Pacific Raceways (SIR) track day 10-14-2006

...and that's that!

Sorry about posting thumbnails, but I know from experience that 5-6MB of 800ish X 600ish images will crash a browser.

;)

ok....what type of camera is that?! Everything you do is too sexy with that thing.

It's a digital SLR. If you want to take pictures like this, it's almost mandatory to have one.

...and thanks! :bigtu:

Nah. You should keep it and get a dSLR as well. :bigtu:

I actually wouldn't mind having a tiny camera. Much more convenient and doesn't attract as much attention. It would be great for impromptu snapshots and such.

As it is, the camera and lens I was using on Saturday weigh in at 6 pounds or so. Not for the faint of heart. :ugh2:

what type is it? I've used a digital Canon Rebel 10MP without your results. I'm used to SLRs, had a Nikon A90 before I went digital.

Yeah, tiny cameras are great for point and shoot and lugging them around.

In fact, I'm not 100% happy with many of the pictures I posted in this thread. However, it was also the first time I've ever tried to shoot motorsports. I'm sure I'll do better next time. :bigtu:

BTW, I've played around with that new Rebel at a local store. Doesn't the shutter sound bizarre on that thing? Almost sounds like a laser gun sound effect. :D

Beautiful pics as always. I get more and more anxious to be back in Washington with every shot you post.

Sorry guys. I didn't realize I had my Flickr account set to disallow large images.

Now when you click on an image, you can select "All sizes" and see the larger versions.

:thup:

Are you willing to send me some of the fullsize pics? I want to use em for my background
Specifically this one...

nice pics dv/dt. Are you shooting full manual? The pics with the car coming or going are hardest to shoot when using a slower shutter speed to get some motion in the wheels. You've got some in there. A good lens helps. What are you using? Did you add the vignetting? btw- that looks like a fun track, have you driven it? - rob
