Number two is my favorite shot. A nice panning shot with a slow enough shutter speed to give a sense of how fast he is going.

In shot number one, are both tires off the ground while he is in a corner? Yikes, how does that work!?

The colors are wonderful.

Thanks for posting these... KT

all of these photos are just awesome! I think I like the 1st one best only because the wheels are off the ground! these are such stunning and pro phtoos...what setup do you use and are the photos panned or pre focus?

Thanks Kim,

I use a 1D Mark II N, with a 70-200 2.8 IS. I need some longer glass, but as a hobbyist the cost of the fast tele's don't fit in the budget considering the lack of use would generally give them.

I believe all but one of these photos were taken at very high shutter speeds. The one that is panned is pretty obvious, but was still shot at about 200th of a second. Because of the high shutter speeds I was able to concentrate on other things such as focus.

These were all auto focused normally. I generally only use prefocusing if I sense a problem, and here I didn't have that issue. Prefocusing is a great tool, however, I just wanted to be ready for other opportunities because things happen so fast.
 
Tazz,

Great work! You really have a grip on panning. have you tried selling these to the riders? If not, I'd be surprised if they didn't sell. That would allow you to up your budget and get a TC or longer lens.

Did you shoot from general admission areas or did you have a press pass?

Again, nice work,
Taz

Thanks, No I've never tried to sell the shots. Would consider it though. And yes these were shot from the general admission areas, being it was a general admission infield there were a decent amount of locations to shot from.
 
Nice shots! You are in my neck o' the woods. I'm too far north of the speedway (about 7 miles) to hear any of the events though. :o)
