I was playing around with the early morning sun and doing some slow shutter speed panning when I caught this. I wish I had a higher shutter speed selected for this sequence, but hay, that is life. Better than nothing.

1 just a smidge too wide

Mark,

Great catch, have spent much of the weekend watching the race. Great shame the Mazda did not make the race as it is a great looking car.

Regards

Tim

I think the slow shutter speed adds to it. Good work.

Very well caught, and yes the shutter speed shows how fast he crashed.

Who binned it again, Devlin or Bonilla?

4 is nice and sharp. Shame about the back-light.

a couple of cameras + eyes that are starting to open + boatloads of patience

I like the slower shutter speed, it really helps you see how fast he was gonna hit that wall. 1, 4, and 6 are my favorites!
