The 20D goes to the races
"Peter A. Stavrakoglou" wrote in message t... "Skip M" wrote in message news:6oLad.24524$hj.18916@fed1read07... Since Annika's out traipsing around Maui, and I'm sure ya'll miss his bombastic posts, I'll take this opportunity to put up a gallery of images from the recent Chrysler Speed Festival. Just so you won't miss him so much... I'll admit a few of the images are a little less than perfect, I forgot to turn off the IS on my 28-135 when panning... http://www.shutterspeedway.com/cgi-b...%20the%20Races -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com A Challenger AND a Javelin. You're making me feel older than necessary. Nice shots, the one of the Stutz stands out for me - rich yellow color. And that one was with the 18-55 "kit" lens, too. Overall, I'm very pleased with the color rendition of the 20D compared to the D30 that it replaces, especially the reds. Not many people know about the Mopar effort in TransAm in '70 (that's Sam Posey's car in the image) or that Roger Penske took the TA title with Mark Donahue in the Javelin in '70 or '71, don't remember which. Speaking of getting old... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com

I tried some longer exposures, but tossed them. Actually, being farther from the action might have helped, more apparent movement, kind of like Frank has. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com
