Great series! Kept me entertained. The white nismo is great, especially the one where the riders have their hands up in the air

Wow, a great set, I love the crash sets

You really do a wonderful job of capturing those.
I just finished another event yesterday...there was a guy out there with me with a ~$8000 canon setup that kind of snubbed me when he saw me with a K100D.....I'll be interested to see his shots

Keep up the great work

Wonderful series. Captures the flavor of racing perfectly - I can almost smell the rubber burning. Great job - wish I could pan like you did in the first two.

I'm not in the habit of paying out on other peoples work, and this isn't my intention now. This guy shoots with thousands and thousands of Canon gear and is raved over and to be honest the results don't really impress me. His static stuff is great, but panning is a bit off. That being said, we all have off-days, I know I do!

Ya I agree with you, the static shots are great, but the panning shots it looks as though they were either by accident or just not having a great day...like me on sunday (NOT my best work by any means)

The amount of money you have into your gear isn't everything if you can't use it(I'm not say that this paticular guy does, but I have seen guys out with 10k in equipment and not knowing how to use it). I love my k100d and my $300 lense...not the best combo but it has served me very well and I have learned the technique to get the effect I want.
