If I could please get some opinions! Which do you think is the best of these?
I am completely in love with this lens I rented! It takes amazingly clear shots, zooms like a champ, and despite it pouring all day, it was great to get to play with the beefcake yesterday!

thank you!

It was nice to get back out there! But really weird to not have any s2000 pictures! LOL! Gary drove the silver RX8 instead of his car since it was rainy. And his car in the rain is just scary to race!

I like the fact you can see every raindrop on the cars. That is really remarkable.

I felt like I was reading some European racing magazine!

Wow, great shots! I love the first one, the little guy looks so focused and I love the rain splashes shooting out of the back tires.

What ISO were you using? It's kinda weird because (if you used a low one) the shutter speed must have been fast enough to freeze the rain as it was falling, but it also looks like noise from using a high ISO.

Great pictures

I kept the ISO on 400 and the shutter speed was around 500 but that changed a lot. Fstop was 5.0ish, that also changed throughout the day. I tried switching the white balance to cloudy, but I dont think that did much at all!
You can actually go to the album here

and click on each photo and it shows all of the technical info on it! Which I absolutely love!
Shot with a Canon Rebel XT (which I hope to replace by Christmas)
Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS

First time I even used the lens and I have to say I am in love with it. Now to talk Gary into buying it for me
LOL

Thank you all! It really helps having a nice piece of glass on the camera thats for sure! I think my favorite may be either the kart or the blue bug eyed subaru.
Although the red miata the blue checkered flag Gary actually designed, cut, and applied so that one is probably gonna be on the new vinyl works website!
