I think you've just solved my issue of whether I'd use the 70-200 there. Didn't even think to look at the 120-300 2.8 2nd hand. I can always put a 2x teleconverter on it to get a 600m 5.6 as well I suppose. I'm looking forward to seeing what a quality lens does for me. I always hear people...

Sorry, yes circuit racing and mainly cars. Thanks for your input.

So with the world in its current state I don't anticipate going to watch any motorsport this year. The industry I work in has also been decimated so not a lot to look forward to this year so I'm looking ahead to next year. I've set myself some goals and if I meet them this year I'm hopefully...

That's what I'm finding. Some shots just suit one over the other. I'll get some up eventually. Got BTCC, British GT, Goodwood and DTM now in my backlog. That's actually a very good point! I've got so used to shooting wide open through fences that I've forgotten all about aperture control when...

Just going through my Goodwood FoS pictures and trying to work out the best focus point for open cockpit cars. Going through mine I have some where the focus is on the front of the car but that doesn't look right with the drivers helmet slightly blurred but then on shots where the helmet is...

I tried posting this in the motorsport discussion forum as thats what I mainly do but haven't had any replies so thought I would try here. I have been using a D3100 since I started photography 7 years ago and am finally in a position to buy something new. Just looking at the specs of my D3100...

I know there is the equipment forum but as I mainly shoot motorsport I thought I'd ask here. I have been using a D3100 since I started photography 7 years ago and am finally in a position to buy something new. Just looking at the specs of my D3100 compared to the current range of cameras and I...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was planning to go to Oulton for the GT but have just realised its Easter weekend so can't but thanks for the examples Fraser. Looks like I'll be adding a super zoom to the shopping list if only to give options.

Last year I started motorsport photography and I love it! I only did a few events at Silverstone and was fortunate to be at Goodwood FOS with work but I've been bitten by the bug. This year I'm looking to do more events at more circuits and was wondering peoples views on whether a super zoom...

Had to use the pocket trick many times. Seems crazy to have to do it.

Thanks for the replies. @ChrisHeathcote this sounds more like what I'm actually trying to achieve, keeping LR for when I'm at home but adding the option to edit when I'm away from home with the iPad. I'm going to have to read up on transferring between catalogues though as I currently have...

So 36 hours ago I wouldn't have even been thinking about getting rid of my laptop for an iPad Pro but after having a play with one at a 'Today at Apple' talk in London yesterday, I'm more than tempted. I know from reading that CC is lacking lots of features at the moment but I can't see it being...

Since I 'upgraded' to Classic a few weeks ago mine grinds to a halt as well. Its just about usable so I'll have a good investigation when I have some free time but there do seem to be a very high number of reports of bad performance recently.

Thanks for this. I went to Silverstone for the first time for the WEC this year and also being my first time shooting motorsport, it was quite a steep learning curve in 1 day. Looking forward to reading this later.

Thanks for giving this a bump and thank you @Graphix501 for the guide. I shot motorsport for the first time on Friday and bar a couple of pictures, was a little disappointed by how only a handful of my panning shots looked sharp all over with most just being sharp in a small area. Luckily I...
