I love the people shots... especially 7800- such intensity!
The toy cars don't do much for me as subject matter but I can see why
you would ahve fun shooting them

Shot an on-roadl radio control scale auto race for fuel burning cars
yesterday. Mostly just to provide some pics for my old pals, but also
for the practice it provides. It’s far more difficult than shooting
real motorsports, as the cars are incredibly fast and not very big.
The fastest, the 1/8th scale cars, are about 15 inches long and can
accelerate to 60 in 2 seconds from a standing start. They top out at
about 80 mph at the end of the straightaway. I shot most of it at a
1/8000th shutter speed and concentrated on getting something in frame
and focused. I used continuous autofocus and it worked when I framed
the shots right. I tried a couple of slower shutter pans and
partially succeeded on one, although it’s not critically sharp. Hard
to be smooth, moving the camera that fast. Lots of fun in any case. A
