Some photos of the Formula 3 Zandvoort.
My first time trying to photograph a race and I must say I really enjoyed myself.
This mostly of the Suzuki Swift Cup before the big event so that gave me some time to practice.
Please I really want your comment on these since they surely aren't perfect and since this my first time ever hint and tip is very welcome!
All taken with K10D + DA*50-135 at f/8, shutterspeed varies because the formula 3 car was quite a bit faster.
So are these decent for the first time doing this?

They look very good indeed and very sharp!

very rarely do i need much pp on the end result, after reading what you wrote i will keep on jpeg, with the bracket facility. only using raw on as you say special light cognitions, thanks for that, i will let you know how i get on, and if it works for me.
I would shoot in raw to behonest.Your advice has got me thinking unlocker. and it makes sense...i am from the old school and still use an exposure meter, with the camera on manual,

It's just as large as 3 JPG files but you've unlimited possibilities with Brightness, contrast, colour, white balance, sharpness in the limits of the raw file where with JPG you're fixed, even if you bracket you only end up with 3 fixed point.
PP of raw goes very fast, with a propper shot it's just moving the slides slightly to get it perfect, lets say it takes 10 seconds a photo, so really quite fast.
Since you shoot manually most photos will need the same PP so you can do them in batchs.
It will take you 10mintues tops of PP your photos of the day, probable the same amount of time picking the right photo out of the 3 jpg's
Danny i saw in a review that they mention it was 5 degree... maybe you've another production model since you mention AF was slower as well compared to the other model there

Quite expensive then... dind't thought they would cost twice as much. it just the same optics so wonder if it's worth it...

It all depends on how it is checked, they have changed things now though but don't know how it is now, have only worked there before they changed it. It was just someone looking at your security pass and that's it.
Hopefully Heathrow have it better then Schiphol had in the past

Never had anything checked when boarding the ship... well my ticket and ID, better then in the train though... maybe times have changed in 6 years dont know how much. Also only got my ticket checked on the Thalys.
But yes cruise ship are smaller but I remember the impact it had when a train got hijacked here in the Netherlands quite some years ago.
But back to aircrafts.
How many flights a year and how many have a problem with terrorists?
Arent we overreacting?
Andrew, when you're working with aircrafts you know there are far more simpler ways to let one crash believe me
The security checked his ID but they didn't do there job so well so simply let him pass...
There is probable only one check to get on airside or not?
It is so with schiphol

They also have sets of the holder and 3gnd filters.
There is with digital no need for a coloured filter I believe, you can adjust colour tints on the pc.
