Offloading 16gb of images from today right now .. I had to head out early, the sun was kicking my butt.

Pheewww... The race is finally over... The past 3 days have really been a jam packed weekend of shooting.... All in all I had a blast shooting the event... I learned a lot and I think I improved as a photographer in the process since there were certain things I wanted to try that I had no experience doing and I kept at it until I got it right...

Panning for instance..

Canon EOS-1D Mark II N
Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS
1/60 sec
f 16
98 mm
ISO 200
Shutter Priority
Meter Mode: Multi-Segment

Awesome! ALMS is my favorite racing series. I can't see the hood, but that looks like the Risi Ferrari that's been kickin' serious butt since the season started. Great photo and go Risi!!
