mostly automotive - my photos

This is a bit unsharp, but I love the lighting in it too much to just throw it away.

Where were you on the track in constellation to the cars? Seems a little dangerous.

But you have sweet photos.

I got access to the whole track from the organizers, so I was infield - at a safe distance. Most of the pictures are shot at between 100-300mm and cropped. I also made sure to increase my distance from the track at points where people drove past with a lot of speed. And always kept myself oriented with where my camera bag was and where I could run to if someone lost control. I'm not getting paid for this, so its not worth risking anything at all for a good shot.

Drive it like you stole it...

You've got one badass thread going on here, Marius.

Post #395 is OUTSTANDING... the little bits of rubber in the air.. wow. Nice panning also.

 

[Santa Gertrudis]

Wow. Simply, wow.

There's not a single photo in this thread that I didn't like. Amazing work my friend.

Another vote for shot #395. Also just swionging by to say I love this thread. Cars are a passion of mine too and this thread is inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Not a fan of that last shot of the gold skyline, but everything else is magic.

Thank you for the feedback guys, I really appriciate it!

Visited BMW Car Club of Norway's spring meet today, just briefly. Didn't take a whole lot of pictures. Not the spring meet's fault, I was just beeing lazy, tired and lacked inspiration. Brought the sigma 12-24mm & nikkor 24-70 f2.8 mounted on individual d700 bodies (it's good to have 2 camera bodies again!)
