Help required from any canon users. EX580 MK II mounted on the hotshoe of 1D Mk III, but I only want to use the AF beam assist on the EX580 MK II not flash. I am then trying to use the PC sync terminal on the 1D MK III body which is connected to a RF602TX sync port. Thus use the RF-602TX...

No. 3 was taken at 24mm and I wanted to get a sense of scale, thats why the barrier is at the bottom. Tried to crop it, but I felt that it lost its impact. But every one has their own opinion. As for no.6 this was taken through the fence at the top of Druids using a 300mm lens, kneeling on...

#3 was taken at 1/25 @ F16, which I think is my slowest pan to date that has actually worked. Quite like the effect. Now, tilt and shift lens for motorsport, thats got me thinking

Some shots of the trucks and legends taken on the wet qualifying/raceday on 30-10-10. Weather conditions made it interesting in keeping the kit dry and that the panning shots taken from inside of Druids, so therefore facing in to the sun, so not ideal. C&C welcome, as always need to learn 1...

Thanks for the responses so far. 1. Why don't these work as standard car shots? 2. Software used was Photomatix to combine 5 exposures together. As for setting, I just adjust until I like what I see. Don't try to over saturate the colour thou

Bugger, Anyone now how to move this to the Transport section? I know that these are a few weeks late, but had a great time at the Jap Show at Santa Pod so thought these might be worth posting. A little bit marmite with these, as they are HDR so comments most welcome

Many thanks for the C&C. Agree composition could have been better on the first image or perhaps a little more foreground interest. But as I was hanging off the back of the boat to get this I,m happy with what I have got.

Though this to be the most appropriate section in the forum as I think most people consider HDR to be an art form and not photography. While on a trip to London last weekend I thought about atempting my first HDR images, mainly due to the moody clouds on the day. All taken with 5 bracketed...

Although the title is sensor cleaning, in reality trying to clean the low pass filter in front of it. I have a 1D MK III, and normally I'll send it away once a year for a sensor clean, which I've done about a month ago. However during a shoot I have managed to get some stubborn bits of...

Like the last image just for the impact, I suppose this brought a whole new meaning to the "crop factor" if he nearly hit you. Thought these guys made a car show a little different. Looks like you've used a fast shutter speed, could have tried something a little slower to get some more motion...

Great set from a spectators point of view, with having to shoot through the fence. But then again even the media have to contended with that especially when the trucks are out. #2 for me is great, and by the lack of crowds looks like it was taken on the Saturday

A small selection of images taken over last weekend at Brandshatch for what was a glorious weekend of weather and made for a good back drop for the excellent racing as well. C & C always welcome as you can never stop learning. 1. Taken with 300mm F2.8 + 2 x extender. 2. Just not...

Glad you like #5. This was taken through the fence at the top of druids, using a 300m F2.8 + 2x converter, first time every using this combo and was very surprised by the results as most people bitch about the image quality of the 2x converter. Happy as larry they would say

I know this a bit late, not had much time to convert these from RAW. Great start to the British Superbike season, and the weather wasn't that bad over the whole weekend. One benefit was that during qualifying most riders had clear visors, thus you could see "the whites of their eyes"...

Many thanks for the reply, and I get the order in which the components should be fitted
