i started to make comments about certain shots but there is too much good work, some seriously awesome captures in this thread, i also like that you keep appending to one thread

Thank you! It's nice to see that people enjoy my work enough to make them not just take one peek and never bother again Hopefully I'll get a lot more stuff to photograph in 2010, than 2009.

Visited a garage where they're building an all carbon supra with over 1000hk today. The guy building it wanted some pictures of the car before it's done. The plan is to follow up with pictures of the car when its done aswell, and from trackday events.

The car. All carbon, all sweet The engine is just a mockup.

This is gnarly! I cant wait to see more pictures of the supra! What engine are they gonna use do you know?

There was talk of around 1200hp, and I'm guessing it's a 2jz. They also have a genuine nissan silvia jgtc gt300 car that they want me to photograph - sweet!!!

Thank you. The engine in the car is just a mock up, so that's not the turbo etc they're going to use. I checked another picture I took, and it says "HKS T51R" on the turbine housing.

Here's the JGTC car:

Attended my first trackday for several years. And it's the first trackday I've photographed. Learned a lot about my equipment. First and foremost, I need to shoot everything in RAW as the D700 shifted between over exposing and under exposing at will A lot of shots were ruined, and I can't see why the metering behaved like it did. But no matter - there's so much that can be pulled out of the raw files so it really doesn't matter. I just have to shoot everything in raw next time. And maybe play around with the different metering modes a bit and not just blame the equipment

The only thing I didn't really care for was when the D700 locked up and flashed "ERR" in the display. Turned it off and on again, and it started working again - thank god.

I thought it was the T88

BURNWS6: Havn't got a clue myself. All I know is what it says on the housing

NICDUTCHER: Glad to hear that, thank you!

All the pictures from this trackday are shot with the nikon d700 and nikkor 70-300 VR lens, except for a few from the parking beside the track itself.
