Hey guys,
Heard about the forum and thought I'd sign up, from the quick browse I've had looks like I have plenty of reading to do.
Anyway I use a Nikon D70 with the kit lens & 70-200 VR primarily for drag racing photography and general automotive stuff.
Here's a few samples, I'd like to hear your guys comments opinions.
Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt welcome to the forums, you seem to have a great skill with the car photography, some great shots you've posted I particularly like the 2 cars and a train shot, well done. Before anyone else says anything I'd check the horizon on the first shot, not sure it's straight (some, not I, are sticklers for straight horizons). Anyways hope you enjoy you stay, and perhaps familarize yourself with the posting guidelines,
FAQ etc (for instance shots should be 800 pixel at there widest and preferably below 200k each, and only 4 shots per image review post)
Welcome again!

Sorry, I should have checked before I posted.
I'll take some down. I'm still learning with the landscape side of things.

WOW!
Great shots mate. Do you shoot professionally? Certainly your images appear to be good enough. You must have a great vantage point at the drags, like Jeff says it looks trackside.
Looks like you have a thing or two to teach us!
Welcome aboard!

Hey Matt impressed with the shot of the Rail. Smokin! Tyres are burning.
How good is the 70-200? No comparison don't you think.

Nice shots - very detailed - I can tell, for instance, that holdens headlights are just stickers! never saw that before, not even in real life!

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be sure to post new work regularly. The photos are from trackside as mentioned due to media access.
I do it more as a hobby, but I do sell prints and images to magazines when requested but I don't work for anyone as such.
The 70-200 is a gem, it never comes off my D70.
Next on the list is a 1.7 TC as soon as I sell my SB800.
Cheers,
Matt

Definitely looking forward to more shots of this calibre from you, was it difficult for you to obtain the media pass ?
If you post the Sb-800 in the for sale section I'd imagine it would sell fairly quick, and if you stick around, you'll find there are some bargains available to members...

It took some nagging and started off at small meets only, then I slowly proved myself and now I'm on the "regulars" list I guess you could say.
I can't post the SB-800 cause I don't have enough posts which is fair enough so I popped it on eBay.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Matt

Welcome and nice photos, very nice actually.
Reminds me of my friend inviting me to his uncle's race days with his drag cars.
