Wow Shaun, that is pretty much what I was after. I've looked in at deep sky photography and for the moment I'll happily not go that far, it was just the fact I spotted this during a shot I was taking of the milky way and grabbed a 70-200mm to get a closer look. Thanks for the extra tips, I...

can anyone help me clear up some of the noise in this image, techniques to use etc? IMG_1887 by chr154bes, on Flickr

These are great but I would have tried to move round to the right slightly on the first one to get all of her head in a clear shot. The second one I can't be certain but looks like the focus is on the rain drops, I would have tried to focus on the subject more

Will be sure to give it a try, all depends on the weather now :)

Thanking you, spot on. Knew it had to be switched off for a tripod, it causes vibration trying to stabilise vibration when there isn't any

Just looking for some advise on using the Sigma OS functions. I have the 70-200mm f2.8 and 150-500mm lenses both have the dual OS functions but reading the instructions doesn't help me understand which mode is best for what, I usually use these lenses for Motorsport, indoor events and next...

I have the same reader and problem, if I unplug and re plug the reader the computer detects it, I have the FireWire reader before this and had connection issues, Lexmark gave me a USB 2.0 dual reader which works flawlessly. Just wish the 3.0 was as good

what do you use for mounting the straps onto it? I was thinking of just leaving my Manfrotto tripod plates on and latching onto those instead of the supplied pieces. Will be the exact same set up as ACW, do you have it mounted on the lens or canera body/grip?

the odd lights are car lights, thank you all for your crit, all duely noted. I'm thinking of getting the first one printed. Which medium would you choose if it was yourself, would be a wall mount, I was thinking of acrylic

not sure if this is the right section but have been following a group on facebook posting pictures and discussing these and decided to go for a look. This is what I returned with: IMG_1565 by chr154bes, on Flickr IMG_1557 by chr154bes, on Flickr

That's some fuel bill! The joys of a small diesel fiesta makes it a whole lot cheaper

Some really cool shots, nice smooth panning. Loved that little Volvo

how can they all be so far away? I traveled from what is essentially Glasgow to Pembery which is south west Wales, then Teeside then Norfolk for the Charity night. just need to plan ahead, probably best planning further ahead than me, booking my hotel for Pembery just before I left to travel...

Really nice shots there. Really getting the movement in them.

Thank you, it really is a good weekend at the BDC if you can make both days, or three days if its the team event like in the first picture. There's lots of news series cropping up now, definitely a big upcoming Motorsport
