V-spec,

Nice set! I see you managed some very low angle shots ... the RQ manager not around to ask you to "please stand, please, please, no kneeling"

I would like to express my utmost gratitude and admiration for the dedication and professionalism of the Super GT Race Queens! You girls are the best among the best! Arigato Gozaimas!

:D

regards,
Lance

Wow.. V-spec nice pics man... wish I had the oportunity to take those kind of shots. How do you get to the back anyway?

Good shots V-spec I'm glad you read my thread. You have a good mixture of long lens and wide angled shots. Like the panning ones of the cars- must have taken you a lot of time to get it right.

The shots of the girls were great- you are lucky to have that much access to the girls although I noticed that some of them are not looking at your lens - you were following someone else's "shot"? Neverless you had great access and you made the most of it. I'll be sure to check out your blog and your photos.

ARTC5859, I suck panning shots. You can't imagine how many are wasted.:cry_smile:

As for the RQ pics, some of them pose for me while some they posr for other photographers. In that case, I just steal shots from behind 'em. :tongwink:

1st u need is a Main Grandstand ticket...

2nd to enter the pits u need a pitpass ticket which available at the ticket counter or the doors to enter the pits.

U can catch pics of the babes at Pits and the Stage...

Seriously - if you want to get "close" to the Race Queens. Invest in a GT Club Pass. It used to be RM1000 then it was RM1500 but you can just about go anywhere in the Paddock and the hospitality areas. That's where they all hangout - and eat.

I dont know much about the current DSLRs- they do just about the same job.

to me its all about the lens. You'll need a good portrait lens when you're up close to them say a 50 or a 100mm lens. A 85mm would be good too. you can get away with a typical 28-70mm zoom but going wide means the exaggerated curves you get wont be flattering to the girls.

if you have a 100- 150mm or longer lens- youll get more depth of field and thus can blur out the background.

since its in bright sunshine- you wont need a super fast f2.8 lens- just about any decent zoom lens will do.

I hope that helps a bit.
