Keep it below the 300mm max (around 250 is good) and have it stopped down to f/8 and the results are suprisingly good.
Great tip as I plan on using my tamron this weekend! Thanks!alfiemooon wrote:

I've used that lens at motorsport events (in fact its only real purpose for me is motorsport) and it's quite capable as long as there's some reasonably good light....would my Tamron 70-300 be any good?,I wonder.

Not on the same scale as F1, but I'm going to the final round of the British Rally Championship in Yorkshire this weekend. Taking my son, but I will get some photos. ( Even if I have to tie him to a tree to keep out of my way :twisted

Thanks Darkmunk,
I've had a go at cloning the post out and whilst it feels a bit like cheating I must admit it does look better.
Funny, I remember thinking that way when I first started taking photos...but I've since learnt everybody does that sort of thing in one way or another. Whether it is changing the sky ( I still want to know how to do that ), or just tweaking contrast. Thanks Darkmunk,

Those are both good in b&w, although I still prefer the color version.

OK George..just looking for the positive
Funnily enough, I'd be with you on HCB, yet I hate taking people pics...I feel really uncomfortable with it. Maybe because I'm not a "people person", ( bit of a misanthrope if I'm being honest ).

Thanks folks.
I went along to photograph the steam engines, but too many people and lack of proper layout meant I couldn't get any full shots. So I had to make do with the more abstract close ups. The people were an unexpected surprise, but I do prefer these pictures. Glad you guys seem to agree.

With the first one - I'm not one of these P&P magicians, but I believe it should be possible to replace the burned out skies with some 'cheatty' replacement from another photo, some clouds, maybe?

I think John is our resident expert on that. I remember being shocked by the idea of mixing two photos, only to be told it is commonplace.

Nice shots, love number 4.
If I were to nitpick, number one needs the stray wing cloning out at the bottom
There's your first post done..looking forward to many more.

Love the second shot of the red Impreza - nicely captured action there.
Get any more good ones of the MkI Escorts? All four wheels off the ground preferably?
More of the MkI and Mk II Escorts to follow..hopefully. But none at the jump. I only got those down in the forest, in the morning.
A set of well fettled images there sir, well captured. One good image is worth a thousand throw aways...
Regards
