This one is the pick of a great bunch - for me has that something else - the lines, the colours, the speed:

Me like number 3, if it was cropped closer to the car itself to show off the bright red brake pads that would be a winner

Nice work Jim. I like #3 myself. The ferris wheel, the glowing brake rotors, speed blur. Got it just right. If you had to crop it, then perhaps a little off the bottom and the left. Just don't lose the ferris wheels. When I get more time I'll be checking out the gallery.


Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.
I have a Cannon with me at all times. You can't take the shot if you don't have something with which to shoot. :rolleyes:

And so it begins. I can't wait for March when it all starts again properly here :)

I really like the Night shots, it's something i want to have a real go at this year, so i'm planning to go to the Nurburgring for the 24 Hours there.

Looks good. Honestly, after looking at these and the gallery, I prefer the non-panned shots better. I much rather sharp non-panned that still show speed like your first on here. The ferris wheel shot is very cool too. Gives me some ideas for Le Mans this year.

Thanks to all.

Skip and boboy, I agree it could use a little cropping in number three to really do the photo right. At this point they were just batched as is in order to send them to the website. I know, I should take good care of all the images, but sometimes you just dont feel like editing that many individual photos. Were I doing it for a print or for a publication, etc, I would crop it down a bit and bring it tighter, as I probably would have for a couple of the others as well.

Mark, some of the shots have excessive panning blur and lose some sharpness in the car, though all of them have at least some portion of the car sharp. Daytona is such a horribly ugly backdrop for shots and has no elevation changes or pretty backgrounds that I was trying different things to really make the most of what was available. Many of the pans are in the 1/80 and many are even down to 1/40 shutter speeds in order to completely blow out the background and try to make the cars look fast. The result is some parts of the car not perfectly sharp due to the 3 dimensional movements of the cars There isnt a right answer, its just what folks like, for me it was what I was after as pans in the 1/160-1/125 area just didnt give me a good feel about the photos most of the time.

Thanks for the comments.
