I was shooting drag racing. Sometimes I shot profiles at the starting line with a 50. Other times I shot 3/4 front from about 100 feet down the track with a 135. Other times, I shot 7/8th front from about 200 feet with a 200. I had to mix it up a lot, because that's what the magazines wanted. Paul On Feb 15, 2007, at 7:59 PM, Kenneth Waller wrote:
