'Gold Coast 600' -fast cars.

My son went down to the Gold Coast on Friday,he went to the practice session of the car race-$42 for the ticket,I think the price went up quite a bit for the Saturday and Sunday.

He was keen to use his new Canon 600D,he used the basic 17-55 kit lens to get these images.I think this kit lens is a mk2 version,I had one very similar with my old 350D.But this lens he has seems to be giving better results.

He had to play around a fair bit to get these cars,as the three V8 images shown-they were doing 240 Kph!,not sure how fast the formula one car was doing.My son saw the f 18's but was filming at the time,he got some footage and sent a screen grab,not sure if that will load into IIS.

The cars were VERY load,and the hornets could not be heard.Looks like a great event.
