Some years ago I saw a similar pic on e90post. A guy did European Delivery and was driving his new car in the autobahn at similar speeds. His odometer stated 20 miles, I believe. Yep, he went straight from the dealer to the highway.

If I had an AW sedan that looked this good you’d have to pry it from my lifeless fingers.

I’m guessing that’s a wonky perspective, because Ava looks uber skinny there.

Went to my friend’s place and had to find a good way to park my car on his incredibly hilly driveway. It’s steep, sharp fall off and off camber. [emoji23]

It’s really hard to see the angle of slope I was on but the right rear was just about fully compressed and tucked in the wheel well while the other side was extended far beyond normal height. DSC was blinking as the tires spun in that position. [emoji23] I was in disbelieve so I pulled forward thinking I put myself on snow but that wasn’t the case. [emoji51]

@bimmerteknik rolling through NASCAR Bend at VIR...

I wish I'd walked over to to Turn 5 and the Snake, but frankly I was just too lazy. I'm also rapidly realizing the AF speed on that lens simply isn't quick enough to keep up with motorsport photography...whatever, who needs money?

Good shots! If you want the car clearer, move with the car when shooting. The car will be clear and the grass blurred showing speed and motion.

Definitely. These were both lower speed corners, so the panning isn’t as noticeable. It was also very bright, and I don’t have a 62mm ND filter, so even at 200ISO I couldn’t shoot any slower than 1/125sec.

very nice! what camera and lens were you using? whats the EXIF on the images? the shutter speed looks relatively low.. probabyl less than 1/250th sine the wheels arent frozen which is a good thing.

would love to edit one of these with your permission. i love editing.

All were a Nikon D700 and an old Nikkor 70-210 f/4 AF-D, 200 ISO in Shutter Priority.

NASCAR Bend: f/11, 1/200, 155mm
Turn 4: f/14, 1/250, 210mm

I really need an AF-S lens for this kind of photography, and VR would be nice to slow things down even further. Really regretting selling my 70-300VR several years ago.

Yes please, I’ll send you the raws. I never took the time to learn editing beyond the most basic of basic. I opened these, tweaked the exposure a little bit, and lightly burned the background to bring back a little bit of contrast. I don’t use a CPL on that lens (eyeroll) because the hood screws into the filter threads, and makes it a huge PITA once the focus barrel starts turning.

raws would be great!

as long as you have AF-C enabled on your camera and use the center 9 point focus mode... even an AF-D lens can focus properly with motor sports since your distance to focus doesnt extend the full range of the lens like you do with birding and wild life.

i have a 300 AF-D lens and it tracks fine with motor sports. you just need to PAN and use a mono pod until you get good at panning by hand. AF-C do it man :)
