Incredible shots, Matt

Number 4 is pretty cool, and number 2 just rocks! (even though it's of a ford...!)

Was this up around Reid Park or the cutting? And that's from the inside of the track too, isn't it? Looks just like the shot they use on the TV that is covered by the camera on the boom.

Wow.

There are cars other than Ford at Bathurst these days? You'd never know ...

Oh for the days when they had Minis, Alfas ... everything. V8s are just slow and boring. Popular? Yes, but that rarely equates to good.

And speaking of good, these images are. And especially 2 and 4. Well done Matty. They're better than good. Now if only the racing could do justice to your photography skills.

Great Job! Kicked ass on the shots I took on Saturday at the event. I did however get a great shot of the Hornet flying over. I'll go and upload it now.

V8s are just slow and boring.


Boring is something that particular track isn't, and slow, at just under 300kmph down Conrod Straight, I'd hate to see what you think fast is :wink:

Nice images matty. Good to see you've posted EVERY image you took that was in focus..... :lol:

Number 2 is one of the best images I've seen from that part of the circuit.

#2 is one of the best car shots I've come across. Conveys everything about that part of the circuit, as far as the track goes anyway.

F1.

There is nothing that compares for speed, noise, dynamics.

Pretty simple, really.

Love #4, sensational image.

As for racing cars, give me a Ford Cortina, or the Nissan GTR anyday, or an XU1!
