   Mark,

   Nice try, but, you need a telephoto/zoom lens in the order of 200mm for such events since you can’t get close to a speeding car for obvious reasons. Nikon has some selling for less than $200 @ Amazon.

   Good luck

   Yeah, but you cannot do that with a car coming at you, can you? BTW, what lens were you using?

10. 10. Mark | November 18th, 2007 at 8:08 pm

    Mostly my prime 50mm lens but I also had a shitty 28-80mm G lens which I used for the ferrari, rs4 and porsche shots.

    I want more pics, lets see the Noble Drift!

    That sucks! people weren’t able attend this event? It would’ve been much better if normal people could attend. I’m sure many would have found it interesting

    Amjad:
    Anybody could attend .. the people were sitting in the pits not the stands.

14. 15. cajie | November 19th, 2007 at 11:36 am

    You really needed a lens with a better reach.

15. 16. Mark | November 19th, 2007 at 11:42 am

    cajie if you check the pictures you would see there wasn’t a need. the photography locations around the track are very close to the cars. there was never a point where i wished i had better zoom. i did wish i had the 80mm 1.8 prime lens though :)

16. 17. Mark | November 19th, 2007 at 11:45 am

    ps: we were always on ground level not the stands thats why we were close to the cars. and around the tracks there are locations meant for photographers to stand and film crews and these locations are like also stuck to the tarmac.

    Nat is right. The photos are super crisp. Hey Nat, you don’t mind if me and my friends use them as wallpapers, do you?

18. 19. Musa'ad Haider | November 19th, 2007 at 6:48 pm

    Sorry, mixed up Mark with Nat. Nat is an alien name for me so it doesn’t ring in my head as a feminine name resulting in mix ups even when I am discussing your blog with some one. So Mark, how about those wallpapers now?

19. 20. Mark | November 19th, 2007 at 7:06 pm

    yeah you can use them as wallpaper no problem
