| Latest trackday pics... Here are some of the photos taken at the trackdays I enjoyed last weekend in Pahrump. Mike LaPutt does some really nice work with that camera of his.
It's going to be a long winter!  |

| Re: Latest trackday pics... Nice! Mike does some nice work. Some of those are a tad underexposed though and could use some PS work.

I haven't had a chance to tweak them in PS just yet. Saturday was quite cloudy so probably not optimum conditions for photography. I found myself wishing I had a clear or light smoke visor, which is unusual. The Sunday shots are definitely brighter with more contrast as a result. |
