Default Williams F1

A link to a few of my photos I took when I went to Williams F1 head quarters last week. All handheld with no flash and around 800 ISO at F2.8. Part of me wants to upgrade to a new body with higher ISO capability but I do like using the one I have??

Really well taken shots Mark, not jealous one little bit that you got to go round the Williams HQ
I didn't check the exif data if it was on the shots, what Lens did you use out of interest?

I use a 1d MK 2N and I was using a 24-70L f2.8 lens. I use this as my general walkabout lens and love it but could do with something a bit wider to be honest I went as a guest of Hyundai but I'm certain they do museum tours Jeff

Might have to check that out Mark, cheers for the info
Maybe the 17-40L would be worth a look.

I've looked at the 17-40L before Jeff but never used one. It seems a very popular lens but is it wide enough?

What excellent photos. Your equipment seems perfectly fine and pro spec to me. I would of been delighted with your results. I cannot imagine the latest Canon pro spec gear improving on your results....
