I really like the yellow one. Good job on the panning - I find it really hard to do! If I had a niggle it would be that the back of the car is cut off. The shots look really clear though. Which lens did you use? Well done and thanks for sharing.

Good stuff Tom, especially the last (bummer about the others being chopped off)! Are these from Mid-Ohio? I'd love to get over to your neck of the woods and shoot there one day. :)

Nice shots Tom, always good and you see so much colour at events like this.

Great light and colours. With those exotic machines it looks like a real life version of Playstations 2's Gran Turismo 4. I can't believe they were all at the same place.

Nice attempt with the panning. I'm not an expert on the technique, but as a consumer or viewer of the shots, it would have been nice to see the whole car in #1 and #2. #3 is great though.

Used a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 on a Nikon D70. Shot over 350 photos over 2 days.

Heres another of the 7 car.

Yes, all at the Mid Ohio track. Its only an hour and half from where I live and they put on some great races thru the year.
