Wow! These are great shots, and I love the subject too... What lens did you use for these? Just curious. Super color and contrast.

Smoking pictures

- Did any of them have colored smoke ? There is some kind of paint you can put on the tires to have the smoke colored (saw it on Pimp my Ride once). Great series.

Holy smoke! I like this series, specially when the images include the crowd!

I do believe that it is available on OZ but didn't see anyone using them

The crowd coped a lungful of rubber cloud

mind you it was a cloudless day but after a series of long burnouts huge clouds began to form

cheers

Great shots! I'm jealous of the weather you guys have down there. BTW, I want that white 4-door Chevy...

Great shots, might be able to make it next year as my son is moving to canberra

Just read that the organiser got fined for speeding, looks like the cops changed the speed limit in that street.

Interesting.
Great series especially for car fans!

There was a group of guys from Brisbane down here yesterday as part of a buck's party wild but tame as well great party mode

cheers

I'm confused there Ivan, you take great shots of cars doing burnouts, your FIL is retired mafia.

Do the Summer Nats crew and the father in law know about your fabulous flower photography habit?

roentarre · 01-03-2009, 12:58 AM

Truely a stunning series here! Great shots.
