Amazing photos man! Are you shooting with one of the Canon Mark camera's?

Thanks for the comments...

No, I have an old Canon D60 (14,000 shots on it) and a Canon 20D that is getting old as well. Most shots were taken with the 100-400mm Canon and I also used the basic 28-135mm.

This was the first time at an NHRA event, and I have to say it was incredible! I wasn't prepared for the sensory overload of 7000+ HP motors.

Typically, when shooting road racing, I have a success ratio of about 1 out of 5 shots. At the NHRA event, that was closer to 1 out of 30. They are just too fast to pan accordingly.

Cheers,

OS

Wow you must've taken a ton of shots! So is photography what you do for a living or just a serious hobby?
