drift [tilted images warning]

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Just a friendly reminder that Pixspot and the forums don't play nicely. Search and you'll find plenty of alternatives listed (smug smug, flickr, photobucket etc).

Are the tilted images more favoured by the drifting community? or is that just how you like them.

They're good well captured images but just wondering about the tiltedness
Are we there yet?

Nice pics Redline. One thing I've noticed about the drift scene is that hardly anyone drifts with a full car intact (ie. with front bar attached). I understand they need as much as as they can get for the FMIC esp on a hot day in Winton, but far out it just makes it look like farmyard bush bashing on a race track and using Japanese cars instead of utes and other traditional bushbashing vehicles.

Nothing wrong with your pics, just my observation of the drift scene here :)

yeah it was a practice session, i guess most ppl don't want their front bars to fly off as they drift so they remove them.

nothing on the standard of photos, but drifting pictures really do nothing for me. That and the cars are always ratty with dents and bits missing. Not the ideal photogenic subject. Option videos I could watch all day.

That all said you did a good job capturing the action, the R32 going bush and silvia shot are the most appealing due the feeling of movement. I would aim that way on the day of the event.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

bit o bog and that R32 line should come up a pearler for resale. lol - jks


I liked these shots - and I think the battle worn beasts have more character than the sparkling show cars I'm too used to seeing lapping the city.
