Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout

It was a great time, dispite the sun burn haha. I learned alot about panning through trial and error. But in a nut shell, a 28-80 f2.8 is NOT lond enough for this kind of photography and it really sucks to shoot through a chain link fence haha. Yes, all the shots were panning through a chain link fence. This is the reason I think the focus is off on different parts of the car. Anywho, here are the first sets.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Really nice work! Especially considering the length of the lens and the fence, you really overcame the obstacles.

Oh yeah... I've covered a few of those over the years. Drift shows are the best. Do you attend the HIN shows or SEMA?

Its funny, HIN will be here this weekend but I wont be attending that one. I am however going to the Forced Air Technology open house (the first 2 cars in the set are both from FAT). They will be having some dyno pulls going on, so that would be cool to shoot. I actually had 2 tickets to SEMA 2 years ago, but the plans fell through and wasn't able to attend. I would love to go this year though. Are you planning on going to SEMA this year?
