You got some great action shots what kind of camera were you using?

 

[fuztupnz]

My trusty old Nikon D50 and a Tamaron 70-300mm for the action shots and the kit lens for the corral shots.

Nice flame shots. I was having a heck of a time trying to capture them with my XTi, which only does 3fps. It took me close to 200 pictures to get this one that I'm happy with.

Thank you. Nice catch yourself.

My camera is actually pretty slow. I just have lots of practice at mid o. Also the 8's were pretty consistent where and when the were going to light off.

My favorite place to get pics is right before madness. No fencing to shoot though and it's a slow section tha comes close to the spectators. Most of the pics are from there. The rest are from the grandstands at the end of the back straight. I didn't take the camera down, but turn one is a great place for pics too.

Thanks for creating the thread and posting up pics. Hopefully we'll get some more up here. I didn't have any time to take any pictures... or a camera for that matter. Haha.

Great shots. Lots of good shots of the RX-8s shooting flames.

I took around 1500 pictures, I'm going to try and go through them instead of working today.

My girlfriend even had a good weekend since she got to meet Patrick Dempsey:

Im jealous I didnt get my picture with Patrick haha. I was going to take some pics but there was a huge crowd around his car.

 

[WillD]

That was during the autograph session on Friday. A lot less people and much more laid back.

 

[Laser03pro]

Thats cool I guess there are some advantages to being there all weekend.

Dang.. I think we just showed up around this time or were getting things settled. I know my gf and Sam really wanted to meet Dempsy..

The wife is super jealous. Closest she got was a stalker pic while he rushed by her on his way to a meeting or something...lol

 

[Pmpkinhead]

Sorry I couldn't be there, I know the pics are desperately needing some YELLOW in them lol. Next year I would like to see the corral in person. Great pics guys!!! And who is Pat Dempsy, is he the one that was riding the tractor in a movie a long time ago?
