Excellent - love this type of image, superb when done properly. One MAJOR floor in this image though - her shadow is going in a completely different direction to everyone elses! Or am I being picky.....??

This is so, so tempting......... do I??? It's a cracking deal with the Curry's discount code AND the free grip. Or do I wait for the surely imminent D700 update? I've got the cash in my account ready to spend - what a dilemma! :bonk::bonk::bonk:

I actually quite enjoyed it! You were spot on with your advice Andrew, spent the day running between the top of the pit garages to the turn at 'Tarzan'. I went on the Saturday and particularly enjoyed the fact that they're were zero queues - drove straight onto the car park and walked...

OK Andrew, thanks for the heads-up. Hope it's not as dire as you're making out! Weather is supposed to be OK again tomorrow so hopefully I'll have a good day. I'll head to the spots you mention - sounds like on top of the pit garages is the best place for unrestricted views. I HATE...

I'm off to Rockingham tomorrow for the British Touring Car Championship. Got myself a Canon 100-400 for the weekend, was wondering if anyone could recommend the best places to shoot from on the circuit. Think tickets allow you access to most areas so any advice on where I should be heading...

Thanks everbody for your replies (and especially to Kev for the offer - I'm in Brum so a bit far away but really appreciate your kind offer). A new D3 would be cool, there's a few brand new still available on fleabay but out of my £2K budget. Then again a D700 is almost as good for half the...

Yeah, D700 has the SLIGHT edge with me right now. As I said, camera is mainly for fast moving stuff, motorsport, airshows etc - nothing stationary! That's why I began to think of the 1D Mk III as it's damn quick and I've seen it for a fair price. But damn I just can't decide! :help:

Yeah thanks - make my choice even more difficult!! :bonk: Seriuosly, did think about that one too (well, the D300s). Great camera too but as my budget stretches to the D700 I ruled it out. :)

I need help. I'm a newish member but long time lurker! I've done a ton of research into my next camera purchase and I thought I'd throw it out to you guys for some advice. My main interests are motorsports (including F1) and aircraft, mainly military. Obviously I need something with...

I've used for www.hireacamera.com for a lens or two but they also do a couple of Canon and Nikon bodies. Not cheap but great service. :)
