ok now ive worked out how link photos here goes
A few different shots and a small explanation of how they were taken so you can see what shots are possible with both the Lens's i was talking about.
Scenery : Shot using Nikon D60 and 18-200 mm AFS F3.5 - F5.6 VR lens and Circular polarising filter
Exposure: 1/2500 sec
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/2000)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 150 mm
Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/36.0
Focal Length: 200 mm
This one was taken with the Polarising filter removed and the UV filter fitted. Slightly annoyed at myself here tho as i think the filter was a bit dirty. If you look closely you can see a blue car driving down the road. you can notice how different the lighting is with the different filter.
ACTION :Again shot using Nikon D60 and 18-200 mm AFS F3.5 - F5.6 VR lens and Circular polarising filter
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/7.1
Focal Length: 150 mm
Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 82 mm
All the above were shot on the Zoom. Theses next ones were shot in low light so i used the Prime 50mm AFS 1.4 AF as i needed the apature wide open to let as much light in as possible.
Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/1.4
Focal Length: 50 mm
Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/1.4
Focal Length: 50 mm
As you can see on these two the Depth of Field is pretty awsome you just cant get the same effect with the zoom unles you wanna spend £1000+ on a F2.8. You are a bit limited with the 50 sometimes because its fixed focal length - i usually find its not to bad though. Just need to stand a bit further back or a bit closer!!
Motorsport : For motorsport photography you really need the zoom tho!
heres a few from this years BTCC
The above shots were grabbed by messing about with various shutter speed from 1/40 to 1/320 and using panning with the multi burst release function on the camera. This is where the D60 falls down a bit - it could do with a faster multi burst. Ive used my mates D300 and its about four times quicker on the multiburst. It is however roughly four times more expensive!
Hope this helps illustrate the difference between the Lens's and shows what different shots can be acheived by each.
