    Thanks. I'm using the Nikon D700 and I when I shoot at ISO 2000 and below and underexpose a smidge, the images come out pretty clean. I do also do some minor noise reduction in Lightroom too - just enough not to loose sharpness.

    I don't nail focus every time, especially at a dark show like this. When I first started, my hit-rate was around 40%. I've got it up to about 75% now. Shooting in small 3-5 shot bursts gets good results with my body in continuous focus mode. The first one is usually off but the following shots are mostly tack-on.

    Obviously, I only show the winners. :p

    Good strategy is good :hehe:

    But seriously, 75% is a stellar keeper rate.

    Crop that a bit and it could have been used (admittedly maybe too obviously) as the cover for a release of 'God is a DJ' by Faithless. Nice shot.

    Rain. Lots and lots of rain. However it didnt stop me getting some shots at the British Superbike meeting at Thruxton this weekend.

    Plenty more to be processed but here are a few early ones.

    Loads more to go through yeah - these are the ones ive published so far: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61884863@N06/sets/72157633135726885/

    But il be adding some more over the next few weeks. Im slowly pulling together a facebook and twitter page so once they are operational with some half decent content il have some more time to go over the brands hatch weekend.

    Also, il be shooting BTCC at Thruxton in 3 weeks so il put up a few from there too

    Just doing some work in the backyard, which naturally leads to impromptu wildlife photos. :)
