As usual, had a great time even though there were too many full course yellows.

Lots to shoot, also this was my first try at panning shots. I studied and asked folks on the "how to" the week before on different forums. Gathered some starter settings. Here is the results, hope you like'em

Having lunch and all of a sudden Tiff Needell from 5th Gear sits at the table accross from us. I caught a moment of him and this little girl!


Sometimes I let the fan's take pictures with me! Also flyin my LICmotorsport colors!

What kind of camera are you slangin'?

Hot pictures.

 

Gus you lucky ****ing bastard taking a picture with Tiff!!!

 

wow, what an amazing group of shots. you did a great job. where were you standing and did you get a media pass to get to capture such images?

 

great pan shots and other misc car shots. beautifully captured.

 

nice photos! damn, i would have went just to meet tiff! did tiff drive?

 

i was there this past weekend. beautiful shots, almost better than being there IMHO!

 

Sweet, Thanks Dudes for the encouragement! I really enjoyed the process of taking the different kinds of shots. Learning a ton!

R-Dub - I'm on a Canon XSi, most shoots are with a 70-300mm EF IS lens.

Hatteroo & JZ oo7 - Totally Random, just chillin eatin my chicken sandwich, and Tiff just sits at the table with a bunch of kids, a driver, some woman, and a small camera crew. Then everyone takes off except Tiff. Just Chillin by himself for a bit. Slowly people start to come up to him, so eventually I did too. It was pretty cool, cause no one really bombarded him. Not sure if he was driving, or was there for fun!

MyNikonLens - No Media pass, and I was all over the track scouting for a decent place to shoot. I sample many spots , but turn 9 & 10 seem to be a money spot for me.

 

AWESOME PICS dude... good job. i was there this weekend. GREAT time !!
Tdi for the win

 

LOOOOOOOOVE the shot of the blazing hot rotors

 

i actually feel that it's not really necessary to have a media pass to shoot at laguna. the fences aren't that high. if you're over 5' 9" you're pretty much looking over the fence already. turns 9 & 10 is where i like to shoot as well because you are right there panning with them. the corkscrew is the only place where i feel would be nice to have access, but then you are kinda stuck there once you're there.

was tiff a nice guy? he seems like one. if i was there, i probably would've been wearing my, "I AM THE STIG" t-shirt. if i was, i would walk up to him and say, "i'm not, but i know you are."

 

Nice shots!!! What shutter speed were you using on the pans if you don't mind? I seemed to catch the wheels stopped last time and yours look so much better. Really nice work!

 

OMG Tiff was there!!?!?!

I'm literally tearing right now with jealousness


Seriously... I'm tearing and kicking myself in the *** for not going


BTW: Your pics are the ****ing bomb!

 

I'll start using DHL to send ALL my packages if THIS is their delivery car.
