Lap Record Smashed
Nikon D100, Nikkor 105mm f2.5, Tokina 2x teleconverter
One of the highlights at the Historic Race was the demonstration laps by the Toyota Formula One team. The team test driver attempted and successfully broke the all-time lap record at Laguna Seca. We were watching this from the grandstands at Turn 4.

The top photo is my favorite. Action photography is definitely not a strength of mine, but I can see you're really good at it.
The top photo is not only a good racing photo, it's a *great* composition! Look at that repeating pattern and great use of negative space.
The 2 white arcs with stripes unify the photo by tying together the lead car and the following car. I love the way the following car is "tied" to the arc by that one tire.
The blacktop area is one great big "negative space" that echoes and complements the white arcs, and the sandy areas do the same thing on the left side of the photo.
... and Warren captured all that in the blink of an eye - pretty darn good! :-)
Hi Steve,
Welcome back! I hope you have more time now to play a little.
The top photo that you're looking at is actually two pictures of the same car :). I guess I should have seperated them with some white space to make it more obvious.
Thanks for your nice comments. We certainly miss your analytical eye here since you've been away :).

I like.

Warren,
These are great shots. I work with a guy that use to race. I showed them to him, and he has been on that course. He loved all the shots of the cars.
