Drift Nationals, and Super Lap

Hello everyone,
I recently attended the Drift Nationals held at Eastern Creek on the 28th of June. It was a great event, and my first time photographing a drift event, and using my new telephoto lens. I thought it was a great event, and that the photos turned out great. Check them out here: Drift National Photos

Here are a few of the best:


I also went to the premiere SuperLap event at Oran Park on the 5th of July. It is a time trial attack, similar to those held in the USA and Japan. It was an amazing event, with some amazing cars turning out. I have never seen cars fly past me faster than I have at this event, it was utterly amazing. The guys in the Hi Octane R32 GTR were quickest right behind the two series 1 Exige's, which is quiet a feat, considering weight and aero differences. The R35 GTR also made an appearance, doing a 1:17 on semi-slicks, amazing considering the fastest was 1:12 done by the Exige (all the times are here). Here are the photos from the event: SuperLap Photos

Sydney City by night; Urban photography

Hello fellow bloggers,
Tonight I went out with some friends into the city to take some photos. I used this opportunity to work further on my urban photography skills. It was somewhat more difficult in the night, but it posed an interesting challenge, and I think the results turned out very well, with the softness, and noise adding to the character of the photograph.

I hope you enjoy them: http://flickr.com/photos/modena_photo/sets/72157605828250853/

New photos and equipment

This week has been pretty big for me, with my last week of exams, but also with the addition of a new lens; a Canon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS. It is a very very good lens, one of the best you can get, and should help me to improve the quality of my photos taken at the race track.

I have also had my first attempt at photographing a motor bike today, supplied by my good friend Chris. He has a Hyosung GT250R. It was great practice, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Enjoy the results (all the images can be found on my Flickr site: http://flickr.com/photos/modena_photo)
