Truck Racing weekend - Lunch Break

[Tropicalmemories]

We were at a truck road racing meeting and it was raining, so I was using my weather resistant general purpose 18-135 zoom. Not an ideal lens for sports or portraits, but my only weatherproof lens.

So I know the results are not technically that good, but for a dull, rainy day I think they are OK?

One from an attempt at panning and one is a casual shot taken over lunch.

"So I know the results are not technically that good, but for a dull, rainy day I think they are OK?" ... well, I think #1 is very good actually, panning - especially with a mirrorless - is not that easy.

Thank you! I think the slower speed of the trucks compared to the cars helps.

Yes, they are fun to watch, especially as they don't handle well so you see some real driving

Here's another, plus the essential selfie ....

Nice pics.

Thank you!

Local road race events in Thailand are good for photo ops - though it's still the monsoon season so light was not ideal.

Sometimes things pretty good in a lower light. It's my belief that some things look much better in moonlight or candle light.

I've been told I look better in NO light!

Nice job panning.
