Oran Park Raceway Part 2

Found a few more cool ones from the Oran Park set. I tried to get a very dramatic effect with the one above. It didn't turn out as I wanted but I still quite like it. I couldn't really get the vignette right and I couldn't really give it a sense of speed. I tried blurring the background but it didn't look realistic. I've updated the gallery for this set as well. Check it out if you haven't!

Oran Park Raceway

My friend invited me to go down to Oran Park Raceway the other day. I haven't been down to a track before so I was quite intrigued by all that sound and  all that technical talk. Because Oran Park Raceway is going to be demolished for housing development next year, this particular event was going to be one of the last, ever. It wasn't really a race, but rather a time-attack/time-trial thing.

So here are some photos of that day. I haven't taken photos of fast moving objects before, so it was quite a challenge to learn how to pan properly. The autofocus of D700 proved its worth and it was super fast at tracking the cars.  I didn't get many nice shots in the end, partly because I wasn't in interesting positions; I was too lazy to drive up to the other side of the track. As I find more good shots, I'll post them up in the gallery. So check back once in a while if you are into cars and racing.
