Fairplay with the d3
i use a 550d so probably about half the weight of a d3

was in broxbourne the other day shooting a video with a mate, riding with a camping rucksack with tripod, cam and enough food and drink too last the hole day so that didn't have to carry it all again, that was not fun carrying it.

My mates are too fast (I'm the new guy to the world of bikes) they'd be flying past before I'd even got my camera out, even if I had a 10 minute head start




Pfttt, I once lugged a rucksack with a 1D, 120-300, a couple of tripods, some flashes, AND a full 40lb downhill bike up a hill in Wales. Of course when I got to the top I was too tired to ride OR to shoot, I'm just saying it's doable..... kinda

I have the opposite problem

most my mates are too slow, I have time to get there and setup, but then the pics aren't that rewarding as they aren't really foot down cornering and going fast kicking dust up behind them

If Jon brings his purple blouse along you could get some glamour at the same time!!

Hi buntonn . love the new nikon 1 !! do you have the v1 or j1 ? with them you can t go wrong ;0)

I got the J1 for the following reasons. Loads cheaper, has good built in flash and if I really want to go beyond a compact level I'll use my SLR's. I need to get that adaptor though which will enable me to put my 70-200 on, keep f/2.8 and get 200 x 2.7 focal length, that will be awesome for motor sport!

If you need any riders, let me know where and when!!!

I could pull out the odd trick or 3!?

Thanks Matt. I think what I'll do is get along with my bike to a few events to get to meet some of you guys first and then we can arrange something.

Cool, if you ever need Dirt Jump riders let me know as i can try and get some people together and get some tricks thrown down for the camera!

pmsl, is that in epping?

It is indeed... Such a shame I couldn't make that ride..

Why don't you come over Danbury this sat 14th. i'll be there for about 10am. really good place to get use to your bike.
there are alway lots of people around for photo's, but i bet you spend more time on your bike.

You been to Buckmore Park in Kent at any time for the karting? there is a photographer that covers some of the races but his pictures are pretty boring.
