Some nice pics there, I have just got my first DSLR too, a 400D also. Going to have a go of some decent shots at Harewood hillclimb at the weekend.
I like shots 41 and 44, any idea what shutter speed/settings you used?
Nick
Thank you. I like shots 41 and 44, any idea what shutter speed/settings you used?

41 was with the camera set on AV so I have no idea.
44 was at 1/160.
The thing that strikes me is how soft and lacking in contrast most of the pics are? is this typical of DSLR kit lenses and generic camera setings? if so it's very disappointing .. not a reflection on you but an observation that the pics look like they've been taken on a 50 pound compact not several hundred pounds worth if DSLR kit .. many of the shots would look fantastic if they were sharp and punchy so the basics are there but the pics aren't really jumping out of the page ..
