Still have to sort thru the over
Only two 914s ran the autocross but I have some great photos of those two plus some video from Bob Saville's runs in Huey that I will post in the next couple days.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Photos of "Mellow Yellow" in no particular order. Best shots showing different angles from multiple runs.

Autocross videos.
If you click the top one to start it and wait just a split second to start the bottom video, they will be very close to in sync for the first 30 seconds or so. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu-6AsjkqoA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyrYjbVILeE |

QUOTE(Zimms @ Nov 14 2011, 07:00 PM)  Nice Steve! What lens were you using? Thanks, Mark. Was using a Canon 75-300 IS. Shot ISO100 at 5.6 with the camera selecting the shutter speed - usually around 1/250. I was disappointed in how many shots were out of focus. That particular lens does not have a very speedy autofocus. Maybe I should have turned the IS on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Definitely turn the IS on. It will only help, especially with how slow the cars get in the turns where you are not panning much.
My 150 - 500 is pretty slow, especially on closing or take away shots. My only cure is to pre-focus close to where I plan to take the shot, and I pick 2-3 spots I try to get per car. I also tend to shoot more shutter priority, around the same speed you were using, 1/200 - 1/320. I think autocross is one of the most difficult track events to shoot. Big grey parking lots and trying to shoot one car at multiple speeds and locations during a single run. Good stuff! Keep em coming! |

For reference, Jeff with Mellow Yellow got FTD with 86.0, I got second with Huey with a clean 87.1. The second video above I got a 86.2, but hit that last cone.
We were the only two in the 80's.... |
