I think the time has come for a Motorsports photo thread, so I'm starting one.

I enjoy motorsports and taking pictures, so naturally taking pictures of motorsports is right up my alley. One of the drawbacks, I feared, of m43 was that it might not be "good enough" for motorsports... Well, based on some recent threads, and some time up at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, I'm happy to report that m43 is certainly "good enough" to satisfy my motorsports needs.

Please share your motorsports shots, comments, tips and techniques. I can't wait to see what you all have to offer!

I'll start off with a few panning shots. All shots are manual focus, EPM1 + native lenses (45-200mm, 25mm, 45mm). These were taken at 24 Hours of Lemons open track session last week at NHMS. $500 cars, unlimited safety budget, and a sense of humor make this event special. Someday I hope to participate.

One more shot: From today's Vintage Racing event (more to come once I get them sorted):

very nice, i love the panning shots...

Again, all manual focus, shutter priority, EPM1 with native glass, OOC jpegs. These were taken during a VRG practice session on Saturday May 12th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. Click the images to access my gallery (in progress) with more photos and more resolution.

Enjoy, and I welcome your thoughts, tips and/or your own photos. Help this thread grow!

I like the car title on the 4th shot ... 'team compact' ... very apt
