Took an X-Pro2 and a couple of lenses to the TT in June this year, to catch some of the action.

 

Only had the 35 mm f2 and 50m f2 lenses. But the bikes can pass very close, and the idea was to get some of the location in the shots, otherwise it is just pictures of bikes that could be almost anywhere.

 

The other thing is to get photos of certain riders, and they do not come past very often. And because it is a staggered start race against the clock, the leader could be in position 5 on the road.

 

Overall I got my shots, but there were not hundreds of them. The biggest fail was the camera focused on some tall grass stalks that I did not even notice at the time, and a whole series of shots were wasted.

 

But it worked ok.

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
