Nsw State Supersprint Championships Round #5

[FST513]

I went to Wakefield on Saturday for the NSWSSC Round #5.

Was a great Day had by all! Some super fast lap times by all competitors, especially two 35GTR's! I believe they are members here also.

I hope you enjoy the pics

Each picture gets better and better Love it.

[NA_Goodness]

Fantastic shots as always, mate!

[FST513]

Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments!

[Doobs]

I love the shot of Duncan's GTR. I wonder if it uses a fuel can per lap.

I need to turn you upside down and shake out all your wisdom!

I think the 3rd pic is my fav. But it's a hard call.

Any chance I can get a larger copy of that panda MNR? Number 9. I work with the person who built that and did the wiring loom in it

haha please don't I'll get dizzy

if your heading to the SAU trackday in July feel free to question me there but not upside down!

Thanks for the compliments again!

Yeah sure, for an SAU member what the heck . As long as it's not used for commercial work, no probs.

PM me or email me what size your after/print size you want and I'll resize them for you.

Do I get a free home loan for it

[MRSAMO]

Great shots, what lenses did you use for these photos?

[MaTBoY]

PM'ed!

I should be at the track day, probably not driving though. cash be tight. So I'll wear my best shaking gloves

Maybe not a free one but there's some cash back from commission for car members and sau.

[FST513]

Reeeeplied.

Oooo alright. Get your panning gloves on too Feel free to come and bash info out of me all day.

Hahaha i was just jesting. I'm no where near financially stable enough yet to get a home loan. Oh, and i'm too young(22) to think about that just yet, few more years!

Good to see some R35 GTR's racing the tracks!

Nice pics FST513.

[FST513]

Thanks for the comments guys

Sorry Rocklee it seems my iphone skipped over your post. I used a 70-200 2.8IS for these photos.

Cheers!

Matboy, i sent you what you requested at 3000x2000 which should be sufficient for poster size prints. Let me know if its not

[MaTBoY]

Thank you sir!

Top lenses, I thinking about the 2.8 or 4.0, speed vs weight

[FST513]

Yeah its a great lens! Might be a bit heavy for some people but i find it fine!

You looking at the mark I 2.8IS or the mark II 2.8IS?

the F/4 is the sharpest version of them all if your after pure sharpness and don't need the extra stop.

Although the mkII 2.8IS is super sharp also, comparisons reveal similar results were previous results, the 2.8 was soft wide open.

[MRSAMO]

Absolutely, its funny I can get some great feedbacks on camera gear on a motoring forum! lol

I'm a landscape shooter which was why I was looking at F4. My uncle has the 2.8 mk1 IS version and he barely uses it (might sell it to me for cheap ;-) )

I hear that the 2.8 mkII isn't a significant improvement over the older one, I think most people should be happy with either.

Yeah lol.. Because most motorsport photographers use a WA, Mid zoom or prime (24-70 or 50mm) and a 70-200 + then a bigger lens like 300,400,500,600 lol.

Yeah good choice then if your a landscape photographer, mostly shooting off a tripod, you won't need IS then but its good to have for those portrait shots/typical shots.

Well, i think its a big improvement from what i've seen. They've given it another stop of IS, Apparently got rid of the focusing issues which can't be calibrated through microadjustment (spot on focus at 70, but not at 200), its sharper, not soft wide open anymore and more controlled CA.

But for an extra $1200? No thanks lol. I'll wait until the price drops!

Soon 70-200 2.8IS's will be selling second hand for $1600'ish i think!

Great images, i own the Blue and White R100 Sports Sedan car #55 hope to see you at more rounds.

[FST513]

Thanks mate!

P.S. Your car will be in Hot4s next issue (196) from the SAU shoot AGES ago to palm beach. Just a reminder!
