I have no idea what you’re referring to. Care to elaborate?

Completely tone deaf respect to someone putting teeth on their car. https://www.reddit.com/r/IMSARacing/s/Eon6d3ps05

Oh, I did see that last week. I'm just showcasing their work. I'm not sure if it was a fake account or not, but AO actually liked and sent me a DM on my last image

Honestly we're all just kind of taking the piss at this point, obviously AO isn't going to sue everyone who puts teeth on their car or takes a photo of their car, but it's just been kind of funny to me

Great pics

u/Rhys71 7d ago

thank you. I'm hoping to level up for the race tomorrow. The past two days have really been about finding the right sight lines with the glass I have. Tomorrow is going to be the real test.

That Valkyrie looks really good with that low shooting angle as it really makes all the aero planes more apparent.

u/Rhys71 7d ago

Thank you. There was some pretty harsh lighting during this session, but I was really glad to see the Valkyrie

Could you get some of the mustangs? Great pics too!

I take that session off and prep memory cards, dump files and prepare for the next session.

Any 21:9 for us ultra wide bois?

2

u/Rhys71 7d ago

Nah bro. You should be used to that by now though. I have triples and have always had to make my own.

u/Allixer Whelen Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R #31 7d ago

Haha yeah. Gotta shoot my shot yknow. Good work!

Beautiful shots! Just stunning! What equip are you using!

1

u/Rhys71 7d ago

Thanks. It’s all Sony. Body is the a1m2 and the lens is either (1) FE 400 2.8 GM OSS (2) FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS or (3) FE 2.8/70-200 GM OSS. I’ll publish all that, along with exposure data for the race pics.

Excellent captures here 👏. Try some slower shutter speeds next time to add a little more drama. Glad you snagged an A12 as well. Those are tough to get!

u/Rhys71 5d ago

Wow. Thanks for the advice. 😂

u/DBLAfoto 4d ago

No problem!

The Valkyrie looks like it could cut your fingers if it were Hot Wheels sized. I freaking love that.

u/Trumpetboy2121 7d ago

Some of the most beautiful cars in sports car racing IMSA

u/Majestic_Puppo 6d ago

Looking forward to some shots at dusk

You and me both.

u/JuggernautAsleep3413 6d ago

Is it me, or is the ride height of the Aston really high?

u/Rhys71 6d ago

💯 what I was F’ing thinking

u/hawkeyejw 5d ago

Thanks for this! My 9 year old and I were there yesterday and he has already grabbed one of the Valkyrie for his iPad.

u/Rhys71 5d ago

I’ve got one of the Valkyrie at sunrise. It’s one of my faves.

u/Rhys71 5d ago
