A few from the HIGPA this past weekend. Had some rain in the AM for the Porsche GT3 Cup race but it cleared & was nice & cool for the IndyCar race. Josef Newgarden (#2 Team Penske) won the race after #12 Will Power had led for most of the race.

Hey, you can go & shoot with an admission pass. There are a few good spots on the hills to shoot from with a long lens but it got much more difficult to find good places after IndyCar started running there & had the catch fencing put up all the way around the track.

It's a great place to go- the track & grounds are beautiful & the Museum has doubled its size last year. There were 1000-1300 vintage motorcycles in the first building & I'm not sure what the total is now.

The Barber Historics race is next month (5/19- 5/21) & there are some pretty cool vintage cars at that. It's a lot more relaxed than the Indy is & would have some good photo opportunities.

nice shots, it was a bit boring to watch on TV. Always better being there. Looks like a nice venue.

It's kind of boring to watch on TV since there aren't many passing areas with all the turns. They only have 3 longer straights & the max speed is pretty much about 160 mph. It is a beautiful track to be at- like a park. It is more exciting if you are driving rather than watching- I've done several track days there & it keeps you busy.

Here is a video of Ryan Hunter-Reay doing a couple of laps with telemetry overlays. It's crazy to see how fast they are going thru the different areas compared to how fast I was going.

Nice shots. Perhaps the changing clouds caused it, but white balance seems inconsistent. The grass is very different looking in several shots.

Yeah, it was under very variable conditions. In the AM it was raining then misting then partly cloudy & back to mist & in the afternoon it ranged from mist to cloudy to partly cloudy to full sun- back & forth all day. I shot in JPEG Auto1 WB with all the variation (I initially tried Cloudy WB but conditions changed too often) & really didn't do much post- processing except for slight exposure adjustment & cropping. Conditions were pretty crummy a lot of the time except for the later afternoon- had to change settings all the time.

I edited a few of them for WB. Do you think they look better?

Nothing says wow. Slow down the shutter speed, dont crop a car, there is no use for that. Avoid stuff in the background. I know, easier said than done but avoid what you can.
