed on so just a quick lightroom change to white balance to auto. Can remove if you wish.
Qualitys been killed as I just saved the image from here but it gives you an idea.

that looks better, would it of been better if shot in RAW?

Thing to bear in mind with RAW is that you have to edit every single photo, also takes up a lot more memory because raws are a unprocessed JPEG)

Try shooting auto white balance with JPEG and see how you get on. As I said before when I attempted my own white balance I ended up with a red tint then ever since I've used auto and 99% of the time it's spot on.
