These were at: 1/200, 1/200, 1/500. These guys were on treaded tyres not racing slicks due to the rain so even 1/500 wasn't enough to freeze them!
JD, Jim, this was the first time i really rated the 40d over my 1000d. Most of the other images are pretty similar IQ & focus wise (to be expected), but the shots from this weekend blow the 1000d out the water. I had no keepers with the the 1000d.
Interesting you say you prefer the 40d to the 50d. If i could have afforded the 50d i would have gone for that due to the MFA, but what's the point of that if the files aren't as good!
Very nice. I thought that Haga would do better this year. I have some shots of me from my old club racing days so it brings back nice memories. Not sure how close you got to the track, but you captured great intensity, especially the eyes of Scassa and Marino.
The focus is amazing. I think that most people don't understand the physical and mental preparation that goes into the sport. As for me, I still race the old 125 a few times a year, but the competitive spirit has given way to the camaraderie with my fellow 2 stroke racers. Get your knee down, good fun, maybe a win or two and a cold beer after the last race.
