    Some really good shots in there... I like the shots at dusk, little light, yet sharp where it counts... Good skills!

    I think 2 and 8 are my favs...

    I like the flying lizard - literally flying.
    Good to see our mate wee Allan out in front.

    For action, itemId=123720 is my favourite.
    Was that Allan spinning on the way through the corkscrew?

    You could maybe upload them to your Gallery on this site, and then use IMG tags.

    Great shots! All very sharp.

    I don't know why the image tags aren't working here... they work everywhere else. Bit odd.

    Sorry..

    Your links are to the HTML page I think, not to the images.
    If I right-click on the larger gallery image and copy that image location ...

    [ IMG ]http://gallery.photographyreview.com/data/photography//502/Thaw_33039.jpg[/ IMG ]



    That worked.

    That worked.
    Yes... that works for the images posted in to this site's gallery. But as I explained to PhotoJohn, that's not a solution that fits into my workflow. My web exports are all managed in Aperture. Aperture doesn't keep re-sized residual files... it temporarily creates them, watermarks them and exports them on transmit. End-of-story. So it's extremely efficient.

    I'll try to post during the off-season (which is rapidly approaching)... but most of the time, I'm just slammed.

    Thanks,

    JT

    So now we've got that figured out, here's a couple portraits for you. Oh, and the spinning Audi is the #1 car driven by Lucas Luhr.





    And another R15:

    The photos are awesome! Love the crash photo - I know how hard it is to get a really good one.

    I am looking at the settings in forum software to see if it's possible to make things work for you. I always assume that if one person tells me they're having problems, there are hundreds or thousands having the same problem and not saying anything.

    Shot 2 is absolutely fantastic, it shows the hilly track, also the light is great.
    Shot 1 is also great, but not that typical for Road Atlanta.

    Cheers
