Went out to Eastern Creek on the weekend to try out newly acquired lens.

Nice action shots Scoobs...sharp, good focus and plenny of interest in your framing.
What is the 'new' lens? Are you a biker too?

Oh I bought the sigma 120-300mm/2.8 from mitedo, one of the members on this forum. I've never own a long telephoto lens nor shot motorsport before, so I was pretty excited. Well I wouldn't call myself a biker, I haven't rode a bike for 5 years now. I found spending money on two hobbies is more than I can handle.

Nice shots scooby, and they do take some time to get used to using the longer lens. I would play with shutter speeds and i see in #2 the front tire is frozen which is not what you want so experiment but i shoot bikes at between 200 to 320 and no more than 500 or you will freeze the action, but practice with your shutter and you will get it down pat.

Ah thanks for the tip. I'll try that again. The next track day is this Easter long weekend at Eastern Creek.
