Thanks for letting me know. I guarantee I'm not the best photographer - I'm just enthusiastic . I'll play with the ISO next time and we'll see what happens. Glad you guys are enjoying!

They're great pictures. Check out all these plus ones you caught:

Car 123
Car 110 (epic plus one)
Car 112 (this must be photoshopped )

I do find it suspicious that they're all from the same cone. I think we were set up.

Kinda looks like you're parked on course. Nice shot.

I think someone just called you slow, Sammyzuko ...

It was great...that cone was hit so often it wasn't funny. It didn't take me nearly as long to go through them as I thought it would. Was interesting since we used the big TV as a computer screen. I really liked this shot (Car 138) and this one (Car 208). I know there were others I liked too but it's hard to find them in all those pics.

That is a REALLY nice picture of you and your car!

Thanks! Props to the photographer. When I see Katie at events I usually think "she must not be taking pictures today" because I see her off doing other things. I'm not sure how she manages to take all those pictures.

Kinda looks like you're parked on course. Nice shot.

Lol...it does look like I'm out there hardparking. I figured I have enough pics where my car looks out of shape, so I went with the one where she looks the sexiest.

I bought the $5 full 6.1 megapixel resolution version of this great shot

Sweet Jebus that's a huge picture! Pretty cool to examine.

I think someone just called you slow, Sammyzuko ...

Maybe that's the kind of inspiration I need to set up my game at the next event.

Awesome photos dude!!

My buddy took the first batch from the hill-side. I took the majority of the pictures from the back grass. Obviously I keyed in on some 3-wheel cars.

I'm the guy who drove the E34 535i.

Any chance you could upload the pics you took of my car?

The rest are in the same series...cut the link:

Replace the "??" with numbers 16 through 29.

Awesome, more pictures! And free, too! Thanks for taking them and posting them. That D40 is a nice camera and it looks like you also have the 70-300mm f/4.5 - f/5.6 lens. Here's a neat trick you may want to try when taking pictures at event #6 (hint, hint): try dropping your shutter speed to say, 1/125, and then follow the car with your camera while taking the shot. The slower shutter speed will make the wheels and the background blur like this:



This picture was taken at 1/20 second shutter at f/11.0 which gives maybe too much blur. Try it with 1/125 and then keep making it slower until you're happy with the results. The trick is being able to keep the car in frame while in motion.

It was pic 1191...not sure why it wasn't linking. I love the color of your car - it's one I hadn't seen before - and there's a bunch of pics of it.

Thanks! color is Arena Red - funny I wasn't sold on it at first but its tough to find a nice 993 with low miles. I couldn't be too picky then it ended up growing on me..


That was my favorite too! Just became my avitar on other sites and here too if they let my newbie self, Thanks for all the pics, hopefully you will be out next time!
