Just got back from a week at Darlington for a Nascar race adn family visit. Way too many photos. I'll post 'em up as I get ones processed I like.

Here's a couple

All were shot from the stands where our seats were either using a 70-200 f/2.8 or a 100-400 f/4.5 (or whatever it is) The IS on the 100-400 was messed up, so I think I did well on the shots in turns 3-4 handheld at 400mm with no IS. quite proud.

Some of these are long skinnys 'cause I was editing them for my facebook cover profile thingy, lol. I have not uploaded full size images yet.

this ones not as sharp...I have better in here somehwere, just gotta get to it. lol

Here is me in a simulator, lol. My daughter is 13, she took a few images of me, Did a pretty decent job. I set up camera for her obviously, but she still had to hold a gripped 7d with a 70-200 lens...which if you have used one...you know its not light; and frame up a decent shot. maybe a mini photog in the making.

Here is some she shot of me while I was playing a football throw though the hole game. I shot her first and left the same settings on it. but she had to zoom and walk around and stuff and frame it up on her own. minimal cropping on them. she did good.

...and if anyone is wondering what is in my pocket...its my 17-50 f/2.8 lens lolol just noticed that my pants are hanging down at the cargo pocket. lol

and yeah, she missed focus on a few and hit the football instead of my face. I gave her a lesson in recomposing after locking focus, and grounded her.

I think she learned her lesson.

any race fans?

I thinks it's dark blue, but that's Jeff Gordon's car.

You bet, but more as a driver than as a spectator, and more oriented to IndyCar/F1, road racing than stock cars or even sports cars.

Still those are some decent images.

First car is Jeff Gordon as keith mentinoed. I think its a very very dark blue if not black. Dad said he went back to his old colors...used to be a lighter blue recently

the driver is the chick, thats danica patrick I picked her as my favorite because she is the only one with a vagina, and she's cute. and i like her car colors

my 13 yr old daughter took the shots of me

Since I remember myself I was always a gearhead, I loved cars, love cars and probably always will love cars.
I love mechanical stuff and there really is nothing more mechanical like a car.
I love driving them of course, controling these heavy beasts is so much fun...................but I never got car racing!!!

I see a bunch of people running in cyrcles and I dont get it, hey if I would be doing the driving then thats one thing but how can I enjoy a race if I am not the one driving ?
The driver gets to sense all the thrill of driving and compatiton while I sit at home in front of the TV and eat popcorn.
I personaly dont enjoy a good race, wish I did but I dont

I've shot a few races: Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, Rolex 24 at Daytona, some races at Mosport in Canada and Portland Int'l Raceway.

My favorite is, without question, Daytona...
