Hi Jeremy

Car racing eludes me although long ago I got some great shots of a jet car. These are good - I quite like the celebrating winners!!

How goes soccer?

Great to see more of the rally car racing. Not something we see a lot of.

I do like the second shot. The action is great and my only comment is that it could use a bit of punch (colors). Great series of pictures to give a flavor for the overall race too.

Thanks for the feedback.

It was fun shooting this series as the cars were coming right at me, I was out of the way using a 300 f/4 with a 1.4x tc.

Is this what you were thinking for more colors?

... but that's a rally car on a dusty trail, not a show car indoors.

Doesn't look realistic to me. Were the colors actually that vivid in person?

Nice pix - go Travis !
