I have an RC car that looks exactly like that Audi. Great pics.

 

[Wadula]

toolfan? than it was you who was kicking the porsches ass??

tom, thanks for the compliment. i love those pics. actualy i did it for trial and as it seems the camera could take it

 

[Jax_E21]

i like the use of the held light exposure. what kind of camera are you using....im assuming its digital.

 

[Wadula]

nope, it was a manual focus mirror reflex camera (is that the correct word???) not digital.

 

[frolf]

those are sweet pics!!!!

 

[Militant-Grunt]

Wow really nice pictures, thats the 24 hour race?

 

[Wadula]

yes that is exactly what it is. it was an amazing day. and night i have to add

there was a porsche, the one predicted to be the winner. a 750 hp monster of a 911. couldn´t keep up with the bimmers due to technical problems and problems with the rain. man, that was a monster!

Very impressive. I still prefer the single lens reflex camera over digital for creative pictures. That bottom picture look like a tough one, you got the light through the whole scene, never been able to get that myself without completely losing focus everywhere else.

 

[Wadula]

it was taken with a 135mm zoom. the camera was placed on a mount to prevent shaking, and still the pic is not perfectly sharp. but it was really funny.

the top one was easier. a 28mm wide lense. also mounted but as it is not that focused the sharpness is way better.

single lens reflex camera....that´s what it is called? good to know.

The MINI's look like little toy cars from that view.

a BMW M3 race car was at IrvineBMW for a couple of weeks around January, looked real sweet and got to sit in it, love those race seats
