This happened on last sunday, organized by Autobavaria. An event for owners of their Mini's to have some fun on the race tracks. I managed to tag along a friend and it's my first time shooting something like this.. pretty fun but the arms were screaming sun burn!!!

On the way to sepang race tracks.

My newbie effort in panning...

wow, many minis in the 1st pic, make them look so common, like kenari everywhere. no offence.

nice shots, i like the angle u took each pic, good sense.

Yo bro thanks for the comments I was just thinking the same thing as you too, Minis look abit too much like Kelisas on the outside although they are totally different beasts

uhh.........nice nice....mini coopers....

many mini..lost cout leow...really alot.. O.O

Good coverage there ... from parking lot to the track ... must be a tiring but fun day for you
Good colour rendition from the D200 as well ... with a 300mm lens?

Yeah, D200 colour is really nice... i used a cheap sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 and didn't expect colour to be that good. Was just my second time shooting with a D200... so still picking up and learning how to use the body.. 5fps really poison

This guy here (one of the participants) have the dream Body + lense combo.. really wonder how his pics turned out

Sniped from far away and cropped.. can see legendary 70-200 f/2.8 VR

Yeah, I used a D200 with a Nikkor 50mm for one pagent, the colour was great even under a really harsh environment. The best part was of course the colour temperature can be set, now THAT was one of the advantages over D70/D70s and D50!

Paiseh la.. duno how to use the colour temperature. Normally just use auto WB and compensate warmer or cooler tone. But fully agreed on the colour part, even when dragging back severe underexposed pics the colour still manages to retain

Uh-huh ... and that is WHY the D200 outperforms the 'lower end' models in terms of colour control ...

Ehem ehem

If you already have the D200, no need to upgrade the body, just buy the lens, it's sharper and definitely MUCH better color rendition!
