Leans in hoping to hear, "if you apex turn 10 right at this point you'll pick up an extra half a second!"

Nice shot.... being a car guy and racer as well I wish there was more of the car in the image. I knew by the racing suit and tire stamp that it was racing related but it was bothering me as to the height of the rear tire. (Obviously, it's off the ground but there's no visual to confirm that in the image.) Still a neat capture though. I knowit's tough to spot those moments with so much going on at the track.

Perfect capture of the moment. Oh the tales that fly between those two.

Great capture. For me your signature covering the shadow distracts me, but thats just my opinion.

Thanks, there was an ugly truck in the background that kinda looked ...ugly. I wanted to keep it out of the frame.

And I'd love to post photos without all the watermarks and crap, unfortuantely I've found quite a few of my photos online in other galleries with no mention of who took them. I've even seen a couple integrated into websites. I'll stop watermarking them when people stop stealing them.

I hear ya! It's happened to me many time. I used to shoot a lot of stuff and share with my car club. Unfortunatly there were a few, even when confronted and asked to remove them from their site, couldn't understand why in the world I wouldn't want the world to have my picture. One guy even edited the photos and put his own watermark on my pics! Sad part is, I don't share my photos with them anymore since the few spoiled it for the many.

If I find business sites that have used my pictures without permission, I'd simply send them an invoice with a choice to pay it or remove the photo. With the wonderful advent of EXIF data it'd be easy to prove the image is mine.
