Been playing around with RC Photography, What do you think?

[rcTom]

Hey,

My name is Tom, i'm from the USA (Central Pennsylvania to be a little more exact). I'm a photographer who is also into RC's, so it came natural for me to try photographing RC's while at the track. A local racer told me about this site and the amazing photography that was on it, and WOW he was right.

I have to say, taking pictures of these small very fast moving objects is tough, alot tougher then i expected.
My main gear is; Canon 40D, 70-200 F2.8 IS and 24-70 F2.8

Here is a gallery the first time i tried it.

And here is the second time.

I think i got a few great shots, but they just dont stand out like some of the photos ive seen here. I notice at first i was shooting with a very fast shutter speed, in hope to not havea blurry car (since its moving so fast) but then i realized i didnt like the "froozen" wheels and i wanted the car to have more movement. So ive since then started using a slower shutter speed. Ive also been playing around with close up panning, ive gotten some pretty sweet shots. Anyway, take a look and tell me what you think. Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.

PS: My RC's are Mod B44 and Mod RC8E. 8-)
