ChrisH Posted January 31, 2012 Share Fair enough. And yeah, the 5d has the bigger (and far better) sensor. ITO 50D, I can get a new 7D at a heavily discounted price, so that would be the route I'd go if I were looking for a new camera. Personally, I think the 5D is overkill. Like me buying a Trek EX 9.9SL because my EX9 isn't the ultimate. Stupid, in other words. And yeah re the 1.8. I agree there. Shoot with the 5D and you will realise just how much of a quantum leap it is. I resisted until a year ago and have never once regretted spending the cash for the full frame camera.

Grebel Posted February 1, 2012 Share excuse the watermark, i've had motocross images stolen and used in publications before crediting someone else Nice shots geecee. Where were those taken? Edited February 1, 2012 by Grebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted February 1, 2012 Share that was 10mm f6.3 1/500the previous was 100 f5.6 1/320 both i feel could have had a slower shutter speed and say aperture of f7.1 or so and i should have 'tracked' the rider more. Possibly - but I guess that's a personal choice. Maybe a bit background blur would add to the photo - but I like them as is - top shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted February 2, 2012 Share im normally there on the big events. but i cant say i have ever gotten any spectacular shots. altho my equipment has grown substantially in the last year I was thinking of the table top, the drop into the sand/river bed section and even the berms in the sand section. I believe that there is a big jump just after coming out of the sand as well. Like I said, I need the "Big Guns to be there to get the airtime shots! Might take a trip in the next few weeks to go and have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
