Ok race fans I hope your ready for many cars shooting by a blurred background because there is going to be quite a few to come. This little Cooper Mini was one of the fastest cars in it's class. This shot was taken just entering into turn three at Summit point raceway.

PP:Increased levels, color, contrast sharpened and saved for Treklens.

You have done a very nice background with the 'fill in' technique. The car is well sharp
Bravo!

This brings back nostalgic feelings, Dennis... my first car was a black mini 850. It didn't have the wide wheels and the add-on wheel cases like this cooper, but it sure gave its own definition to the word driving ;o). I like this type better than the new Mini's made by BMW. Nice job on panning along. TFS.

Hello Dennis.

You have already an addicted fan.
Great first shot. I am looking forward the next ones.
Well captured and nice postwork too.
Cheers!
Robert

Another nice catch Dennis, I love those Minis, the real ones, the sixties one! Picture is very clear, good timing again!
Best regards
Guy

And they are fast ! !
My first car was such a tiny Mini, but how wonderful it was. Here's a nice speed in the picture !

very interesting, to show speed with the mini. I have always love the mini, but seeing it in fast action here is really something totally different. well done for a good capture.

My favourite car, I've had a couple so far and would like to build up another using a KAD 16 valve head. Not so sure about the wide arch kit so or ruins the purity of the original design.

Enough about the car, the phots is very good, I like the panning, it's something I've only tried recently.

Nice capture. You caught the speed, just enough blurr. Bill

Nicely focused on the mini. Congrats.

This is the kind of shot I'm trying to achieve.
Vary nice work !

cheers
Greg
