WetLeather Motorcycle Rider Information

I got the latest issue of American Photo last night.  Was in a baggy case it included an advertisement.  It was a 20"x30" double-sided poster ad for the new Nikon D3.  On one side is a collage of D3s making some kind of star.  On the other is a shot of motorcyclists at a race track.  A smaller cropped version in the back cover of AP.  It's at the edge of the track using the 18mm-24mm lense.  The lead rider just about fills the frame.  Has his knee down with a slider throwing sparks.  In the background he is being chased by two Kawasaki 600s, a Honda, and some others.  If I was given an actual print of this shot I would absolutely hang it.

 Long winded but the point is I looked at the fine print.  It was shot at dusk, 1/5000, F4, 6400ASA.  The Idiots of the Internet have been whining about grain on a camera they do not have.  This poster has far less grain than a roll of T-max 3200 I just shot.  No way I could blow up any of my shots to 20"x30".  I am amazed.  There was a website that went with it I'll try and post that tonight.
