Default SPGP Race Pics

Since there is a decal thread I figured I would not clutter that one up with race pics. Let see all the action shots. Ill start with some that I took and uploaded so far.

Whoa you have an awesome camera. What brand is that? How expensive is it?

Just a Nikon D80. You can get the body itself for about $750-$800. The lens I used was the 70-200 F2.8 VR which costs more than the camera but was well worth it.

I'm learning it's all about the lens.

framing the pics and having "an eye" goes a long way too......

Equipment, timing, composition, settings and post processing and knowing what to do with it all factor in.

There is just so much to learn.

Jim, the 70-200 2.8 was the best purchase so far you should look into getting one of those. It has always been known to produce sharp images, great for sports. I picked mine up used at North Tampa Photography. They always have a lot of Cannon stuff on consignment there.

Agreed but I think a lens is the long pole in the tent. I've got the eye for it, just need to get better equipment. I can really tell the difference between the kit lens and the zoom I bought.

Thanks for the consignment tip. I'll check it out.
