    Ahh.. remember.. some of these are shot outdoors in the daylight.

    With that said, the lighting and color is way better than his NO SX stuff.

    And.. d700 shines? Hmmm..

    I believe, and I'm biased of course, that my NO SX lighting/colors were spot on and made that same D700 look......not so gleaming. :Dwings.gif

    Now this sounds like a Canon owner talkin!!! I am a fan of the D700, what can I say! Did you post a few of your SX stuff? Dont get me wrong here - not trying to get a good ole Nkon vs Canon thing going mwink.gif

    Bottom line - who ever has track access to shoot has my vote! Sigh... always next year!

    Well of course I'm a Canon shooter..clap.gif

    I was just playing with ol Russ here..we both shot at N.O.

    You can find mine on my site or probably a bunch of pages back.

    I know you think track access is the bomb... but in reality? If I could roam the stands all race, and I had to choose one or the other.. I'd choose that over the floor any day. Live and learn!

    Track/floor is good, you can get some shots that others can't get, but IMHO, if you can get in the "wells" around the track....shoot with a 300 or 400 2.8....I think that would be the best bet.

    I tried to get into the AMA's out here in Lakewood but they only allow people with press. BOOOO! :(

    I need someone with a pass to take me along as their "pack mule" :D

    Wow!
    Spectacular!

    I really like number six from the top. I swear it looks three dimensional. The front wheel and spoke seem to be coming out of the picture.

    Really great stuff!
