hi,
the race was fantastics, here i will be post some pictures

[Alpha_7]

Nice shots, and very good english (but no need for the "s" on fantastic.)
A good sense of speed and power has been captured in these shots!

[Glen]

Alex, tremendous images, well caught

[BBJ]

Hi Alex great shots mate as usual, were these shot withe the D70 or the Canon 1dsmkII, if so they are a heavy beast as well. Had a look at 1 the other day and yeh a lot heavier than the D2x.
But yeh mate well done.

[alex2k]

Hi bbj thanks,

i haven't got the 1dsmarkII, i have only the D70, but i think, the next 6 month i will buy the D2x.
On the press room i can see Stan perec with their D2x and 500mm, powerful

[BBJ]

Oh ok, just remember last shots some time ago was done with canon. yes well Alex they are lighter than the canon and i would almost say feels a bit better in the hand. I am on hold for awhile yet, there is no doubt this is a good camera in looks and feels good and i am sure when you get it will like it. That camera and lens of yours mate work well as usual.
Cheers
John

Nice shots.......just a question when you take pictures like that do you have a lens filter on or not ?

[alex2k]

Hi catcha,

no filter was used for any shots.

[alex2k]

Hi, another shots

[MCWB]

Damn Alex, you really know how to make that camera and lens sing! Excellent stuff, formidable!

[wendellt]

Amazing stuff TOTALLY AWESOME!

Alex you make the motor racing sport beautiful pieces of art for those who are not aquainted with the beauty of motorsport like myself.

étourdissement

[flipfrog]

so sharp, so colorful
great captures!

[gstark]

Alex,

The 3rd shot in the second group does it for me.

But the first rider in the background seems to be way off line ....

Awesome stuff though. What lens were you using?

[waspo]

Bloody awesome shots, Alex!!
What lens were you using again?
How close were you able to get to the riders?
Are you able to get infield and mix with the media and if so, can you tell us how?
Top stuff there, mate!!

Hey, I just got a translator.
Does this make sense to you, Alex?

Projectiles impressionnants sanglants, Alex ! !
quel objectif étaient vous employant encore ?
comment étroit étiez vous capable obtenir aux cavaliers ? est-ce que
êtes-vous vous capable obtenir l'intra-champ et le mélange avec les médias et si oui, pouvez vous nous dire comment ?

[alex2k]

hi all,

thanks for yours comments,
I use the D70 with 300mm F/2.8 AFS ED II + TC17,

For the pass press, i am one of photographers for an asssociation.
On press room, i can see stan perec and other, really cool man

[Manta]

Tres magnifique!

Brilliant shots Alex. Wow, wow and another wow!

(Excuse my French)

[waspo]

What a fantastic lens! The 3rd shot makes the track and kitty little look like a macro shot of a miniature track.
Alex, If you were to buy another lens, what would you buy?

[sirhc55]

In a word - impressionnant

[alex2k]

What a fantastic lens! The 3rd shot makes the track and kitty little look like a macro shot of a miniature track.
Alex, If you were to buy another lens, what would you recommend?

For race ? nothing else, the 300mm F/2.8 is realy good, + the nikon TC17 i am at 500mm F/4.8 and at F/4.8 the sharpness is here !

I think in january i will be buy the D2x.

[BBJ]

Great shots as usual Alex, yes lens works well for you and fantastic shots.

[waspo]

Alex, what sort of processing have you done on these images?

[alex2k]

if i understand,

i shoot in nef image, via manual exposure and focus. The nef go to Nikon capture and i finish with photoshop.

the first october, i will be buy my D2hs, finally the D2x isn't for me for many reasons, space for hardisk, my computer have got 512mb ram etc...

[Digidegs]
