Motorsports in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes

I promise I'll get back to South Dakota images soon, but for now here's some auto racing from Elko Speedway in Minnesota.

Shooting things just for fun frees up the creativity to try things that might not work in other photos. With fast-moving brightly-colored cars in dim lighting, camera settings and techniques fall into that "creative" space. A slow shutter speed, panning with the cars and then just a "little bit" of over-saturation in Photoshop yielded these fun images.
