Today a friend of mine took out his RC cars, and I was there to photograph it all. This is my first test with the SMC Pentax DA* 60-250mm F4 ED [IF] SDM.
I realized RC cars are the hardest things I've tried to photograph so far. Motor cross, snowmobile cross or birds have nothing on these speed demons which change speed and direction at the blink of an eye. Also they're so small compared to the speed they have.
This makes it even more rewarding when you succeed :) Here are a couple of images, but if you want to see the full collection of almost 40 images check this album.
Also, check the last few photographs. The shutter speed on the ones with the wheel is 1/6000th, and it didn't stop the action, so it's rotating very fast! So fast the wheel burst and slapped the hand that held the car so hard it started bleeding :P
No Kodak Slide Films Anymore! :-(
