what kind of lens are you using? great pics! very jealous! :-P

- .RJ - 05-07-2009

Canon 40D + Sigma 10-22, Canon 24-105 (rental) and Canon 70-200 (also rental)

Most of the shots are with the 10-22 though. Its a really sweet lens for the $$.

- Apoc - 05-07-2009

I'm surprised the 10-22 has that much of a fisheye effect. Are most of those shots at 10mm?

- .RJ - 05-07-2009

Yeah, quite a few at 10mm. The distortion is the worst looking up or down.

- .RJ - 05-08-2009

This trip has been fucking planes, trains and automotbiles (and busses).

Anyways, Monza pics, day 1. I wasnt happy with what I shot today (very few keepers) but my head wasnt in the game. Going to rest up, try a different spot tomorrow and spend most of the afternoon in the pits since the gear I have on me works better there and I just enjoy pit pics a lot more than bike pics. You can take some great shots here but I just dont have the lenses for it (400+ mm). Saw several photogs with 600mm glass, and one with 400mm + a 2.0 extender.

i think you'd do much better with a nicer camera.

- .RJ - 05-08-2009

camera aint the problem... operator error mostly.

- ScottyB - 05-08-2009

3rd pic down is awesome....love the visor reflection, that really jumps out.

so I'm not exactly a photog by any means but I don't see anything wrong with your pics. I'm pretty impressed by all of them

- .RJ - 05-08-2009

Well, without getting too much into it... a lot of stuff was out of focus or I didnt get the motion panning right so very few keepers out of the bunch. Only shot from one spot (no bikes on track until almost 1). And I just wasnt on the ball, and I want the pics to be more... "monza" if that makes sense. Try again tomorrow. I've got some other spots to try and I'll be in the pits for the afternoon sessions - lots of activity there during qualifying.

no, really, you should spend more money. :twisted:

- .RJ - 05-08-2009

Duh.

Imagine carrying that bitch onto a plane.

At least you got the WB right in this set. Tongue

(You know it's impossible for me to compliment you without some backhanded bitch slap.)

can you explain what's going on with the middle guy's front wheel in the 4th one up from the bottom? its pointed a bit funny...

I'm pertty sure he's turning, and the wheel is countersteering.

It's counterintuitive, but "push left, lean left, go left." The quickest way to get the bike leaning is to countersteer.

yet another reason i'll never get on a bike :lol: i understand why that would work, but i don't think i could ever get my brain to commit to doing that....

you can see that the guy in front of him also still has his wheel facing a bit to the right.

- .RJ - 05-10-2009

It looked like they were getting a little crossed up on hard acceleration there - front end goes light, tire off the pavement and its easy to get it crossed up when it comes down.
