Great exposure choices! I know if it was me I probably would have overexposed them a bit and would have lost the "morning lighting" look of these. It's really cool that you can tell when the shots were taken just from the quality of light. Great timing, composition, colour, sharpness too! pfff, these just rock.

[GaryS]

Great shots as always.... My fav is "Lining up on the grid.". The best part of a race is the minute before it starts, when the energy is at its highest and everybody thinks they might win it.

After our fanny pack thread, I have to ask... Is Crapville really a place? :-)

[FLiPMaRC]

:eek: Wow. Great shots! :cool:

No, it just seems that way at times: Sydney. :)

I really like that 30 second shot of the 335i cuz of the long exposure

These are to your usual standard CW (not that we would expect any less :)

Speaking of wankers at the chase with big lenses...:) did you see this particular wanker with the 600 f/4 with a 2x converter on it....lolol

Yeah, the biggest wanker of them all! :o

No comment on that one. But all jokes aside, it was great to finally catch up and a big thanks for letting me use the MKIII and 600mm. I am now in the process of working out a timeline to buy one (MKIII that is).

[zmikers]

Awesome shots as usual, but got to say that 4, 6 and 7 are my favorites. I love the colours of 4 and 6 and I love how you can see the left side of the car hopping off the ground in 7.

[gmtech79]

Sweet shots! I really like the ones with shallow dof.

[michael_]

[cpaussie]

Fantastic photos as always. I really like no. 4. It makes you see how fast does cars can really go.

Hahaha. :p

Nice work as always Christian. I really like the creative use of the 16-35 with the slow shutter and sunburst!
