Quite few EH

 

dang Greg, you had clear skies today?

i got stuck shooting in the rain today... freakin cold and drizzling all damn day...

 

Depends on what Pentax has when I decide to upgrade, I'm open to any brand.

That camera sure looks good, but I'm not even going to look up the specs, I don't want to get tempted with anything right now

K-x shoots up to 1/6000 s which is pretty fast, but that does not mean I can always use it, if I had taken the pics any faster I would have sacrificed
some quality, but yes focus was part of the issue, AF could not keep up with the boats, those things are pretty damn fast and unpredictable. I could have squeezed a bit more speed if I had removed the cheap CPL I had on.

50-70mph but remember its a combination of their movement plus mine (shaking), I tried panning in some of them but I need more practice at that, I'll see when they have a race again, they are def a challenge, any tips for when I try it again are welcome.

 

I think you might be misinterpreting what I said. Your minimum shutter speed is 1/500th of a second. Anywhere between that and the 1/3200th of a second shutter speed is fast enough to freeze the action. If you went higher than that (1/6000), you wouldn't sacrifice image quality at all.

I agree that taking the CPL off might help if it truly sucks.

 

bout time you start contributing regularly to this thread. its nice to see pics/ get input from a pro. we had drizzle early afternoon. all the pics were from 7pm and on.

noise? im a noob

eh?

 

The grain on your pictures, your ISO was high

 

Yes I would have sacrificed quality because I would have to gone up on the ISO to get the faster speed and since pictures are cropped, noise would have been more noticeable.

Believe me the speed is necessary unless you get good at panning, I have taken pictures of R/C Cars before which run slower, I always had to shoot around 1/2000, specially if shooting at 200mm, a more steady hand would def help

 

now i cant decide between a telezoom like 80-200 2.8 or the 135mm f2 DC

the 135 f2


gosh damn

 

Nice!

I know this picture aint yours but this shot was taken at 1000 ISO on a D300 and i see grain!

 

yeah the d300 isnt the best for iso performance.

 

Im shooting all the time at 1000 in my D90 and teh re clear, they have the same sensor

 

better camera noise reduction algorithm probably

 

Svt Cobra

 

Sometimes, You?

 

Nothing wrong with a little grain

 

i can shoot at 3200 and it looks clear as day

 

yah, the Cobra belongs to TW member, in2nite...

thing is supercharged and tuned... scarey as fuck being the passenger in there... that thing just pulls...

 

You pay 4 times more then my body so that D700 better be clear LOL

 

, supercharged 5.4
