My Favorite Picture from HOAR

This is my favorite picture that I took at Heel of a Race...at least so far:



I think the angle and the blur really capture the essence of speed and the determination on the biker's face says it all.

I uploaded more HOAR photos to flickr

Shot the HOAR today

And I'm half happy with the results. Some of my pics turned out really good. Some not so much. But hey - this was my first real "action" shoot, so it's ok. I'm happy that I learned a couple things:

1. I really need to get a faster focusing long lens if I'm going to shoot action
2. I really need to learn to pan b/c the effect is REALLY damn cool

Here are a few of the "good" shots I got today:



I've got lots more, but I haven't gone through them yet. They'll all be put up on flickr eventually.

HOAR - no, not WHORE...HOAR!!

Heel Of A Race!!!

I'm totally psyched about this cuz I'm going out to shoot my first race and this is IT! I'm also volunteering to help out wherever else they need me - and parking is one place I know I've been assigned to so far.

I'm thrilled and will be studying up on taking action shots and asking a good friend of mine for tips on action shots...*coughs*...you know who you are, so be ready for my email, k? :-* :P

Yay me for doing something new!
