David,
I greatly enjoyed your galleries. I was stationed at Upper Heyford in the late 70's, early 80's. Seeing all your galleries brought back some great memories. I especially enjoyed seeing the Hook Norton Brewery which is where I took my wife on our first date.
When I was stationed there, I stopped at the canals and was facinated by the locks. We would love to come back and take a canal trip. Thanks again for sharing your excellent work.

Hi antonoat, thanks for the message. I am not sure that you need to learn much having seen your site. Just hope for some nice weather.. :-)

Hi David, saw your Superbike post on DP and though I would check out your pbase.
Some cracking shots. I also have the motorsport bug and am learning fast, I hope.
Haven`t been to Brands for quite a few years, maybe I should go. Off to Castle combe for a bike track day tomorrow.If my results are half as good as yours I will be well pleased.
Cheers.

The lens was the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 AF-S VR. I am sorry that the exif information, and hence aperture information is missing from these photos. I think that the batch process that I used in Photoshop Elements to resize for the web has stipped the exif data. I have looked at the originals and the aperture ranges between f2.8 and f6.3. The light was not particularly brilliant during the VW Cup race.

Hayden, thanks for the comments. I shoot 80% of the time with the Aperture Priority (A) setting. That means that I choose the aperture and camera chooses the shutter speed. For landscapes, shots in towns, people, etc, this works pretty well (for me at least). I usually try and set the aperture (f number) to f8 for the landscapes/towns. For the motorsports, I use the shutter priority (S) setting. This time I choose the shutter speed and the camera chooses the aperture. For panning motor shots I try and go for 1/125, or thereabouts. For head on shots you will need something much faster - 1/1000 or quicker. At all times, I try and keep the ISO setting at 100. However, with the D50 you can go up to 1600 and it is still very usable. I don't try and guess all 3 (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) as the camera is very good with its matrix metering of selecting what is needed. You could also try the Programme (P) setting. This time the camera will select both shutter speed and aperture, and will try and base the combination that it selects on the type of lens that you have on the camera. Remember as a rule of thumb you need to keep your minimum shutter speed to 1/(the equivalent focal length of the lens) in order to be able to hand hold the shot. So for example, with a 200mm focal length on the D50 this is equivalent to 300mm and you should therefore ensure that the minimum shutter speed is quicker than 1/300th of a second. In Programme mode, the camera will try and ensure that it selects this as a minimum speed for you. I hope that this helps. The D50 is a great camera and is no different in operation in the A,S, and P modes than the professional camera bodies. David

hey there. Id just like to say your a great phtotgrapher and i love all your images. just wondering, but when you shoot with your d50, do you use the 'point in shoot mode' where it chooses all the settings for you? or do you choose the shutter speed, aperature, iso etc? because wenever i shoot i try to guess the settings and i look at my camera and it usually has a different idea? sorry to be a pain, only reply if you have a spare minurte , i understand your a busy guy taking photos.

Thanks for your comment. No, I am not a professional, just an enthusiastic amateur. I think that the D50 is a great and probably underrated camera.
Guest 21-Aug-2006 01:28
Wow. Fantastic images from a D50. What a great camera.
Are you professional?
