Here are a few of my take on Laguna last weekend. I tried something a little different during the night practice and not go after the same sunset shot. Unfortunately, I got skunked due to a car going off right at the time I wanted to shoot where I was and having the session red flagged. Oh well, it happens. So went for the old faithful shot for the clients during the race.

Anyway, enjoy. The full gallery can be seen here. http://www.speedarena.​com …S/2007/13%20Lag​una%20Seca (external link)

WOW at number three and four! They would be awesome poster shots if there was just one car in the frame.

Cool... I didn't shoot this event this year but it is already on my schedule for next year. Very inspiring shots. How the GT series gets a little more interesting next year. Cheers.

Thanks. I can oblige you with the single shot of number 4.

Jim, these are great! It was good seeing you again at Laguna. I had fun with us chasing Levitt on the golf carts and getting sparks on the way back to the media center with Todd. My favorites are nos. 2, 6,7, and 8. My top favorite is the Krohn Racing F430 with the autumn leaves....a different shot and refreshing perspective.

Thanks guys. It was good to see you again to Stephen, we were doing our best Audi R10 impression with the sparks, I wonder if anyone got any photos, after all,whenever sparks are flying photographers tend to try to catch them. :D
