My take of the drags

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Number 1 gives the best feelings of the drags for me, and I think I spy a certain photog from Newcastle on the right of the frame :)

Mind if I ask what equipment you use? My FH would love it if I could eventually get some photos like that :)

Not bad mate, your panning looks good to me. Like the 1st pic - shame the tog is blocking part of the car though :x

Yeah all those pros could stand on the other side so us amateurs could get some decent shots!

Equipment - I was using D3 + 18-200VR, in crop mode - which uses the conversion factor so effectively close to 300mm. I found the VR helped, as you would be holding the camera for a while waiting for the green lights, and I think it helped with the panning. Most shots were taken at around F6.3 - F8, which gave me a nice large depth of field so I didn't have to re-focus too often as they moved across the field of view.

What's an FH?

It was overcast in the afternoon so a nice even light.
