[Jim Sykes]

A couple of thsse are similar to what you will see from others, but they are six that I like and thats all that matters. I have some other different things as well, but these are the first six I uploaded here to the site, hope you like them as well.

Nice work. I particularly enjoy both BMW shots.

[Jamie Holladay]

Nice set Jim. Of these I like the third one the best.

[Todd Corzett]

Great shot of the BMW (they should start calling it a motorcycle... it spends enough time on two wheels). Very well done!

Man, the lighting on that Aston Martin (#5) is just amazing.

Nice set of images, Mr. James.

[Justin Libano]

Colors are outstanding in these.

[Chris Clark]

Very nice Jim.

I like them all,

but #4 is just a phenomenal shot. I can't stop looking at it.

Excellent work.

[Jim Sykes]

Thanks. While the composition is all that special on some of these the lighting was really great that night and I really like the way it stands out on the Ferrari and Aston shots and to a slightly lesser extent the Creation car cornering.

The BMW jumping the curb and the Creation car up over the hill are both pretty specific Road Atlanta ahots which are done a lot. I liked the way the BMW was getting significant air here and I liked the way the Creation car looked with some good light and dirty front end along with the nice blue against the red clay background.

The BMW/Aston shot was one of those that are great when they work, but you burn a lot of 1s and 0s trying to get it. Shot with a 500 at about 1/60 you can get some really cool effects. Unfortunately its hard to get exactly what you want on the cars you want and sometimes you take what you can get. For instance, I didnt have any work on any of my clients cars that weekend, but I got several of the BMW and thought this was one of the better ones with the sharp nose and blurry rear end and Aston trailling it.

Thanks for the comments. I do have a gallery up on SpeedArena.com if people want to see others. I will also have to put together something with some verticals that came out really nice, but I cant put verticals on SA so I'll have to do a seperate gallery.

Jimmy, Nice stuff, particularly the BMWs. I also really like the Ferrari shot.

Looking forward to seeing you all again at Laguna Seca.

Love that BMW/Aston shot. I can appreciate the difficulty of that one and the amount of shots you take to get one.

The light on several of these is really excellent.

Here are a few more shots that I liked.
