Baby Blue Ferrari 458 Italia

Tailgunner · Oct 6, 2013

This weekend was awesome, I was part of a Photography group that got invited by the area Ferrari Club (FCA) for a club/track meet. It was simply rad!

Anyhow, my favorite, the Ferrari 458 Italia...I even love the color :mrgreen: This car was just begging to be photographed! The body lines just flows, very silky smooth. I really had to fight off the urge to beg the owner for a ride lol

Thanks for the invite FCA!

Nice -- I've never seen one that color. Did you try any panning shots? I'd love to see those big Brembo calipers when the spokes disappear.

Nice shots! Nice to see it in a different color than red. Really like the baby blue on it.

I was trying hard to pan but couldn't quite figure it out.

This was my first rodeo so to say and my first time out with my new 70-200MM 2.8 VRII. Its going to take some practice for sure but that is cool, it was lots fun.

It was a overcast day...even sprinkled. I started shooting @ ISO 200 but switched to ISO 400. Shutter ranged from 1/150-400 and focal length around 200mm on the track and 17-35mm off the track.

Glass used: Nikon 17-50mm 2.8 & Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VRII
Camera: D7100
