[PIC_THREAD] Sports, Action, Transportation

I haven't been in here for a while (not feeling it with photography at the moment :( h). Nice page, some lovely images recently. Nice work all :)

Anyone going to RIAT this weekend? I was expecting to have to work this weekend instead so cancelled my 100-400 rental, but now I can go. Only have a 70-200 though now!

It wasn't fun getting stuck in traffic, ending up on the far left of the crowd line and only having a 70-200... :D

...and an extender:D.
That's some lens though, your Flickr shots show the sharpness even with the 1.4x, is it the Mk. III?
Beautifully exposed they are as well.
 
Yeah a cheap Kenko 1.4x TC, too tired last night, I did put that in the Flickr set description! Some are noisy as I underexposed. The weather was cloudy for the majority of the day and haze was a problem. Originally I was going to hire a lens, but I was expecting to have to work this weekend and it was only cancelled at the last minute.
 
I don't venture into the photography section very often but thought I'd come post a variety of bits from the last year of getting out & about. The BTCC stuff was the first time I'd ever shot any motorsports, lots of trail & much error! Holy huge image dump Batman.

Some local air festival stuff, yet more trial & error. Great fun but a lot of learning still to do.

Nice sets from Yeovilton and Shuttleworth footman, I really must make an effort to get to those next year!

Cheers, that Kenko 1.4x is a real cracker, it's always on my 300 2.8 for wildlife although it's too close for airshows mostly.

I don't think you'd get sharper shots using the Canon MkIII 1.4x which is the TC they all rave about on MkII lenses.
 
I've been busier recently so hoping to contribute to this thread more!
