I've got a canon eos 350d (dsl-r) I was pondering about getting a few of us together and going out photographing one day in the next few weeks

hmmmm, and what lens do you have, i do alot of bikes and its not an easy capture..........

Paul the 6th · 21-04-10, 12:24 PM

well I got the standard 18-55mm lens which comes with the body and then a 80-300mm ef ultrasonic lens for zoom type stuff.. Best bet is prolly adjusting the focus to the right bit of the corner before hand so the camera can shoot continuously without having to worry about focussing each time - or - lock it to focus from one of the AF points (prolly the central one) so it doesn't have to choose where to focus each time, it can just get on with it..

Then it's just a case of choosing the right shutter speed so you don't get a static/overly blurred image.. Prolly somewhere around 1/125, 1/100 or 1/80 depending on light

Done it with cars before but never actually tried it with bikes.. it works in my head lol.. Worth a 'shot' I reckon (terrible joke)
