Well when viewed at 100 on my monitor, it looks awesome I would NOT try to pump more color out of them (especially JPG) Did you not shoot in raw for size? really nothing to be gained here imo. Dude, testiment to the 7D (and your settings of course)

Thanks! I am still VERY new at this, so the camera is definitely the superstar in most of this equation I have been shooting all in manual, just to get the feel of things. Mostly space, but if I go to Indy in 2 weeks, I will try shooting in RAW format this time.

Nope, just me. I thought his pic of Dungey was stellar!

So are you in the stands anaxdlere? and are you using a 7D?

Yep! Right at the front row of the stands. Shooting with a 7D and the 70-200L IS. No flash, so adjusting for all those dang flourescents was a pain in the arse! I took several shots from the finish line side, but the glare was just ridiculous, so moved over to the other side of the stadium to catch them coming down from the straight then onto the rythm sections.
I liked how this corner got you great visibility on where they were looking (plus the red tuff blocks reflecting in his visor)

Nice photos from St.Louis SX all...

Sorta got done editing all my stuff, been working like an idiot a couple more of my favorites from the other lenses

50 1.4

haha no :P I always shoot in raw and was using a speedlite all night. That track was bright as hell, Im going to be spoiled when I go back to arenacross next season.

The damn spotlight guy was a noob and screwed up a couple of my opening ceremonies shots, but I really liked this one.

That was a good corner, I was over there for practice and got some great stuff shooting indoor is so hard, you did great!

Great St.Louis pic guys.
Never did any SX shooting. Hope I will some day.

My 70-200 2.8 is stuck to my 7d.
But if I can get closer then I'll have to mix it up with something wider.

I love the shot of Ben and my sticker! Thanks! To bad he ate it bad and was done for the night, he was riding well too! I hear he may have broken his hand that would suck!
