Hi,

New here, but I've been reading the forums for a while. Thought I should finally register. Anyway, I shoot mainly motorbikes in the UK. I only started with photography this year and here are some of mine from this season. Comments welcomed!

congrats...

Thanks. From memory they're all with the Sigma, except the first one, fifth one and the last one (which were taken with the Canon 70-200mm).

Cadwell Park - it's famous for it on "the Mountain" section, a short, sharp incline. Some riders back off near the top to stop themselves going airbourne, some manage a reasonable wheely and some, well, just keep it pinned and take off!

some cracking shots there
looks like youve got your tecknique pretty well sorted

how does the autofocus on the 30d cope with tracking bikes going at high speed!

i am thinking of upgrading to a 30d so just curious

Awesome action. Great job capturing the speed of these machines.

It does alright, but then I've never used anything better. It's certainly better than the 350D (my girlfriend has one, which I used before buying the 30D). I'm actually considering buying a 1D MkII N though for the better performance, so I guess we'd need to ask someone who's used all three!
