KTM? They don't make cars as well do they?
Not
real ones.
That's a nice set Dave, good work. Were you using your Sigma f/2.8 50-150mm?
Yep. I'm mostly pleased with it although it did start to struggle round the back of the circuit amongst the trees when the sun went in.
Do you use any image enhancing software and/or cropping for those pics?
How do you get the image so sharp?
I was using a Nikon D70 with VR55-200 lens but i am a total newbie to DSLR
D70 with - as Pops surmises - a 50-150 f/2.8. VR is no substitute for lots of glass.
Loaded into Photoshop CS/3, cropped, and sharpened a little where needed. I only sharpen for web images - for prints I leave them alone, they always come out looking good. I did a lot of dashing around the circuit at a fast walking pace to get plenty of variety too - it's amazing how much difference 10 yards can make to the quality of the results!
Bear in mind also that the 67 pictures in the gallery represent a the cream of the crop - I shot nearly 4 2GB flash cards, each with about 370 pictures on, and ruthlessly discarded (well, archived onto DVD) the vast majority.
Another useful hint - shoot in raw (NEF) format, not JPG - there's far better preservation of colour depth, which makes a big difference when enhancing pictures rather than just printing them.
Looks like there were a lot of retirements in the Sunday race, and not much more of a crowd.
Nice pic of the lightly smoking Lambo.
