I haven't posted here for a while, and I don't think at all as a Nikon 'tog. so here goes.

Mostly I do motorsport and other automotive things, but decided to do something different.

The setup...

Lucky devil. Having shot V8SC once last year I am envious of you being able to cover it, that's for sure. It is a great series from a photographic standpoint!

Looks like a tricky car to reproduce,...

Great work Christian. Who are you working for these days? Have you got CAMS Gold Accreditation?

I'm just sitting here watching the V8SC's support the F1, do you have any shots of the Fujitsu...

I posted these on a local forum but thought I would post here for some more feedback, if you would be so kind. :)

I've got a friend who works for a TV station and used another friends WRX in an ad...

Outstanding work, well done! I shot V8SC (with credentials) at Symmons Plains and must say I enjoyed myself immensly.

Hi all, my girlfriend is in the market for a compact point-and-shoot. I shoot with a DSLR, but we'll use this when going to parties and the like, so I want something that will produce a pretty good...

Brilliant shot, please make a thread for these. I just went to a few news sites and watched the collapse, do you have any shots of that?

Dell use Samsung LCD panels, if you compare a similarly spec'd Dell to the Samsung the Dell is good value.

A friend has a Dell 30 and it is an awesome photo editing screen, about 4MP I think....

High ISO still won't make any difference, it is the light coming into the lens that is lost, this slows the AF system. This is all before the light hits the sensor meaning ISO is of no consequence.

CP filters take about half a stop of light out and this can be enough to slow the AF system on an already slow lens. I have the same issue with my CPL on the Bigma.

Yes, high ISO is much better in the K200D. The K10D has some functionality that the K200D doesn't, but if you're after usable high ISO then the 200 is the way to go.

However I have a K10D you may...

I spotted this driving home from work the other day. There was a sunset over the hill and a bushfire down the road giving some wild colours. Goes to show you should always have your camera on you.

Great light control there BTuner.

Likewise Nism, quality glass is worth the premium. Would be interesing to see how this process is more automated at larger manufacturers.

Desktop - Lives at work, also use it for my drafting business:
Intel Core2Quad Q6600 - 2.4GHz
4Gb Corsair DDR2
WD 320Gb SATA II
2x Dell 19" 4:3 ratio LCDs
WinXP Pro SP2
Spyder 3 Pro

How many stops do you lose with the 1.7? Would you be better with the Bigma?

Yes I am switching because of performance. Namely ISO and AF. Currently I miss about 30% of shots because of the AF which is well documented at being a bit tardy in the K10D cameras. I know the D300...

Sorry Rooz, been flat out this past week.

I knew the 1.7 gave a slight quality drop, and from all reports I've heard it is negligible.

The 80-200 that I used was an older screw-drive one, I...

According to the camera store manager I spoke to when inquiring about the D300 there will not be a significant drop for 4-6 months in Australia. I am pretty confident this is right because he has a...

I don't generally have too much problem with what you post Rhys, but this is rediculous. To lump Pentax glass in the 'real dog' catagory says something about your '20 years experience'. Pentax lenses...

Thanks for the suggestion Rooz, but I need the 70/80-200 anyhow and can't splurge on the 300 f4 as well. A TC is as far as the finds will stretch.

As far as the Bigma focus speed goes, it is darn...

I made a post a few months ago mentioning I'm going to move from Pentax to Nikon in the next fear future. This is definitely something that is going to happen and I'm now nailing down the gear I'm...

Top work mate. You are getting 'round the state!

I wish I had have known this was on, I would have come down.

Probebly a shock-proof, water-proof model from Pentax or Olympus?

Looks great Dave!

Went out for dinner...then a few quiet ones...then a few loud ones... By the time I got up there was no point in coming out. :-P
