Hmm any way to edit titles? :)

I took care of it for you.

Nice photos. I like the panning shots. I've never shot racing, but I think that my first attempt at panning would suck.

Hmm thats not me. I dont see myself in the images. I had on a black and grey tight pattern shirt with with one of the large Lowepro photo belts with attachments etc.

I wonder if any other forum members were their today.

You got close enough to Danica...that's good enough for me.

Nice Pans too..

They look very clear and sharp and that panning shot is very nice. Great job.
What kind of shutter speeds were you using for the panning?

: #2 is the best one of the bunch.. just can't put my finger on why

Thanks glad every one lines the shots. Its hard to tell how they are going to turn out the first time you do something. For the panning shots I think I used about 1/500 for the best ones.

Nice shots! You did terrific considering the very harsh light. I was out there yesterday and will be today as well.

The cars to watch are #6 (Sam Hornish Jr), #16 (Danica) and #26 (Marco Andretti). Also #51 (Eddie Cheever Jr) but not for good reasons.

Hope to see some fellow shooters in the pits today!

How do you get to the pits???

sulla · 06-09-2006, 10:59 AM

Thanks glad you like them. Looked at your site you seem to know what you are talking about.

I would look for you today but I am going to the Oscar De La Hoya Boxing event in downtown Fort Worth.

To get into the pits you can either buy a pit pass that will get you to the blue line directly behind the racers or get media credentials and you can go just about anyplace.
