Wow you have some incredible photos there! I'm surprised you don't have any comments yet, but maybe it was accidently missed?

Anyway, I really like the photos with the motion blur...the colors are so crisp and the image sharp! Nice work and they actually make me feel I'm "there" (especially the photos with smoke exhaust).

The last one shows your great creative eye. :)

[gaza]

Love the pic of the beamer, just what I need on mine!

[Dave_G]

good work considering the kit lens!

BMW needs a bigger engine and supercharger though

starlet with the front wheels up in the air is crazy

[ringkingpin]

Haha, OMG, good call on the starlet! I passed by it and then read your comment. I used to have an '82 red starlet in college about 12 years ago. Funny little rear wheel drive car!
Nice pics, especially working with the kit lens!

The last one's my favourite.

From the thread title I expected to see men dressed in womens clothing running round a track:D :D

[BruceC]

Thanks eveyone! That means a lot to me. Like that starlet? Let me get the next frame for ya.

[BruceC]

as you can see it was moving too fast for my 2.5 fps to keep it in frame for more then one shoot. It was a wild being only about 5 feet away from it.

[BruceC]

thanks tjburns

[PhotosGuy]

Those are nice shots!

[BruceC]

thanks PhotosGuy. That means a lot comming from you.

[forsaken]

nice photos. I just wish we could get that close at our local track.

[BruceC]

thanks! yeah it's cool how close I could get. wow old thread.

[johnnybfan]

I like the 340 dustmop. :)

[KaplanMultimedia]

Wow, just got a look at these. Excellent images. That poor old kit-lens looks mighty sharp to me. :D

That's sweet...

[Bass Ackwards]

Nice photos, and just the boost the kit lens needs...its not such a bad lens when used within its abilities. And damn what a waste of a seriously over built motor in the damn beamer...lol

[BruceC]

thanks again all! The ones on my web site are mixed with newer shots I took with the sigma 55-200.

[bgasbear]

nice pics

[surfologist]

to bring an old thread back o life......
great pics, for a kit lens, these are not bad, not bad at all!!!

I love the panning he did.
and the freakin souped up BMW!!!!!! (5 series i think too!)

[BruceC]

WOW! I never thought I would see this thread again! Almost a year old.

[ZekaG]

Awesome shots.
You got some talent.

[surfologist]

For a kit lens too...

I had never seen this thread, but someone resurrected it, and i was thouroughly impressed with his pics...!!!!!!
Hopefully i can get some good ones like this soon!!

[Dean Humphrey]

great shots, my fav are the panning speed shots, great job.
