Just like to get some input as to Roller Derby Photography. I recently did an event, photos came out good, but I want better (just like a female eh) and they have asked me back to do another event (they liked my captures) !! Here are some of the points of these events... VERY VERY LOW Ambience Colored Lights. Very FAST ACTION Packed Skaters, and they like getting photos of ...

A couple of shots from Portland in Dorset in early August (Portland is where the sailing will be in the Olympics in 2012) More can be found in my gallery here Tim

I visit a small place in south Sweden called Gislaved to watch speedway. The visiting team have an American driver from California. Greg Hancock one of the GP-drivers in the World Champions Leage. This is how I did see him everytime he raced, in the front

After AndyMcqueen's photos I thought I'd post up a couple of the ones I got at Goodwood too. They are not as good as Andy's though. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Couldn't quite get the panning smooth enough on the rally shots. Although my trackside shots of the Formula 1 cars etc were all rejects. Bond girls!

This was my first attempt at football action with my new 300 2.8 IS. C&C Welcomed...This is also my second attempt at using a prime for sports.

Nice shots - Great color and some nice panning

Here are a couple from a recent shoot:

Went and shot a few with Leland this AM. Got to walk the steep trail and shoot. He smacked his hand near the end so we didn't get to shoot any images from the bottom section. These are fast edits and on a junk computer so will have better versions on Tuesday!:cheers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

anyone out there using a 1DM3 I would love to hear your advice on AF custom settings. Primary subject this season is football (day and night games). After my first few games I am focusing on trying to improve the AF performance in this environment. Any insights, ideas, suggestions, thoughts on the following would be appreciated: 1) The speed at which the camera locks into AF. It is ...

I like the first. But without more background, it's hard to get a feel for height or position. Maybe a wider crop?

Am I nuts? Laying down for a cat 1/2 race, they were hitting 38 mph at the turn. I was laying on my back, taken with any Oly E-500 and the 14-54mm. Overcast day. Friend suggested using flash to make the colors pop. What do you think of the perspective?

I have taken thousands of pictures of my daughters' soccer teams and this is my favorite shot so far--unfortunately, the player in blue is from the other team.

Tonight was the first game of the season and I could not wait to see if the high ISO of the Canon 1DM3 would make a usable photo. Attached is one example I grabbed this evening as soon as I uploaded the files to my computer. For reference. The stadium I shoot in (at its brightest spots) will meter out at ISO1600, f2.8, 1/250 falling off to 1/125 in the endzones Setup: 1DM3 with ...

With the upcoming fall/winter sports seasons ahead, I need some lens help. I am shooting with a digital Rebel xTi. My two boys are quite active and between now and April I will be shooting them every weekend and a lot of weeknights at ice hockey games, gymnastic meets (no flash allowed), and wrestling meets; all in horribly lit venues. I own the 18-55mm kit lens and a 70-300mm 4-5.6 IS Canon ...

Thought I'd share a few shots from the Festival of Speed held at Goodwood House. The event includes a series of hill climb events for classes ranging from historic grand prix cars and bikes right through to the modern day; also included is a rally stage. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for viewing Andy 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8....
