All the best

Cheers Mate,always use a monopod for sports & events as getting close to the action along with 3 million other people and a tripod is a pain in the proverbial you know what...

Steve, you will have so much fun with the D300, I have been playing with mine at practice, before I start commentating the sprints etc, that burst rate with a race car coming through a bend is awesome..

Excellent shot mate. If you had done it with a canon the front wheel would have been off the ground

Seriously though this is a cracker. Great shot!
