Hi dfreeborg, Those are very nice, you must have been panning very fluidly to have the cars that sharp at 1/60 .. This last weekend I started at 1/100 and most of them were not keepers I think in ...

Hi I hope someone can help me. I haven't yet got my head around how to use layers properly. I will have 7 night time pictures to blend together. I want to blend them so lighter elements are ...

Hi TRIODEROB, There is no way that is mellow :-) Mark_A

Hi Tadengey, That is a big insect! Mark_A

Hi Vidau, Thanks for your comment. Mark_A

Hi dfreeborg, Thanks for your comment. And you are right of course, saved some keepers I should have then gone for some more extreme shots also … and there was plenty of time to do it .. oh well, ...

Hi Midwest, Thank you for your comment. I hoped they were panned enough not to be "static" shots but there are not so many options to make images that display movement. That session I was aiming ...

Sorry, glacier / iceberg I wasn't thinking while I was typing :-) It is an amazing colour. Mark_A

Hi Ernie, Thanks for your comment, I really enjoyed myself, the D800 is such a pleasure to use. On AF-C I guess I was worried if my focus point wandered off the bike the camera could focus on ...

I didn't know you were a biker, I went Yamaha, Yamaha, Suzuki. With a non running Triumph in the middle which just never got rebuilt. There were actually quite a lot of Harleys there. Here is ...

Hi dpalr, Nice idea for a shot. My son actually remembered (more was reminded probably) anyhow was nice to hear from him. Mark_A

Hi dpalr, Thanks, I think it was actually a Harley :-) I had potentially a better shot of it, but it was too blurry. Mark_A

I just posted a thread of modern motorbikes at the event here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61273843 In this thread are the more classic bikes, some of which were plenty quick on the track. ...

These are the more modern bikes that were there this last weekend. I tried panning at various speeds and ended up at 1/160s which seemed to balance sharpness in the bike with slightly blurred ...

Hi Illuminous Image, It is a nice shot and the colour of the ice is surprising but I have no reference point to tell me the scale of the ice burg. It could be absolutely massive or quite tiny. Mark_A

Hi quadalcanal, I don't know what an sd quattro is, but the two photos are completely wonderful! Bravo! And very stunning in original size maxed up …. glorious. Mark_A

Hi Vlinderstruik, I like this first one more than the other two. Very nice. Somehow the roses are sitting in a comfortable bed of green leaves which both supports and frames them. Mark_A

Hi Rookie_HK, A very nice mix of colours in this. Would it have been possible to see a little more of the bottom of the shot? Mark_A

Just back. In the end I used AF-S rather than AF-C, and a single central focus point rather than trying groups. The D800 focussing is way faster than my last camera. I switched from single shot to ...

Hi Greggo777, I think to get sharp foreground and into the background you are supposed to focus at something called the Hyperfocal Distance, which as I understand it is about 1/3 way into the photo. ...
