Went to a racing scool last week end with my new bigma (135-400 ). The track opened at 8 am and I had to start learning this lens fast. The morning shots were so so and i had douts about the lens. As the afternoon run started I was learning the lens and got real comfterable with it and started to capture a lot af shots. We had a lot of rain earler and only had a few spots i could shot from with out having wet feet all day. Next time I will explore more of the track.

    I like this one best.
    For the sake of constructive criticism...a little heavy in the contrast and a little light in the crop but I still like it! Way to go with that new lens. thumb.gif

    Thank you for the comments. A little on the bright side and cropping was light. but I want to get the shots out of the camera close on the first shot and not have a lot of post prosessing as these all were JPG. Next outing I am going to try to find better spots to shot. And will do more raw shots as I learn the lens. I just wish I could tell the track to cut the grass. And I will take some wadders with me this week end with all the rain we received this week, and i don't think any of the riders that leave the track will be coming back on the track for the afternoon run. eek7.gif
