I was shooting for a well known publication (in the UK) so I'm still going through 'em, but here are a couple from yesterday:

    These are perfect man,
    I can't think of a single issue with either one. Very cool shots.

    As fish just said-if you have a day job, it's time to quit...

    Take care
    If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...

    Are you using a tripod/monopod when shooting these? I see you are using the 20D just as I am, but I am still not quite getting the detail you are.

    No tripod or monopod - I'm using a 1DMK2, or a 1D MK1.

    Yes, that is a 300 f2.8 I'm using too!

    *sigh*

    I guess the 1dMk2 does make that much of a difference. I am getting closer on shots like that, but just not quite

    I look forward to seeing more. I shot some races for the first time last weekend. I am a total amature, but man I had an instant appreciation for race shooters. The action is soooo fast that is you are a bit sluggish and your eguipment is a bit sluggish, the shot is gone before you know it.


    Great work.
