Nitro Night

[Rick50]

Photo's taken in Escondido, CA (just no. of San Diego). They ran old school nitro dragsters down the street pushing then with pickups. Lots of people and a bit of fun. I used my Canon 5D, Mark III and a Tamron 90mm Macro lens. I used it as I am planning on getting the Sigma 85mm 1.4 and wanted to check the focal length for this type of photography.

I think they pumped raw fuel into this guys headers

I can catch him

Well thats something you dont see every day... Nice. I particularly like the flames in the first one, the red car makes them pop

Fun shots!

Methinks the FL is too long for this application.

Thanks everyone.
Yes Ron, a tad. Probably 50mm as I was pretty close.
But I also like the uptight shots.
