Las Vegas UAW 400

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday's race. Let me know what you think. I used a 100-400 m Canon lense with the XT body. This is the first time I tried a lense like this.

Any comments?

Nice pan shot. You can't get too creative when the cars just drive around in circles. I like to watch NASCAR, but for photography, road racing, like ALMS is much better.

I agree. I started going to ALMS races just for the photo opportunities, now I've turned into a huge fan of the series.

Nice panning on #1. I also use primarily the 100-400 at races. Love that lens.

Nice! Must be nice to get that access to the race.

Nice action shot of the pit crew.

And you say you can't get creative and try different stuff?

Sorry, but how is that creative. Two cars, boring, in the center of the frame, no room on the right side of the pic, I would have liked the first car sharp, and the following blurred.

#1 and 4 are really great, good panning and and nice look from the pit-crew in action.
Very well done :)
