    Looks like im going to the british touring cars at Doni

    Well I might aswell since i got a free ticket offered to me from themselves Big Smile [:D]

     

    So once again i ask any tips?? Whats the best lens 70-300mm or 50-500mm?

    I went to british superbikes last year and got some pics, the camera was new to me at the time and i didnt have a clue to be honest, managed to get some shots  i was happy with but learnt i  needed to work on my focus. Now i know a bit more about settings im happy ill ok with that side Embarrassed [:$]

     

    Never been to cars before so need some help here Smile [:)]

    I found my 70-300mm was just fine at oulton park, not sure on the layout at donny but then again if you have a 50-500mm then why not use it Smile [:)]

    taken at 300mm

    i would certainly take a monopod, depending on how close you want to get i would imagine the 300mm will be fine, panning the cars looks better than just a static shot, try and get your shutter speed below 1/125th

    i took this shot just past the first corner at donington

    Thats a fab pic, so clear!

    Went we for a couple of hours, my eldest whos 2 1/2 loved it! Had a go at panning, think it turned out ok but not 100% sure, i like it for my first time Smile [:)]

    Almost too Embarrassed [:$] to add my pics after seeing that one! But they are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/puckers52/sets/72157604876301652/

     

    Was a very nice day out and an experience but i prefer the bikes!
