Mid-Ohio 2009 - Saturday


Hailwood

Recommended Posts

Went down to Mid-O yesterday with my Dad and had a great time.

I was concerned about the weather, but other than being a little cold (ok, *really* cold) in the morning, it was actually really nice.

I wound up taking about 400 decent photos of Superbike/Supersport Qualifying, MotoGT, and the Superbike race.

MotoGT was actually really cool. Lots of interesting bikes that wouldn't really fit into the other classes, and the 2 hour, 2 man setup was really cool.

Here are the best ones:

Aaron Yates coming into the Esses during Superbike Qualifying

Yates is very good at Mid-O. Back in the late 90's ~ early 00's it was his track, and he would either dominate or crash out trying.

Based on yesterday's race, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the top spot today.

Those Jordan bikes were definitely looking good, and I'm glad to see them doing well.

Now these are freaking fantastic photo's, where are you renting that first rate glass? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Zeiss zoom for my Sony but I sure would like to try before I buy.

Thanks man.

Lens Rentals.com

They have just about anything you could want for most of the major systems out there. The process was very smooth, and the prices reasonable considering what it would cost to buy the lens.

Yeah, we'd actually be interesting in hearing what you used for camera gear.

These were all taken with my 40D and a Canon 100-400L IS lens that I rented from the above site. Some of them were shot on a monopod, but most were hand-held.

The clouds yesterday made for some really good lighting, so I really lucked out there.

Wow, considering most of those lenses cost well over a thousand dollars that is some crazy good prices.

Good job nonetheless
