My wife and I attended my daughter's bike race at the Ciociaro Club in Windsor a few nights ago and it was a great opportunity to get a few action shots.... As it turns out, my daughter won her division and I managed to capture the moment at the finish line.
In 700+ pages, I don't think I've posted 1 image here.. These D800(E) images are remarkable. And this thread is a true testament to all of the incredible talent we have here. What a wealth of information and knowledge..

handheld, manual focus, old lens, still gets the job done. Christian Fittipaldi a the wheel, busy winning the race at Road America yesterday. This is in the Caroussel, at about 100mph. D600, 600mm f/4.0 EDIF AI-S pan
Fireflies under a starlit sky:
24-70mm on D3S. ISO 4500 f2.8 and 13 second exposure so that fireflies could paint their trails and the stars would be recorded too.
Roaring Lion:
Lit by hand-lights from two separate jeeps. 200-400mm on D3S; ISO 12800 f4.5 and 1/160 exposure
