Hi Guys, 
Thought I would give the new camera a go today.  I decided to got to my local circuit, Croft. They were holding a multi stage, single venue rally (Jack Frost Rally).
Its fairly cold and the cars were struggling for grip which made for good watching.
 
 
Here is the best shot I got this morning, I'm not over happy with it but will have to go out and try again.

 

Thanks For looking

Pete, that is a good start.  I get the feeling of motion, good color, all is on focus, and can see the driver quite clearly.  Sounds like a good time was had by all.

The AF in the D7200 is very capable, but one has to experiment quite a bit to learn what settings to use when. I am still learning mine...

It might be the first time using the D7200 but it looks like you have been around photography for a while.  It is a good shot.

You would be correct, I started about 12 years ago with a Nikon D50, then progressed to  a Nikon D80, but haven't been out with a camera for about 5 years, and was Looking through some old photos I thought to myself why did I stop? So my wife got me the D7200 for my birthday and I intend to make good use of it.

 

thanks for looking guys

>>Shameless self-promotion mode>> A good way to get used to a body and it's quirks quickly is to participate in my One week... challenges. The whole idea behind the challenge is to get out and use one camera and lens until it becomes second nature. I usually shoot for 20-45 minutes per day and can do the selection and processing in about the same time in the evening while winding down. <<Shameless self-promotion mode<<.

 

The important thing is to not only shoot, but reflect on what settings worked, and which didn't. Capture NX-D reads the full EXIF, and presents it in a clear and concise way if you need to check things like what metering and AF mode was used and what settings for the Picture control and the Active D-lighting.

Sounds like a good idea, I just have to find time to fit it in, what with work and taking the kids to clubs etc I don't get much time on an evening, but I really should make the effort.

my stick my nifty fifty on the week and try get some shots done.
