p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Milton Three Ponds, NH Ice Races


Went to my first ice race today at Milton Three Ponds which is about 15 minutes from me. We got to drive out on the ice (between 2-3 ft. thick) to watch the action. My 2 kids loved it and my 3-year old now wants a snowmachine. Yeah Right. All shot with my D300 and Nikon 80-200 at f/4, ISO 200 and shutter speeds generally right around 1/4000s. I was too lazy to crop these....way too tired tonight. Thanks for looking!

I think the picture of your friends car is very nice! I would maybe crop it a bit tighter? I like the first two in terms of action etc.

Nice job!

The race track is a big circle on the pond created by about 4 plow trucks. To watch the races you basically park around the outside of the circle. You can't get too close because cars have been known to flip over into the outside portion of the track. Next weekend I will be able to sit in the middle with the plow trucks. I plan on bringing my Tokina 300 2.8 this time.

I will crop it for him because he wants to purchase several photos from me.

Where I come from we would call that snow racing instead of ice racing. But very nice pictures.
