  • Practicing Insanity!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, So if it's supposed to be impossible then I'll give it a try.

    Camera: Canon 20D
    Lens: 500mm f4
    ISO: 100
    Aperture: f/5.6
    Shutter Speed: 1/40 sec.

    Hand held, no pod.

    Alien: Possibly
    Insane: Most likely

        Here's one more for you. The shutter speed is not quite as slow as the first (1/125 sec.) The detail that the 500 f4 captures is amazing.

              Wow, you are killing me. I can't swing the 500, but I'm seriously looking at the 300 2.8 IS.

              How far down track were you sitting? Just don't smack anybody in the head with that 500!!

                Got any grenading engines? I love the ballistic straps. And to think that the driver used to straddle the transmission. (Do they still in Funny Cars?) That's a higher octave!

                  Do they still have Funny Cars?? You can't be serious. Ever heard of John Force?
                  Not up to Victor's standards but here is Funny Car from Indy 2004.

                    I know they got'em, just wondered if the driver straddles the transmission, or sits off to the side. BTW, nothin' wrong with your photo! Awesome pan, no paralax.

                        On this pass he ran 4.66 sec., the quickest ever in a Funny Car!

                          That was something. I was watching it on ESPN2 HD. I guess if you can't be there, watching it in HD is the next best thing.

                          Hey it's 25 degrees here, wanna race?

                            So, Victor, did you get to wear one of those fancy blue vests?

                            BTW, SWEET Shots. Sure wish there was something other than tractors moving around here to point my camera at.
