2nd Annual Race of Champions, Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Pooler, Georgia
May 27th, 2005

All Photos taken with a Konica Revio KD-510z (a.k.a., Minolta DiMAGE G500). Cropped and Downsized for Web Viewing. Redeye Reduced in some Using Irfanview. Noise reduced using Noiseware from Imagenomic. No corrections to color, saturation, contrast, or brightness were made. Manual Focus (for example: 1m, 2m, 4m) used for all shots except for the race cars (where AF Lock and AE lock were used). Auto White Balance for all photos in this album. All shots were hand held.

Note that the camera defaults to ISO 100 and 1/60th second with flash, but I took the photos in this album using shutter speeds from 1/15 to 1/30 second at ISO 200 with the camera's built in flash, except for the photo of the race car that was taken at ISO 400 without flash.

Using ISO 200 at slower than default shutter speeds allows a bit more ambient light in the photos when using the flash, but sometimes results in motion blur and ghosts if light is too bright at shutter speeds this slow, as you can see in a few of these photos. ;-)
