Very cool close ups!! How big a lens do you use to get out there? I need one for my camera, I'm on the hunt for something in the neighborhood of 500mm.

I'm using a Nikkor 70-300 on my D-80, which has a crop factor of 1.5, so the effective length is 450mm.

Those shots are also cropped a bit.

Here's a few more from Monday.

Enjoy!

I've got a few. Not as sharp as I would like, but they aren't too bad.

The 3 ground pictures as they were leaving the Gold lineup are captures from my video camera, so the quality isn't great.

Enjoy!

You guys/gals gotta quit apologizing for your images!

Sharing what you got is what it's all about.. if the images are not "perfect"... who cares!

We get to see what you saw!

Danno,

Great photos. A point of clarification for the sake of people looking to purchase camera equipment, the camera crop factor relates to viewing angle, not focal length. Your 80-300 lens is 300mm regardless of what camera it is mounted on.

The reason folks get confused about this is because pixel density varies from camera to camera, and for the most part it has traditionally tended to be higher on crop cameras than full frame cameras. If you mounted your lens on a full frame camera with the exact same pixel density as your crop camera, the "magnification" of the image would be identical. The difference is the full frame camera would have a wider viewing angle. In other words it would see a wider field of view, but with the same amount of detail at any given point.

Please don't take this wrong, I'm just a bug about this long standing point of confusion in the dslr market. The photos are great regardless.

Robert,

Good explanation of the 'crop factor'. Glad you spoke up to clarify things to those who might be a bit confused. Until wayne explained it a while ago, I wasn't sure what 'crop factor' even meant.

If you had your dual lens camera (or whatever it's called) with you at the races this year, I probably saw you at one point as I was rushing from here to there... unless there was more than one of those cameras there this year.

Enjoy!

Danno,

You probably did see me. I had my stereo camera, and from the looks of our respective photos, we were probably standing only a few yards apart in the grandstands.
