Fairladys at Fuji

Uploaded: December 18, 2005 22:49:02

Description

1/125, f/5, ISO400, sharpened in PS.

This is one of my better panning attempts while at the Nismo Festival 2005 at Fuji Speedway. Unfortunately the day didn't offer much in the way of weather as it was sub zero degrees and snowed most of the day. But the 100's of rare Nissans that were on display made up for that :)

These are the Super GT500 Nissan Fairladys doing show laps with a number of historical GT cars.


Taken at Fuji Speedway, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
