Great shots, Steve, My experience has been that, for motorsports, trap focus works well when the targets are (predominantly) getting nearer or farther away from the camera, not so much when they're crossing the camera's field of view due to lock time. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Peso: Rounding the Bend
They tell me (I always wander around and talk to the teams) that the knee is more of a feeler than a support. They do grind away those knee pucks, though.

Re: Peso: Rounding the Bend
Especially when their motion is predictable. That shot was from my balcony, BTW. VIR has several onsite hotels and it was about $240 for two nights for my wife and I. It's a nice lodge and we get a relaxing weekend as well as the races. I wander aorund during the mornings but the afternoons get toasty in Southside Virginia.

The hotel and lodge looked nice, but was booked. It's a very nice facility, but it's a long haul from Atlanta with the trailered racecar and all the tools and stuff in the truck. I really hate the last couple of miles from the highway to the track, too, when I have the trailer. I don't know how the pro rig drivers do it. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
