I finally finished editing the photos from World of Speed and
organized 'em a bit.  I did this a little differently than
usual.  I've got one section for photos that kinda "popped" and
caught my eye as being representative of the things I saw during that
event.  And I did a thing on photo sequences...generally of race cars
and bikes through the staging lanes and then at the start line and
down course.  I dunno if this works for people or not.  Feedback,
constructive criticism and error correction would be very well
received.   Then I added a section for detail photos...well, what was
left over after the other sections.

I'm pleased with the quality of most of the photos.  I think I'm
finally getting used to the Canon 40D and a lot of its
features.  It's a very nice camera.  Best I've ever owned.  I'll be

using it, along with a rented 100-400mm "L Series" lens for WF.
I'm
gonna try to improve on the long-distance speed shots.  We'll see
what happens.  My worst fears are that I'll break it (I'm definitely
not gonna set it somewhere that the wind can sent it sailing...sorry
about that, Pork Pie) or that I'll like it so much that I'll have to
go buy one.  I really can't afford something like that as a
"whim"
purchase.  (Retail is $2400...Amazon sells 'em for $1400.)  So I'll
just take it back to the place I'm renting it for and bring all the
will power I can muster with me.  If I was still married, I spose a
wife would be a good way to keep from spending that money.  :)

Anyway, the WoS photos are here:
