Nice panning Jon.

Would have been even better with the car on left side facing the open frame of the shot. Rigth now that abrupt ending is a bit distracting.

Thanks K-amps.

I was actually going for panning shot with the car on the left side of the frame for most of the event. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to produce a good shot, for a number of reasons. This one came out the best, IMO. Next time I go to a track day, I will definitely give your suggestions a "shot".

Fist shot I was happy with after buying my 7D back in May:

Nice shot!

Manual exposure? -EV at work?

I love the darker exposures like this but only get them in manual...

Thanks! No, this was shot in Av mode at f/4.0 with no EV.

What did you meter on and what was the WB set at?

I have my meter set to evaluative metering and my WB set on auto. I shoot RAW so I just tweaked the WB in Lightroom.

After dreaming about this lens for a long time, I finally got it 5 days ago. This was my first shot...a pigeon near my yard.

7D, f/5.0, 1/250, ISO 100 @ 200mm. Cropped and some PP in DPP.

Not sure what you tweaked, myself I often increase blacks... just seems to increase the "purity" of the image (like in yours) and remove Haze....

I too love this lens and find that it sits in my bag and then when I get it out I wonder why I haven't used it more but then I have to say that about all of the lenses in my bag or at least all of the canon lenses. I guess that really I just need to shoot a lot more
