Airfield Sprint Pics - March 9th 2008



U

Another great day at the airfield, despite the weather (some extremely harsh hail stones, several times) everything went pretty well. Big thanks to Steve (Impreza) for a hugely fast and impressive lap, I was a bit speechless after!

I 'took one for the team' and stayed out there for the most part, well worth it as the light was absolutely stunning, best I've ever had the chance to photograph in. They are a bit samey as I was too cold/wet to head down the far end, and panning shots looked awful with all the spray.

Erm, welcome to the Airfield...

Looking back through the Ph1 seems to be the track-weapon of choice now.

Funny how things move on, was only 18 months ago that Williams and Valvers out-numbered most other stuff, this time we didn't have a single one. They seem to be increasing in value now and the Ph1 seems to have hit its absolute low. Be weird in a few years when the 197 is the 'cheap' car of choice!

Cheers mate, got myself a Nikon 300mm f4 second-hand on the -very- cheap for Christmas and it's just awesome, bit worried actually as it's even sharper than my 80-200 2.8...which doesn't make sense as the 80-200 is supposed to be much better, maybe I got a dud!

Had to shoot 'frozen' as all the water was really messing with panning shots, isn't really my thing usually but it seemed to work well with the water spray.

The thing I noticed with my 300mm is that you know what focal length you have to shoot at, no option to zoom so it gives you a touch more time just concentrate on taking the pic. I always found myself wanting to alter the zoom at the last second. My 70-200 hardly went back on the camera after getting the 300mm prime.

I was always a bit apprehensive of long primes (although your shots last season were fantastic) due to the not being able to zoom thing, but I agree, it's great having to work that little bit harder, saying that I did have to stand about 100ft back in the fields for a few of the angles!

I haven't used my 80-200 since, might even end up selling it as it's worth a fortune and pretty rare, will see how it goes.
