Rallycross is an extreme version of circuit racing; it’s maybe slower and definitely cheaper than racing on a track but belief me it’s a thousand times more exciting. During the season there is weekly a race so I can practice a lot on the panning technique for taking picture of moving cars.

I will also try out some Photoshop work on my pictures because these days almost all pictures are edited in one way or another.

Below this paragraph I’ve included two pictures of the first set of pictures I’ve ever taken with a DSLR. The first one is the .jpg conversion of the .raw file and the second one is the modified version. I’ve sharpened it using a second layer (overlay mode) and afterwards applying a High Pass filter on it. On top of that I’ve also created a frame and a title, I hope you like it .

If you were a participant of the race or just a race-enthusiast and you want a picture from the rallycross at Scherpenheuvel 2009, you just have to place a comment with the car-number (I’ve taken a picture of almost every car from the S-class).
