Formula Drift

smallaperture · 4th January 2008

Sorry for the late post. Have been busy this entire week.

This is the first time I ever shot more than 1000 clicks in one go. Well, end up with 98% in the thrash bin. Just that I was trigger happy. Partly becos I was using my brand new lens for the first time - Tokina 50-135F2.8 DX. Just bought 2days before the shoot. Well, this ain't a good subject to test the lens thoroughly, as there was bright sunshine, so no chance to test the wide open aperture. But a good test of the AF speed - entirely satisfied with the speed. There wasn't a time when the AF wasn't able to cope with the fast moving car. Nor was there any hunting despite of the smoke that covered almost the entire car. Here are a few pic to share:

BTW, this is also the first time when I didn't shoot any gal at all in a car show.

Well, still haven't got the time to "test" out this lens thoroughly leh. But based on just a few snapshots at home, the lens is very good from F4 onwards. But, at F2.8, still pretty good if you dun pixel peep. And got it at a very, very

price.

Yep, Sean Khoo. Nice chappy fm KL. Teaches defensive & offensive driving with DriveWise. Very good drifter, he has been involved with Subaru demos over the last few MS supporting Rus Swift. I've ridden shotgun with him a few times, Awsome

The drivers would look cool holding their helmet in their arms and pose without the jockey caps. The cap made their face very dark.
