bad ass pics

 

AWESOME! thank you

 

Awesome pictures!

<3 ALMS, I hope all those cars make it to the St. Pete GP.

 

Awesome pictures. i watched most of it and its amazing how quiet the Audi and Peugeot Bi-Turbo Diesels are. I like those final pics of the braking zone were you can see how much front brake they were using.

 

Sebring was so much fun! I took a good amount of video and will put together a little vid. I took a lot of pics to but they all came out horrible. I was there on fri and sat. I left on fri when it started raining but stayed the whole day sat. Cant wait for next year. Ill be going to st.pete also.

 

Damn Dude Badass!

 

I think the Viper competition coupe could very well be the best-looking race car ever.

 

Great pics, I like the glowing orange rotors. Where can I get those for my car

Seriously, great pictures, repped.

 

2 things you need to take good pictures of race cars

1: MANUAL FOCUS. This is important, AF can't keep up with the cars. Focus the camera on the track where you want to snap the picture.

2: Pan the camera with the car. After focusing and holding the button halfway to lock the exposure, follow the car and just before the spot you want to take the picture, press the shutte button the rest of the way. Think golf---follow through.

I've taken enough pictures at Sebring to know what settings to use on my camera, and where the good pic spots are. This year was my 6th year there. I've taken almost 6000 race car pictures over the years.
