Thanks...I'm just reading up on TN panels --- should I then be looking for IPS panels or other types??2ms response, looks like a TN panel. Can't imagine it'd be much better than the rest of the cheap 22" units. By all rights the Dell should be much better.
Looks good man, what lighting setup where you using?First time shooting cars.. Quite fun, and well worth it for the fun of driving between locations.
I think that's the sun.And, i think you could have cropped the flash out in the 2nd pic, i really think flashes' shouldn't be visable in the frame, another big distraction for me.
What a knobendI think that's the sun.
1st one is teh bestest for me.
1st is natural light, 2nd 30sec exposure and light painted, 3rd 15sec exposure and light painted.Looks good man, what lighting setup where you using?
Pretty jelous of Paul, that thing's a beast haha.
Dell's 24" Ultrasharp and the Mac Cinema Screen. But I think the Dell comes in way cheaper.What's the middle ground of monitors between a $1200 Eizo/NEC and a $400 Viewsonic/Samsung/Dell?? I can't work out why there are no decent 22" monitors in the $500-900.
BTW wombat...the Eizo is only on my wishlist....don't know if I should realisticaly (or logically) get a $1200 monitor for a non-commercial hobby.
Cloning stuff in MTB photos will get you nothing more than a smacked bum.Sam... the first is the best for me, but I'd clone out the spectators above the rider.
Why? If cloning is acceptable in other areas of photography, why not in mtb shots? I personally don't see any real issue with it, especially for objects like helmets, rubbish, ugly people...Cloning stuff in MTB photos will get you nothing more than a smacked bum.
If it can be moved, push or kick it. If it can't be moved, move your own ass.
From what I know (not really a lot), yes. VA panels should be better than TN too, but apparently not as good as IPS.Thanks...I'm just reading up on TN panels --- should I then be looking for IPS panels or other types??
Nice pics. I think I saw you up at the race (didnt say hello but saw you in my passing travels snapping also).Hey snobbers, had an awesome weekend at Awaba, here are a few of my favourites.

Sorry for the watermark on all photos, but I'm sure you all know the deal on race pics.
That be light reflecting internally between the elements that make up your lens. Caused by stray light most of the time. A lens hood will help, as would removing all your filters etc but at the end of the day, it's a natural occurance. Try repositioning yourself so the sun is less extreme, sheilding the camera or else, just edit them out later (though they can be used for good effect).These sunspots/flares ...how bad are they? when are they good? How should I avoid them?
Painted, as in holding the flash and just firing it multiple times??1st is natural light, 2nd 30sec exposure and light painted, 3rd 15sec exposure and light painted.
The car is a beast. It's a pig as well, but it's one of those cars that just puts a stupid grin on your face. As soon as the turbos kick in it's like "weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" (that's the noise you make, though the car sounds similar too).
Exactly. Flash with stofen diffuser, walk around the car pressing the pilot button repeatedly, concentrating on areas where necessary and lighting as evenly as possible.Painted, as in holding the flash and just firing it multiple times??
