    This years Gold winner after Dago Red cut a pylon, R-3350 powered Rare Bear. Still the record holder for piston powered aircraft at just over 528MPH (not at Reno, this was over a straight timed course).

    A little wingtip art from the Al Goss's Gold winning T-6 from this year at Reno. The final was won with a record speed of 238.1MPH, and a lap at over 240MPH was flown during the race.

    Martin, it all depends on what show you attend as to how close you can get. This was taken at EAA Oshkosh. With very few exceptions you can walk right up next to any airplane on the field. Just don't touch it!! I did get a few strange glances as I ducked under wing tips to take photos, but I always made sure I did not touch the airplane.

    Did not get to crazy with clone tool here. I just worried about getting the noise cleaned up. As for getting shots down track, they are limited to the first couple hundred feet. After that the cars are just going to fast, and you could get seriously hurt if someting goes wrong. There are seats at the finish line at some tracks, and I have seen some shots from there. It's kind of hard to be creative shooting drag racing. I can't play around like I can at Road America.
  1. Actually this is not cropped at all. This is straight out of the camera. I would be lying if I said just getting part of the tire was what I was aiming for. The cars appear out of nowhere so fast at turn 6, that you barely have time to do a very quick pan, and squeeze a shot off. I took a bunch, and this was one of the good ones.
  2. Just a tight shot from turn 6 of the winning GTS Corvette. Taken with the 100-400L. For those who say it is soft at 400mm, I beg to differ. Can it do detail in bird feathers at 400mm, maybe not, but for auto racing, and airshow photography it works just fine.

    The king, I wish, this was at Canada corner and I was using the converter also, so this is MF to a spot on the track, and shoot and prey you caught it at the right time.

    Yes this was inside of turn 6. I got lucky, many, many came out blurry. You don't have much time to track the car as they appear on the top of the hill.
