Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
I know there are fans of all sorts of motor-sports out there and I know that you all have some great shots so I thought we could share them all around. I have not had much chance to do this kind of shooting, though I think it is a blast. Here are a couple of my shots.
San Jose, California Grand Prix. Panasonic FZ-7 32mm F/4 1/80 ISO 100

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Awesome images indeed, but I would have to say that the 'Wempe' Ferrari is my favourite.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Wow! These are really cool! I love the shot of 49 Keith B. And mattsartin I really like those two cars. I am a huge fan of classics and hot rods in their element are really cool. Mark, the two shots there are amazing. I want to see that kind of racing some time. Would rock my world. Even cooler would be to be able to own and race one of those cars!
Keep up the good work,
Samuel

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
It is an F430 but not sure if it's exactly the same car, there are a couple of minor cosmetic differences between the two. There are 2 additional sponsor stickers, 1 on the bottom of the door and 1 by the side air intake. Also, the chrome square on the rear of first car extends into the rear bumper, and on the second it ends right at the bumper. It's definitely the same team and driver (James Henley from LA).
When was your picture taken?

I have to confess I find motor cars and motor sports crushingly boring, but my son does not feel this way. Here's one of him in a go-cart.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
2slo, Love the shot of the buggy. What event was that?
Bill W, Love the vintage F1 and the Porsches. My dad remembers seeing the F1 cars when they were racing originally. :P
Mark and Itheone, Great F430 shots.
Also Itheone, the Motorcycles are great! And how about that Caterham!

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Feeling old, I bought my first SLR ( Canon AE-1 ) to take pictures of the 1970's F-1 cars. I have since check the pictures from the digital 10Mpix rebel against the film pictures, and I think the Digitals are better.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Its a new series taking the extreme off roadersby storm. King of the Hammers started whats turned into an Ultra 4400 series rock/desert race class. Google KOH forlots ofaction packed pictures and youtube videos.
My picts are from flat sections and are boring, we were supporting these tworigs. Quite a bit of the course getsrocky, vertical climbs and falls, and narrow. So if a rig breaks and blocks the course, its not unusual for another one to drive right over it. Its just part of the sport.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
2slo, That is some crazy driving there. Where were you when you took these pictures? Also, since this is a photography forum, what equipment were you using and what was the speed etc?
Keep them coming, I love this thread!

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
This series of photos was taken during the Malaysia Super Series Round 5 at Sepang International Circuit 6th, December 2009.
Canon Malaysia invited 50 amateur photographers to come in andexperiencea day in the life of a professional race photographer. We were allowed inside of the F1 track and taste the exhilaration of thelifestyle. One that will remain in my memory forever.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Wow Justin, those shots are really cool. I would love to be given the opportunity to do something like that. I hope you have the opportunity again! Hey, it would be cool to know the stats on the shots and what equipment you used.
2slo, another great shot along with gunslinge!
Mattsartin, love that snowmobiler shot!

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Here are a few of mine. My commercial work is almost entirely indoors, but I do enjoy shooting a bit of sports for fun.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Sydney,
It looks like your shots are being cropped on the right by the posting software. Make sure that you specify the width of your image as no more than 800. That should fix it.

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
wow, awesome photos. you guys sure set the bar pretty high.

Yeah, I noticed that. The photos were cropped to 900 x 600, which is apparently too wide.
Can anyone tell me if I can edit the original post to replace the chopped photos or even delete it and re-post?

Re: Post Your Best Motor-sport Photos
Where it says (Reply) (More) on your post, click on the (more) button. Click edit when the more options appear. On occasion the option doesn't work (had it happen to me, and I've seen others mention it), but usually it's fine.
