GTC Class. Taken August 2015

Outstanding. Terrific panning (something I've never done well) and a wonderful composition, with the blurred curve of the track in the background. B&W was a super choice, as well.

Excellent photo, you nailed it.

Very dynamic shot!

I agree with the other comments, very well done!

I love Porsche 911. If I ever in my life win the lotttery, I'm picking up a GT3 RS. Cool photo and cool panning.

Thanks everyone! This was one of the few panning shots that turned out to my satisfaction from that race. I probably spent 2/3rds of the race doing panning shots... it is indeed difficult. I was using a monopod, but the keeper rate was definitely still low. I did get this printed, and it looks wonderful at 11x14. At full resolution you can actually read "PORSHE" on the brake calipers! Further pics from this race can be found here: Pirelli World Challenge - Album on Imgur Next year this team is fielding a car (Porsche 911 GT3) with a professional driver in the top class (GT) in the Pirelli World Challenge, in addition to this GTC Cup 911 with a gentleman driver/team owner. They race all around the US, so you might check and see if there is a race near you: Schedule - Pirelli World Challenge

Looking at your link I'd say you got more than a 'few' keepers. Panning is a challenge and you did well.

Do you travel with the team?

I wish! I'm just a fan - I shot all those from areas open to the public. I offered (via twitter) to be a stringer next year for a sportscar website that didn't have any photo coverage of that race weekend... hopefully something comes of that. Plus it would be a good excuse to rent a K-3 and a longer lens.

Awesome job on the panning and B&W!!
