wow that was a much more civil and non-smack talking response than I was expecting. Thanks for your expedient service!

Surprising too considering I'm finishing off this PBR that was left in my cooler :laughing

 

[Vcook]

What ISO and shooting mode setting were you using? Were you using center weighted metering?

You may want to pick the turns you're shooting based on the angle of the sun. Based on the shadows it appears you had the sun in front of you for several of the shots. Combine this with the fact that you were shooting with the sun high in the sky and you get problems with contrast. This is especially true of dark bike/dart suit combinations.

I picked one under exposed picture to show you the histograph. If you adjust the camera to include this in the preview window, it can help you adjust your exposures for better overall contrast.

On the histograph, darker details are left and lighter right and the verticle is the level. Notice two things, the detail on the dark side is off the scale and on the right side isn't even registering. This indicates that this particular shot was underexposed. You could have probably slowed down the shutter two stops for this shot.

Interesting. I will try that, Practice makes perfect.

Awesome pics Tony! :bow ...thanks for taking these, very professional looking.

Can hardly believe this is me, such a huge improvement since my last time at the track last year (with different org)....my body position improved greatly from just a couple sessions with the CRs (thanks again Blarney for helping me to 'look for your keys' :cheers: ).

Tony, I'd love to get the full res image.

On it's way Frank

yeah, it did. the next day and in the other turn though

the bike was launched in the air by the pothole at the bus stop (which I swear was not there on Saturday).

Thanks for taking time to shoot photos! Those are important learning tool, as evidently shown by my bad example
