This was the other race I covered this weekend prior to heading up to Lime Rock.

#3 & #4 are excellent. I've always liked those type of shots.
Thanks for sharing.:)

Just an fyi, the race started at 7pm and the light was just ugly. No twilight... no color... just gray flat nothing-ness. Sadly, it didn't even get that dark. Hence, most of this stuff is from practice. Though, I rarely differentiate race or practice unless a client needs something race-specific.

Nice looking shots.

Don't forget to clean your sensor, it'll save you a lot of time in PS clean up work. ;)

Yeah... because everyone admires a clean sensor.

Lose the obsession with clean sensors. I clean mine before leaving for a trip. I sometimes change lenses trackside. I shoot 4000 images a weekend. My pan shot shutter speeds tend to push the apertures anywhere from f/22 - f/32 .... shoot like that and you'll see every subtle mark.

Clean your sensor... sure. But... get over it. If any of these images are required for a final print or client use, they'll be spot free. It's not that big of a deal.

I was polite the first time, let me expand now. Your posted dirty sensor images distract from your image quality, which is unfortunate because I like your technique and shots.

As for shooting 4000 images in a weekend and low shutter speeds, we are in the same boat. Check out some of my untouched pans (dust cleaning wise at least) from the post I just made.

All it takes is a good blower before a session to save yourself a lot of extra work.

Seems a lot of people on this board have a problem with the slightest bit of advice, as if we're all too good to hear from another photog, even one who saids it nicely. What's the point of this board than? Just to get egos rubbed a bit and go on are spunking ways. You posted dirty photos, I'm sorry I noticed...geez.

#4 is nice, I like those slow speed pans (sometimes)

Though you didn't "rub my ego"... thank you for your advice.:rolleyes:
