Wayne Miles, ex Sprintcar, current Saloon driver. Somebody drove it in the overseas practice, I presume he did, also went out in the grand parade.  |

The images are so sharp!!
I have been a one-eyed Canon supporter for a long time, but everyone around me is buying Nikon stuff and I have long envied Nikons clarity of "stock" lenses.
My dad has had Nikon gear for many years and has a D70 and I cant get over how clear everything comes out.
One workmate has just aquired a D60, and so has another friend, whilst another workmate has a Nikon D300 (or is it 300D) to go with his other Nikon bodies and he does fantastic work at the Jetsprints, bike races and V8s. (positive images photography)
I am starting to look at my Canon 40D and L series 70-200 lens as perhaps being the wrong path to follow??
Keep up the good work P.M

Hi Drew, Ian does a great job with his motorsport photography.
I use Canon gear for work during the week and Nikon gear for my personal shooting.
If you want good stuff from a canon you need to move up to a pro camera like a eos Mark 1 or Mark 2 body for sports as that have that little bit of extra grunt.
Keep at it mate.
Regards GT

Thanks everybody. I have a budget Nikon Digital SLR, D60, got it for less than a grand with two lenses, and I have a couple of other Nikon lenses from my older film camera. A lot of my other stuff has been taken on a $200 Kodak Digital, but a 10 megapixel one, and a lot have been published in Petrolhead and NZ Rodder, etc. Those were all shot with a 200mm lens, probably at no more than 150mm. A lot of it is about what you do to the image after you have taken the photo, being used to the days of developing and printing photos you learn about composition and cropping etc. Been doing it a long time, took my first infield stockcar photos in 1963, so experience helps.

Keep up the good work P.M Drew The snapshot quality from the latest digital cameras is superb nowadays, plus the price of these cameras is coming down which helps too. I think it was Kodak that said you just push the button and we'll do the rest. Many people view a good clear sharp image and ask what kind of camera but as Pallmall has mentioned its the post processing of an image using image editing software like Photoshop that makes the biggest difference to quality. And if you are keen to crank your photography skills a notch or two again then you may want to consider shooting in RAW rather than jpeg. This process requires more dollars for the likes of larger hard drive, more RAM, software etc but its fun if you have the time and passion.
