First time really trying to take pics, I don't think I did that bad.

That last shot is awesome hehehe

layout any different?

It's a little different. The double by the building on the far left side of the track was taken out. ( still the take off there, but no landing)



Matt, if you want the original it is being uploaded into my photobucket now. It will probably resize it, if you want the original LMK and I'll E-Mail it.

I'll just gank it from whereever sometime.

I dont know what kind of camera you have, Or if you can adjust it, but a faster shutter speed would clear up the blur a little bit.

I believe he is working on it yesterday and today.

I added clay to the back and front straight Tuesday. Hope to get more done today.

Are you focusing on one point on the track, or are you following the car with the camera?

Following the car.

cool pics man....

I'm not sure if thats all your pics or not but most guys take a bazillion pics and only post the good, clear ones. So they may take 400 pics and post like 10 because that's what came out clear and such.

i went also and we took about 50 a piece. a lot were blurry from trying different settings

It was pretty overcast yesterday also, wasn't it? That never helps for good pictures.

a few tips to get them not blurred....

shutter needs to be 600-1200, if you have a shutter priority (TV) try that.

if you have a sports mode that might work too, i dont like it on mine as it adds noise in the pic since that mode jacks up the ISO high...

pre focus on a spot where your gonna take the shot like on a jump or corner, 1/2 press the button and hold it... then follow the car till it gets into the area you pre focused. finish pressing the button and bam.

also you need to remember to pan with the car, that way the back ground is blurred and not the subject.

Thanks Slim. I'm gonna have to try the shutter speed. I do the focus (half way thing) then follow the car.


Thanks for the comments everyone.
