The Nikon D2H AT DAYTONA AT NIGHT

Equally impressive was its performance at night. In the murk of the less-well-lit areas of the track, the AF system seemed to work just as well as in broad daylight, with no hunting and locking onto the cars with no difficulty.

The incredible Nikon SB-800 flash made it easy to get the perfect combination of ambient light and fill flash. I have printed several shots from Daytona at 8" x 10" and 12" x 18" with an Epson 1270 printer. The results are absolutely gorgeous.

I also took the opportunity to try the in-camera noise reduction of the D2H.

Putting the camera on a tripod with my trusty Markins M20 tripod head, I did a series of exposures up to 20 seconds (the longest I could get without overexposing) of the cars coming around the track.

The results were truly amazing.
