Default Some pics from 2011 ALMS at Laguna Seca last weekend.

As usual, work interfered and I only made it to the track for the last 50 minutes of the 6 hour race. The transition to dusk is my favorite time so I wasn't going to miss that for anything. I was messing around w/ slow shutter speeds and this is what I got.

Very nice pics. What focal length lens, shutter, and app were you using?
For the Vette shot in garage did you use auto white balance or preset the Kalvin temp?

Good job and the last 50 min of the race was great.

Fantastic pictures! Can you post a link to the hi-rez version of the 911 Hybrid in the paddock? I'd like to make that my desktop.

Wish you had taken some pics during the GT3 Cup races, those are better than all the official ones I've seen so far!

Joe - Lens is a 70-300mm Nikkor VR, shutter ranged from 1/100 to 1/8, app is Lightroom. Vette shot & all other shots were auto white balance. The EXIF data is still in all the pics so you can see the specifics for each.

Curious to know your involvement with motorcycles.
