Got to experiment with the Canon 7D the other night at Barbagallo Raceway, unfortunately is was in very poor conditions. The practice was delayed so by the time the cars were on the track it was far too dark. As a result I had to shoot wide open (on a 300 F4L IS) at max ISO. A lot didn’t turn out, but I was quite surprised at how many did, especially given the conditions.
I have always been a fan of this event, you get a huge range of different cars which gets mixed with some very skillful driving, what more could you want? This year was interesting, because on the first few days the drivers were subjected to the rain which can turn any event upside down. Unfortunately Levi and I could only make the last day, but by then the competition was still fierce. Here is a select few from the day.
Got to attend a SAUWA Skidpan Day at the RAC Driving Centre recently and it was my first chance to fiddle around with a 5D MKII. Absolutely fantastic camera. I was planning on taking photos on my trusty 30D, but I couldn’t resist using the Video mode on the 5D. This is the result:
Unfortunately this is my first video edit and I got the video conversion wrong, hence why it looks like it skips a fair bit. I’ve found out where I went wrong so in the near future I’ll head back and fix it up.
