[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These guys were the fastest cars of the day, they were the last to race. There is a bit more blur because they are going much faster. Taken on a very cold windy day at Summit point raceway.

PP: Cropped adjusted levels and bumped up the color on the red white and blue, sharpened and resized for TL.

I never got the chance to take a racing sports photo but I can understand the difficulties in taking a good one. The whole image is a bit too blur but nice effort. I wonder I can take half as good as you :)

Good action shot Dennis. Damn he must have been flying! I wonder if you had backed off the f18 to say, f11 if you could have gotten more clarity? I don't know anything about shooting fast moving cars!!! regards, B

Excelent shot.
I think the 1/50 is meant to be 1/500 right?
I'm not sure of the day, you needed a faster speed, 1/2000.
Excelent work though. That car sure was going fast.

Very good Dennis (the car is a little bit too blur, but can be nice for speed feeling)
It's very very difficult to do this. You have to get the right shutter speed, deepending on the car speed itself. not Easy !
You seem to be a master in this ;o)
Bravo

Great speed shot, Dennis. The blur is sometimes necessary to give a good impression of the actual speed. I won't put this into the F1 theme since it's not one, but I'm tempted. I wonder what size engine this thing had.

well, i wouldnt stand in the way of that daredevil!good shot, alot of blut, but the text on the car is still a little visible.good compo.well done!

Faster than the Mini:-))
The picture gives such a speed here, that you couldn't keep up with it, nice foreground too with the blurry tyres !
