Some drag racing shots from Barona 1/8th mile

I kinda have been playing with same stuff in post, maybe going too far, i dunno. That is why I am posting a few of these. The last one obviously has the least post but, it still has a decent amount.

I shot these with my T1i and was missing my 50D a lot. Not for the features, but for the size! that little T1i is, well, little! My hand was kinda cramping up holding it. heh.

I really like the second picture. It's a nice sharp capture with loads of detail in the car itself, while the surroundings are not too distracting. I like the way the washed out colours set the mood for this event and it also make's the picture's look a little "old", and that is a good thing when the car itself isn't one of the newest looking (design of the car).

Great shots - I think the pp on them looks good. That first one, it looks like a Grandma driving the car. I've still never been to the Barona 1/8th - waiting for them to build a road course out there.

I love that first one , just something about it really appeals to me.
