Do you still have a camera for sale? My old 1D MK II N is acting up lately.

Tommy, I do still have the MkIV and am going to sell it. I prefer to pass it on to a moto friend. I was going to wait until the end of the season, but it's looking like this might have been the last race for me given a family thing that got scheduled up in BC for Elsinore and some prior commitments on the Utah date. Still would like to get to Unadilla.
PRM, there's long answers to those questions. Good glass is pretty key for fast focusing (wider apertures let in more light), better contrast and sharpness, and flexibility for shallow depth of field. Good glass will make a middling body perform well, and cheap glass will make a top body perform poorly. Unfortunately, good glass is expensive. I shoot raw and process in Photoshop (CS6) and use Bridge. Some people prefer Lightroom or different non-Adobe programs, and some people shoot strait to jpeg. I try to pay attention to white and black points in the Adobe Camera Raw processor for the primary contrast adjustment rather than the contrast slider. Most usually don't require a lot; Washougal is always requires a little more work to cope with the shadows and brightness, and i got a little sloppy just from sheer fatigue and had to work more than I would have liked after the fact and some still could do with a bit more polish.
Paul Buckley has a long thread in the photo forum on general composition and technical execution tips.
Thanks again!
