Thank you! You’re right, it wasn’t easy. I was really surprised how well this came out. Of course, you can see that I cropped it. I felt like there was too much space. It was also too far away. This was my best shot. I am really improving my photos. This was taken a couple of years ago.
Hi Vonnie – Just saw you put me on your watchlist, thanks! Anyone who loves Formula 1 is my kind of person. (Saw my first at Monaco in 1972 in pouring rain, never had a bigger thrill.) Your work surges with energy and excitement. We both like trains, too, clearly. I’ll keep an eye on your gallery.

Nice shot, Vonnie. These aren’t F1 cars tho’ they look like Formula BMW.
Love some of your other shots too.

Nikon D80 with a 18 – 200 lens. Hand-held. I’ll have to check the settings later.

Honestly, I don’t really know that much about cars. My husband is the fan of racing. He’s the one who titled this picture. I just take the pictures.

There is a train show in Michigan Saturday. I’m going with my husband, son, and father-in-law. If I get any good pictures, I’ll put them on here.
