Saturday was a lot of fun out at Baskerville Raceway. Managed a few photos, my plan for the day was to go for quality and variety over quantity. I only took 279 shots for the day and I was happy with quite a large portion of those. Here are a few of my favourites:







Hope you enjoy. Comments and critiques more than welcome.

Equipment used:
Canon 350D + 75-300mm EF (The standard kit body+lense)

I don't know how to critique, but I will comment. Comment that they look good, and I especially like the last one! It's great! Well done

I really like the angles you've picked for these photos!

#1 - detail is great, you can see the driver working at the wheel, smoke and side of the car is a little blown, but that's the thing with white cars Difficult to do. My only gripe is the wheels are not blurred enough to correlate to the smoke from the rear wheels.

#2 - great shot, would love to see a bit more of a blue on the rear wheels but that doesn't jump at me. The look in the drivers eyes, the angle of the shot, the angle of attack the car has, all good! He needed more smoke though

#3 - good angle, but this just doesn't work for me, the car looks like he is just sitting there.

#4 - This is drifting! This is the best shot of them all in my opinion! Great smoke, great sense of speed!

#5 - almost! Idea is fantastic and if you had the wheels blurred on the rear of the front car that would be the standout here!

Really good work! Can't wait to see some more.

Thank you so much for your comments, both of you.

Brett I completely agree with you in all areas. I would have loved to dial in a slower shutter for a lot of those shots but I feel that the rest of the sharpness of the pic suffers unless I am perpendicular to the subject. I really need a 70-200mm L series lense rather than the crap stock one!

Practice, even the crappy 75-300 or 90-300 lens can get it relatively sharp with good technique. And that lens is really good to practice with it something we all need to do, practice that is (specially me at the moment, with the crappy hit rate I had last weekend with the 'good' gear)...

As I said keep it up! Love some of the drift pics that are coming out!
