:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: not me i'm afraid! I do work in construction but I work in an office!

I'll definately have a look into that. I'm really interested in improving my photography skills, it's amazing how different taking pictures of dogs is to taking pictures of bikes. Atleast with a bike you have an idwa of where it's going to go or what its going to do Funnily enough, I do work...

Took the pups out again this weekend and managed to get abit more practice with the new lens. Happy to say that his face and ears are now completely in focus! IMG_7895(1) by Sam Edwards, on Flickr IMG_7863(1) by Sam Edwards, on Flickr Also, following on from one of the earlier comments, I...

Thanks for your advice guys. I guess because his nose and mouth are nearest to me, I've pointed the camera at that rather than looking for his eyes instead. First time using the lens though, so I just need to experiment with different depths of fields etc. Yes it's a very fine line with where I...

Guys, Bought a 50mm f.1.8 II to go with my Canon 7D mark I this week, and took it out this morning to take some photos of my girlfriends dogs. Not sure if this is purely down to my focusing, or just getting used to the lens, but as you can see in this photo below, the dogs nose is nicely in...

When the sun eventually comes out in the UK, do any of you guys use polorizing filters for your motorsports shots?

I'm in a similar situation to yourself. I've had the 100-400 for a number of years, and it's been superb. But I'm looking for something to go with it for the tracks you can get alot closer, such as Oulton and Cadwell Park, and I'm leaning towards the 70-200 f2.8. For £700 you can pick up the...

Hi Guys, Quick question, I have the Canon 100-400 MKI paired with the 7D MKI, can I use this combination with a 1.4x or 2x extender? If yes, would it be at the expense of autofocus? Photographing BSB/WSBK/MotoGP at various tracks around the country. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance you could post a few photos? Are you able to stand with the grandstand on your right at the mountain so it's more of a front on shot?

thanks for the responses guys! Big Rob, thanks for that, i'll bear it all in mind. Is the fencing around the mountain waist height or is it taller than head height? If i go i'll only be going on the friday and saturday.

Took a trip to Oulton Park last weekend for the first time and was very impressed by the circuit and the viewing points, now thinking about taking a trip to Cadwell Park for the BSB later in the year, what's it like for photographers around the mountain area? I know i'll have to get there early...

If the track day is before Easter weekend (which i believe is 4th April?) then I dont think you'll be able to get onto the infield due to the renevation works taking place. So if they are using the short circuit, I find the best places would be on the outside of the Foggy Esses (photographs...

and so yesterday i became the proud owner of a 7D! :) just need a little bit of advice about memory cards, the one i was using in my 500D was a Sandisk Extreme 8GB 20MB/s, anyone recommend a memory card for the 7D? i was looking at the Sandisk 32GB 160MB/s, but i'm not quite sure if i need the...

wondering if anyone has the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens, how are they getting on with it? What is the image quality like at the top end? I must admit I'd never heard of the lens until I saw it in a Jessops brochure over the weekend! I currently have a Canon L 100-400mm with a 500D (soon to be...

thanks for that. I've seen quite a few 7Ds around the £500 - £600 mark, so I think that's what i'll go for :)
