Petit Le Mans 2009

Even though the race got rained out for the second half, there was still a great first half with no rain. 7th year in a row for me. Great shooting weather! :D

Here's just a few. C&C always welcome.

Excellent shots! Too bad they had to red flag it.

Sweet panning shots, Kramer! You got those spot on. Backgrounds are very clean. I like #2, #3, #5, and #6 the most.

Incredible panning work Kramer. Good shots all around.

[Kramer]

Thanks! Yeah, once I get in the groove of panning at a particular turn or spot on the track, it gets to be fairly easy. This race was a lot of fun to shoot though.

I would definitely agree with the rest, that your panning is pretty good! If you don't mind me asking, what settings were you using?

Awesome series.

Nice pics. I ordered Kata rain gear for my stuff last week with intensions of going. RA website say'd race rain or shine, but I know how RA is about that. Since they had flash flood warnings out for NE georgia and 90% chance of rain, i decided to cancel my trip down. I'm sure the rain gear works well in a light rain, but not a monsoon.

I shot all on ISO160-200, and all panning was done at 1/160 I believe.
