Well latest outing today, as this is tips and tricks then feel I should not just keep posting links to the flickr pics.

So I have just changed out from a Canon 40D with a 70-200 F4 L series lens, I am now running with Nikon D300s and 18-50 F2.8 & 50-150 F2.8 Sigma lenses, I avoid flash like the plague mainly as not really sure the club guys would be all that pleased with me both getting in their way but also blinding them with the flash.

With the sun high and breaking through the trees this is making the pics difficult to make sure the faces are not all dark, so a combination of high ISO, settings with aperture priority set to max at F2.8 I am just about making pics that are both interesting and rewarding. Oh yeh biggest improvement to colour was not using auto white balance, running with a combination of cloudy and direct sunshine in shade.

Other tip, get used to cleaning mud off the camera, cannot be avoided if you want the shots.

Here is the link then to my latest:
Twickenham TVTC Trial - Hook Woods, Surrey

Lastly, big thanks to Jim Connor for letting me rock up and giving me a nice parking spot.

Cheers all

Ian
