Is this the car you're thinking of? I believe this car is owned by Pete Giddings, the former weatherman for KGO TV here in SF.
edit: here's some history on this car: http://www.corsarossa.com/index.asp?inc=1998-10nl My photo is from the 2007 Monterey Historic Races (taken from the BMW-CCA corral over by turn 5).
Nice, but I would have focused on the left side of the snow. The orange "thing" causes your eye to go to that unfocused section.
From my recent trip to SF. C&C always welcome.

Since we're on the topic of old Ferrari's, here are a few shots I took of a 166 Spyder Corsa, no. 004C, believed to be the oldest complete and original Ferrari in existance:

Good job capturing the moment of the cracked bat. I'm curious to know why you decided to go with ISO 1600, especially since you were at 1/800 sec and 250mm. I would think you could get away with lower ISO and about 1/400 sec. I have the same camera as you, but I don't have any lens that can hit that focal length, hence the curiosity.

pdxflint, your photo of G.Knight is my favourite from this thread for many, many months. Such a wonderful, lovely, and touching capture.
I remember a picture that Freebooter posted, of two young girls looking into the camera, that I just sat and looked at, for, as they say, the longest time!
This affects me in a similar manner. It's really beautiful.

I took about 500 shots at the game varying the shutter, and ISO. I found that 1/400th/1/320th was too slow to capture the action at the speed I wanted, using 1/800th I could get about 3 frames from the pitchers throw to the ball being hit and this allowed me to capture the shot. The shot above at ISO 1600 was about 2 stops under-exposed and I had to brighten it up in lightroom.
Shooting at ISO 800 did not allow me to get a shot below 1/120 at that time of day (night), here is an example of ISO 1600, 1/320 from the same game a few minutes before the previous shot:
Many thanks for the explanation! I've never done any sports shooting, so this is all really good information for me. My thing is statues, actually, and they tend to move very slowly.
Boiler Room of the USS Cassin Young, a WWII and Korea-era Destroyer. I love the colors in here, so I thought I'd post. No post-processing.
