There is not much that can be said about John's work that hasn't been said before by much wiser men than myself.

However I will say that it takes a very skilled photographer to shoot directly into the sun and make such emotional images at a motorsports event.

Thank you for sharing these great images with us here.

[Cozmocha]

Good stuff.

[L.J.G.]

Wow, that is great stuff, it just doesn't get any better than that!

[Nick S]

Phenomenal shots!

[apexman]

Thanks for posting these great shots! I miss going to Sebring every year.

[Stuuk1]

Wow!

I am a complete amateur and can only dream of taking pictures like these... 1,2,3 are just fantastic.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Simply FLAWLESS work, John!

#1 and 3 are absolutely awesome. Great work! :cool:

[TustinMike]

oh wow ! I have a feeling you've done this before :)

So good - I love the light you've captured - and of course the cars !

[BAD SS]

Killed it with the Audi one-two.

[rixxir]

Im new to the forum, I was at Sebring with my 1st DSLR T3i and met a pro named Corey. He showed me a couple of settings for panning and I have a few shots to post tomorrow. Can't wait

[FlyingPhotog]

You sir, are the master...

Brilliant set John!

[Ando27]

Great great shots ....

Especailly like the sunset/night shots...

Mind you from some angles those Audis look a bit strange & ungainly.,.......I think its the 3/4 front view, may be because of the large tires on the front they look a bit "bulldog..ish",...but hey they're ace cars what ever it takes to go fast....

[TRhoads]

quality work John, very nice to see some new motorsports stuff after the winter break.

[Bosscat]

Maybe you need a nickname like say perhaps....JT Money...you can spell it like JT$

[silvex]

You've got backlit shots down to an art...

[GAZA62]

[pappawheely]

John, Were you using any fill flash in #5 or was that with available light? Fantstic shot.

[John Thawley]

No... never even took a flash out. Too invasive ....

If you click on the image it will spawn a new window with my Flickr account. In the right corner of the Flickr page for each image, you'll see the Camera make. If you click on that you'll get the EXIF.

Thanks John.

[Blitz]

The first shot is spectacular. Probably asking a lot but if you could share it in desktop size (1920x1080) I would be much obliged.

[Coops]

Just buy it off the man, it is after all how we photographers make a living. Support our own I say
