The 20D goes to the races
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

Question: how does the "427" image _print_? In particular does the cyan/white/cyan area* look like that on a print or does it do a smooth transition? I've got some shots where the sky goes through strance colors on the screen like that, but print just fine. I'm wondering if it's a color space problem... *: On my screen the white highlight band across the top is flanked by cyan regions. Maybe my monitor's problematic... David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan

Nice shots. Much better than nice, but I don't like to gush. If I owned any of those cars, I'd want at least 10 minutes between me and anything else on the track! Where is this held, by the way?

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... My first car was a '68 Roadrunner. It was a real animal. Now I drive a 2005 Chrysler 300C - a real civilized beast.

Need to pan or long shutter (which does not work well with a light BG as you have here). The venue is rather dull, so closer shots would be more effective.

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

Not that I need an SUV, we have a minivan for carting stuff around. I got that last year. Funny, the guys around here hit 40 and they get a taste of the mid-life crisis and go buy a Vet or Mustang. I turn 44 and buy my first minivan (the kids are older too, no little ones). Well, it's nice to see one of those neighbors pull up next to me in their Mustang GTs knowing that they really can't take the 300C in a 1/4 mile.
