Augusta Southern Nationals 2011

we went Saturday and i have a few pics , i am not real happy with them. Augusta is a hard place to get a good place to shoot from. Some of the first running shots i have are from a a 1/4 of a mile past the finnish line and the close ones are tring to shoot between the tail post that hold the pier. I know mine are not near as good as Ricks , i need a lot more lens and faster glass , it got cloudy late and my 70 to 300 has good reach but it is to slow to get the lite in at as fast a shutter as i needed to keep the pics sharp.

i took 300 and to me none of them are as sharp as i would like , partly because of where i had to get to take them from , Augusta is not a bad place to watch from but for taking pics there is a lot of stuff in the way. It is hard to pan on a boat running 200 mph with all the stuff in the way

Nice pics, havent been to Augusta since 2007, because of work. The start line is good for the hole shot pics, but other than that it is hard to shoot there. thanks for posting!
