Day 2 of the competition. Managed to applied for a media pass and just got hold of a 2nd hand D300. Alas didn't have any lens to go with it. Luckily managed to borrow a 18-55mm kit lens. Kinda felt intimidated standing at the press areas with all the D3s, 1D and their big bazookas..
But let the pictures do the talking..
So far so good.. Standing close to the apex means I wasn't limited by the shorter focal range. Plus I was able to go wide to cover both cars when they had the tandem battle..
Standing so close however had it's share of hairy moments.. like when this 350Z oversteer into the turn and spun so close to the photographer's area..
As usual, there were brushes against the safety cones and the tires wall. But this was the most dramatic moments..
War wounds..
The RX7 was crowd favorite with it's aggressive style but was dissapointed when mechanical problems put it out of the competition..
Winner for the day was Tengku Djan. No calls for "One More Time" during the final round as he stamped his authority and outdrove his competitors.
Went home with some serious sunburn and tire dust all over my face.
Thanks Ethan for the lens.
Kit lens rocks......
