Nice shots!

I am so in love with the Audi R8/R10, one of my favorite of the newer sports cars in the last 20 years.

Thank you! The R8 V10's had the crispest, prettiest engine notes all weekend. Although the Supercars made some pretty spectacular noises as well.

Here's a handful from Friday's pit walk:

More exciting news: some of these photos will appear in a story soon on Speedhunters.com! If you follow the site, keep an eye out for it!

Those are awesome..

All the shots are great, my favorite is probably the photo of that rim. I feel like it should be the cover for a Forza or Gran Turismo game.

 

[R3d]

Thanks guys!

That set of wheels was quite striking. They were sitting outside the Pirelli tent, either cast aside or awaiting new shoes and very badly banged up.

How do you keep the crisp focus up with the cars as they're panning so fast? AI Servo couldn't keep up with that?

 

[onehundredoctane]

Saw your images on Speedhunters then came to comment and saw you already posted a link lol

Great work!!!!!!!!

 

[o hey tyler]

Did they pay you to put that hashtag on your photos? I sure hope they did.

Practice practice practice! And tons of burst shooting. At the end of the day there are a lot of photos that are just unusable.

Thanks octane!

They didn't. But it's great exposure for me, and something that will look very good on my resume. It's not easy to get a full guest feature on that site!

I'll second that, being able to put Speedhunters on a resume in the world of automotive photojournalism, that's up there imo.
