As a new member I would like to start a gallery where any member can add photos that covey movement and action. It does not have to be limited to motorsports but that is my emphasis. If any learns something from this thread and can apply it to there favorite subjects please do so. With each entry please give as much information about settings so others can learn how to capture this type of image. I am starting this with a couple of entries that I really like. Feel free to comment, critique, but hopefully add your own shots and grow your skills.

I like the entire range of shooting motorsports. Take a look at my introduction page http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-30847-1.html and you will see 3 more examples of the type of photographs that I like to take at the track. I try to translate the movement that is going on around me with the camera. When I first started shooting I had a lot of pictures that looked like the car was sitting still in the middle of the track and quite honestly they were very very boring.

Here is a more traditional shot but still shows movement.

Even though higher speed, still nice wheel movement.

Cool, I know exactly where you took the first shot from. Since I'm usually in the paddock area I rarely was able to get away from either turn 17 or turn 1. Here are couple more.

1 ISO 200, 120mm lens, f18, 1/80 sec

2 ISO 200, 100mm lens, f22, 1/20 sec

3 ISO 320, 55mm lens, f4.0, 1/25 sec (out of turn 1 headed your way)
