Day at Sepang

I attended the Canon Sports workshop over the weekend

Mission of the day was to test our the 7D's AF tracking

Some sample shots below.








The 7D is a vast improvement over my 450D in terms of focus accuracy and speed, even using the same 55-250IS, which is rather slow.


The Sifu himself, Ruddie.

Got plenty of valuable tips from him today. Once of which after asking him why the pictures are soft even though the panning was good (I was shooting as low as 1/40), he mentioned that at that speed, its not the panning technique - he liked the background blur, but more like the racecar bouncing around on the track. Something the eyes can't see, but the camera picks up.


So i suppose, next time I will have to shoot at higher shutter speeds.


Unfortunately, I had a prior appointment so I had to leave early missing out on some of the picture review session.

Great to meet up with Ian Ho and Ben Lim from lowyat network.

Perak Drift 2009 Race day

Perak Drift 2009.

Most of the day and memory card was filled with these which restricted me to a less than ideal shooting position and angle, so if the pictures all end up looking the same, well you'd know why. ;p





Ah, that said, lets move on to the pictures. I will upload more once I get to sort through all of them.


Our "Rempit" friends we there to entertain the crowd. Off the streets and on the Track seems to be the moto of the day!




























And some of my buddies with class wins in the earlier time attack competition. Contratulations!

It was a great day, crowd turnout was good and the weather was on ourside. Kudo's to Danau and Tougeking for the great event.

MAM Autokhana pictures

I just realized I still had a few pictures that I have not processed ye, so here they are.






Last but not least, Fast like his father, our track junkie friend Su, which managed a podium finish (sorry didn't stick long enough for the prize ceremony). Congrats!

I only stayed for a few minutes and didn't take much shots, since the organizers held the event mid afternoon. Way to hot to stay out there and shoot.
