Thank you for your comments.

The M99 special was taken towards the end of the meeting.

For those interested the Exif data is,

F/5.6, 1/180sec, ISO 200 (not ISO 100 as I thought), E.V +0.5, focal length 270mm.

Regards, Chris.

So....some K20D's click and some don't, how strange.

Click or no click mine works fine when changing to AF.C - the 'smooth no click way'.

I must admit thought that I did keep checking the lever hadn't moved off AF.C while I was photographing the Autograss meeting at Darley Moor.

Regards, Chris.

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like them.

Personally I always like to leave a bit of space in front or behind side-on panning shots to give the car space to drive in to or out of.
I cropped the front because there was an 'ugly' road cone there and it seemed to be drawing my eye to it.

I wanted to try out my second hand but 'new to me' K20D so I put my Siggy 120-400 HSM OS lens on it and went along to a local Autograss meeting.

Here are a few from the many I shot.

The Exif data has been removed by the hosting site I use, but for those interested it's below.

All hand held, all Shutter Priority.

No 1 - ISO 100, 1/90sec, F/6.7, FL 180
No 2 - ISO 100, 1/125sec, F/5.6, FL 158
No 3 - As above
No 4 - ISO 100, 1/125sec, F/6.7, FL 158
No 5 - ISO 100, 1/125sec, F/5.6, FL 400
No 6 - ISO 200, 1/180sec, F/5.6, FL 230

My W7 laptop is on an Ethernet cable ( Orange Broadband ) and my Android phone was on wireless.

Tried ping test, result was Grade A.

This is the only site I'm having trouble with which is strange, even stranger is that I can get on here using my phones mobile ( 3G signal ) internet.

I do get an 'Error on page' message in the bottom left of I.E8 which says,
