Cheers Andy700 & Backwheel&armco, I'll try that with the autofocus area :)

Love that last shot really shows the effort. Hill climbs are evil

Another vote for the Cav shot excellent work. Already voted for him as SPOTY :)

Good work, I recently tried this at our Hill Climb and was given the tip of using fill in flash to help pick out the subject, worth a go next time.

Yes I know and doth my cap to both of them, it was Mike who gave me the tips on settings with the flash.

That's not in the processing, Only used PS to resize and sharpen the RAW file. Canon 400d with 18-55mm kit lens First 1/40s . f/10.0 . ISO 400 . 22 mm and flash firing second 1/40s . f/6.3 . ISO 400 . 18 mm The slow shutter speed creates the blur but the flash firing helps catch the...

Some pics I took this year 09/10/11 and a brilliant video by Mat Pennell 'Optimal Cadence Films' http://www.flickr.com/photos/fixedwheelnut/sets/72157627856625020/ http://vimeo.com/30273999

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 200 and last year I was knocked off, head on with a car cutting across me at 20mph, I was mashed up a bit but my camera was fine. One witness said I flew one and a half car lengths in the air before landing and rolling. Contents at time a Canon 400D with 18-55mm kit...

I know of at least four one legged cyclist's one rides with just the one leg and a stump [walking stick strapped to top tube, another two with complicated titanium fittings similar to guy in your photo and one of my clubmates Clive who has his own knee but a prosthetic attachment for lower leg...

Those are great shots in difficult conditions, dark with bright headlamps to contend with. I couldn't get there, gutted I missed it, some good images going up on Flickr and at Bicycleimages.com

They are all great, 1 and 2 are best for me and four because it is a MK1 as well :D

.parkcameras.com/c/68/Canon-Fit-SLR-Lenses.html?Page=1 That is Park Cameras Canon fit lenses. I have a 50-200mm Tamron f4.5 that I picked up cheap, for £500 you can afford some much faster glass as every one else has said it all depends on what he wants to do with it and how serious he is.

:lol::lol: Ha, no not quite perhaps this was not the best image to put up to demonstrate the adaptor, I just liked how the shot came out. The original shot had her mouth and back edge of her face in focus as she was thrashing her head around so I added a bit of gaussian blur so it all looked...

Just got a Pixco FD/ES lens adaptor with optics and a chip in that tells the camera to enter manual focus mode, you then alter the shutter speed accordingly, I used the light metering on the rear screen of my 400D to gauge correct speed and took a few test shots, not had chance for a proper play...
