Just moved over from Nikon/Canon, this is pretty much my first shot with my new A7RIII and 85 f/1.4 GM ... I've no more client shoots this year so the cat and his love of Christmas tinsel had to suffice ...

The horizon isn't level, its underexposed and grainy, it needs cropping (at least 2" off the top), the couple are poorly posed and the person on the right is distracting ... but apart from that ...

I had exactly the same problem on both my 70-200's ... The replacement 3rd party ones are much better

70-200 is just about the stock lens in any rally photographers arsenal ... IS or not is up to you, but most people find they get better results by switching it off (me included).

You appear to be missing the top of the car! On a positive note, the image is nice and sharp.

Hi Mark I was nice to meet you yesterday, I was one of the guys you was talking to in the afternoon (the taller one lol) ... you've come away with an excellent set of images, you would never guess it was your first motorsport event! Hopefully see you on other events in the future.

You didnt mention 'somewhere in front' in your initial post. You said I stood in front of you and that you was ****ed off. Which was clearly incorrect, unless you happened to be trying to capture the bush in which I was stood in your frame. Should it happen again, maybe you should come over...

Excuse me James, but I did not stand infront of you when cars were on the stage ... I had my back firmly in the bushes! Apologies for not saying hello, I've never met you or seen you before but I should have know it was you and that you was shy! Dont worry, I'll come and say hello next time I...

Your welcome. That photo was taken from Moselwein.

It wasnt Dhrontal we went to Ant, it was Moselland :) The vineyards stages are all superb ... Moselland, Moselwein and Dhrontal are all classic stages. The rally usually uses the vineyards on the Friday and SUnday and Saturday is generally held around the Baumholder military base...

Most motorsport photographers switch IS/OS/VR (or whatever you wish to call it) off ... the only time I turn it on is when taking ambient light shots around a service area.

I think Ryan means that they are original compositions because Peter Lloyd has never been 'snapped' in the S14 from that location ... the same with Damien in his focus. As we all know these locations have been photographed many many times over the years. Aside from if they have been taken...

Your welcome ;)

David, I part ex'd my 5DMKII's into Carmarthen Cameras two weeks ago ... might be worth giving them a call to see if they still have them?

Cheers Andy Thanks for the help, I'm looking at the newer model of the bag ... just measured the setup and it's pretty much dead on 60cm. Should be a nice snug fit :)
