Back to Race Day

Barbed Wire
October 2007

My iTunes: The Great Escape (live) by Boys Like Girls

I found these as I was sifting....I have been doing a lot of that lately. Again...not sure why I have not posted them before now. I really like them. I snapped these at Talladega Motor Speedway when I was there for a NASCAR race last year. The barbed wire was going around the track.....to keep the rif -raf (like me) in maybe?

The bottom shot is all the semi's lined up....waiting to load up and go to the next race. These trucks were carrying all the merchandise for all the drivers and teams. This NASCAR is big business! Anyway, I hope you like these.

I've never been a fan of racing - but I like your photos of it.

I forgot that you were a big NASCAR fan. I've gotten interested in it in the last 5-6 years. I usually watch most of the races on TV, until football season starts again anyway.

The top photo immediately caught my eye because there's a gold gradient circle behind the fence, and the wire's shadow falls on the gold as if it's very close to it. Was there something that color that close to the fence, or did you add a colored background layer?

I haven't stopped by for a while, but just wanted to say that you've posted some really great shots!

Love the sepia and soft tones in today's pix.

Anna you weren't too awfully far from my home turf (Birmingham) when you were at Talladega.

Nice pics.

WOW. I love that picture of all the trucks lined up! It took me a second to figure out what it was, but that's one of the reasons I love it so much. :)

Cool barbed wire pic. Great color.

JAM said...

Both are really great. Love the truck shot. My older brother drove big rigs like that, not an easy job at all.

What a creative eye you have - just wonderful images. Strong and powerful with great lines! I must add you to my list of blogs to watch. Really nice work!!

Wow! I like these a lot. I am a nascar fan also, going to the Daytona 500 this weekend. These are very creative photos, not the usual photos you see from a NASCAR track.
