Got out to the track to shoot a drift practice day on Saturday. Was a good day, plenty of action! Weather was all over the place, drizzle when I got there, then sun, then clouds, then pouring rain, then sun... Thankfully I had my Pentax Rain Cover to protect my gear.

During the day I really experimented with slow shutter speeds, long focal lengths and serious panning. Even got a couple of shots sharp at 500mm with 1/60 shutter .

The K10D kicked over 10,000 shots and is already 1500 into the next 10,000. I bought it in the first week of June this year, so it gets a workout!

Anyhow, on with the pictures! The first couple will give an idea of how wet it was at times. EXIF at the top of each image. All shots in-camera JPEG, SR off, Tv mode.
