If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I'm pretty keen to learn from others as well.... never been one for big groups but hell with the awesome shots being produced by guys on here I would be dead keen to learn of you all....

I'm off to shot Rally Whangarei this weekend which should be awesome fun as always (love shotting Rally)..

Here's some of the stuff I have shot over the years
Rally NZ 2010
Targa Rotorua 2011
Rally Whangarei 2011

I've found this guy overseas who has some amazing Rally Shots... on his Fb page he has a few examples of before and afters which show how much better images can be after some good post processing.... mine look more like his befores.... would love to find good Photoshop post processing courses / guides so I can produces images like his afters...

Check him out:

What causes all those artifacts? My lens is clean - just reflections of light or something?

Did you use a macro/adapter etc. It could just be light off dust, you get extreme bokeh from little light in close up with shallow DOF.

Yea, just the good and cheap Kenko extension tubes, presumed it must be something about light reflections or some weird shit like that.

New toy :)

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Sigma-30mm-f-1.4-EX-DC-HSM-Lens-Review.aspx

Have had to do some microadjustment (+15 lol) to get the lens right, but not bad. RAW to JPEP, alright results so far.

All at f/2.8 - 1/1600 - ISO400

Okay so had an awesome weekend up north following Rally Whangarei, ended up shooting the same stage twice over Saturday with a mate and then headed out Sunday on my own to shoot another stage...

We borrowed / hired (from Topic Rentals) a few lenses (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L mkii , Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L , Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L non-IS) and man they were awesome to shoot with.... want to try the 16-35 again didnt have the best of luck with it in the morning... think that was mostly due to the lack of light... mate used it in the afternoon in bright sunlight and produced some amazing stuff...

anyways heres a few that Im really happy with:
