Day 1:

I have to start with this with a photo I took last night/this morning. Oh, about 1AM today.. so it is not cheating! =) One of my favorite things to photograph is drag racing. This is something I have worked on more than anything to try and perfect. This picture is of a fellow that races all the time at the track and I have yet to get a good picture of him. I don't know if it was pure luck, or my technique is getting better but I was able to finally take a shot of him that I feel is where my work needs to be.

It is cheating because it is such an incredible shot dang it!

I am pleased to see you getting started with your challenge!

LOL thanks, Cricket! =)

Day 2:

Not much of a commentary today. I just so happened to be back out at the racetrack again today to shoot an event. This bike is one I have never seen out there. I have a fascination with motorcycle drag racing apparently. I am going to add an extra today too.. I can't leave out the Harley lovers, myself included!

that first one *screams* speed. If that was the intent, you nailed it.

Yes sir, that is what I am trying to go for. I have been shooting at 1/200 or 1/250 of a second. Next time, I am going to try and drag the shutter some more. If I could get it down to about 1/90 the effect would be awesome!
