I usually use Hama filters for the screw in filters as they’re relatively cheap and I go through a lot of them whilst using the genuine Canon one for a drop-in. You can still use a Circ-Pol with a lens hood, it’s just a bit more fiddly to rotate them is all.

A circular polarizer is a must for motorsport photography but it also makes a difference your position relative to the sun. Also certain competition cars have a finish on the windscreen or the windscreen is raked in such a way that a polarizer doesn’t make a difference. It’s pretty rare though !

That’s just a standard initiation for a pro level driver in Prodrift, the first sector is run backwards down the hill and into Honda with most drivers achieving around 90 degree’s of angle before the apex :)

Thank you everyone !

Right, this really needs to go ASAP.

I’m now including an 18-55 Canon lens, a 2GB CF card and I’ve reduced the price to 700 o.n.o.

I’m ordering a 5D MKII shortly so need for this to go ! Perfect camera for someone who wants to start into digital photography or for an advanced user looking to upgrade their gear !

Cheers folks :)

I put together a post on boards on how the first shot was created, thought some of you may be interested in the read :

Original :

Colour / Levels post work :

The rear 1/4 of the car wasn’t sharp enough so I dropped in the rear from this shot (also same colour work as above) :

Finished :

Although the blur looks a bit photoshopped to me (hope Im right ;) )

You’re wrong, lol :) The blur is natural, the camera is actually physically attached to the car and the boom arm is removed in post.

Thanks for the compliments though :)

And I’d be upset if you didn’t offer honest advice :)

I’ve actually spent the last hour or so, adjusting that first shot, I brought in the original sky from the RAW exposure, and darkened the glass a bit aswell. I removed the text of the Supreme Fuels sign but not the sign itself. TBH, I don’t feel comfortable adding more blur there when it isn’t in the original. I had a hard time getting some slow exposures (This was 1/2 a second with two Circ polarizers and at F22, ISO100)

Let me know what you think ?

As for the second one, I’ve already addressed that darkness in a more recent edit but just don’t have it to hand, I definitely agree with you on that one though !
