I may have to start a new thread too, but in case Pete or someone pops back in - The pics above of the bikes, how much post processing is done on them? As I mentioned above, I do very little to mine apart from a crop and sometimes the lovely (I'm feeling lucky - Picasa Button).

Hi Graham, thanks for your comments. Common theme from everyone and greatly appreciated.

Kev, yup. New Years Resolution - Speed up :) Will try higher speeds, I was always worried about losing blur though. However in Pete's fine example I can see how you can get blur at faster speeds.

Hi Thomas - That's great advice too thank you. I occasionally use a monopod even though I can't get on with it when panning as I tend to swivel my whole body on my waist/hips/knees. But practice makes perfect as they say. Faster shutter speeds I will give a go, same for ISO to fix the...

Pete, that's great advice and noted. I'll be sure to play with the shutter speed and speed it up a bit. Your link was spot on too, very helpful. Plus, if it saves me some £££'s on new equipment, even better :)

Thomas - My friend races in MR2 (Tim Heron and Miles H) I'm with the RGB boys and that's who I take pics of. Thanks for your kind offer. When we share some race meeting weekends this year I will track you down :)

Please don't laugh, but Picasa (Yes I know!) tells me from a brief look at Focal Length is about 200mm But up to 500mm (805mm 35mm Film Camera equiv) for tracks like Donington where I can't get anywhere close to the action. Also need to read that like that Pete just sent as it reminded me of...

Owen, good question. (One of the disadvantages of GPlus) I'll have a look. 500mm is only used at the "proper" tracks like Silverstone/Brands. For the rest, I'll check now.

...and Anglesey as well ... https://plus.google.com/photos/100417277769112625713/albums/6040865097764149521

and here's some from last year at Pembrey: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/100286869467735436110/albums/5890204589875114465

Thanks Pete. Good advice, as for knowing when to watch and when to take photos is a good point, one of the challenges I face is that we prep the car, I go with my friend to the assembly area and then, as he's about to go out, it's my job to start the GoPro video recorder and then using pedal...

Glass is looking like a likely first step then. ISO wise, 200 or 400 most of the time. I do think I'd need the 400mm for the larger tracks (Or am I just kidding myself) When viewing images on Flickr (Which i spend hours doing) I pay attention to the length and people often shoot at 300mm+...

First a bit of background. I'm a very amateur photographer and 90% of my photos are taken at club racing motorsport events where my friend races throughout the UK. It's just club motorsport and I don't have any special access. My pics come out alright most of the time, but lack a bit of...

I like the iPad connector option, I'll look into that too. Thanks.

Oops, I'm sure it uses a SDCard as well as a CF Card? I'll have to double check now. it's mainly for her to use to see pics on iPad when she's out and about.
