I used to be obsessed with these slow shutter shots, not so much anymore. But I put one up anyway :)
Overall winner of 2012 Petit LeMans Rebellion Racing Lola B12/60 Toyota makes quick work of the IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche 911 GT3 RSR in the "stadium" section of Road Atlanta. Great place for crowd to watch the race and we amateur photogs to get up close, unobstructed view points.
Tom's tip: For the folks that want to try panning...you regulars at this know the drill and probably have even better technique. Anyway, manual exposure of area of shot...dark versus light colored cars and headlights will effect shutter priority settings. Observed that faster overtaking cars if on tail of lead car at turn to left would pass about this location. My target point. Focus track and begin panning with slower car and when faster car enters frame...trip shutter... follow trough like your best baseball swing. Repeat until happy! I use shutter speeds from 1/125 to 1/180 to keep those wheels spinning, with sharp detail on car, in this case the blue Porsche as the black #12 was faster than my pan rate and a beautiful background blur for that "speedy" look. Try speeds down towards 1/45 or slower for some interesting results. I'm open to discussion and improved techniques!
The inside of a fast-food restaurant at lunchtime during Ramadan in Tunis. Finding places to eat was a bit rough -- few places were open for lunch, and the ones that were served as packed refuges for all the non-fasting Tunisians, particularly smokers. Most place smelled like, and made my clothes smell like, the glassed-in smoking rooms in airports. The doors are shut tight and windows papered over so fasters don't see non-fasters smoking and eating.
Iberia also received the Baggage Improvement Program certificate and Madrid-Barajas Airport has received the Fast Travel certificate.

I think I may have found the One. Whilst I shall probably still lust after a Canon 35mm f/1.4 L, there's no way I can afford one right now. This on the other hand came in just the right side of my limit. It's in great shape, feels extremely well built, and seems pretty sharp. Bokeh to die for.
Seen here sitting on top of the Nikon lens page of "SLR annual '73", which is a little early for this particular lens, but was too good to miss.
