It's all about
1: having talent (you have it)
2: proper material (you have it)
3: doing it alot (you're working on it)
4: being critic for yourself (you'll do it automatically when you have to go over a billion zillion photo's after every meeting) Only keep the coolest or photo's from cars of people who asked you to photograph their cars.
The difference between a random picture and a cool picture will be in the details 
Dirt flying is cool, cars crashing is cool, more than just 1 car on a photo is cool.
It has become "easy" for me to just shoot a car when it hits a corner. It is alot nicer to have that same car with the one following him in the background .
One thing is important, try to have fun! You will never get any money for it, just give people a nice remembering of their raceday.

I've just did the Euro's for the french/international website 'PetitRC' and those pic's are here: http://www.petitrc.com/_forumphp//sh...ad.php?t=45535
Good luck ! |
I really really appreciate all the advice, i totally agree with everything you said.
Yea, i agree the corner shots getting a little boring. Jumps are ok but like the corner shots, it gets boring. Crashes and battles is what i really want to work on. Crashes and battles are less predictable then corners and jumps?
So whats your technique? Just push the shutter and hope it focuses quick enough to capture the action?
For corners and jumps, i usually pre-focus in the area i plan on shooting and when the car is near i complete the focus on it.
I still get alot of out of focus cars... but i guess that happens alot in this type of photography. HAHA
Thanks so much!!!!
Panzer: really digging your photos, thanks for the compliment.
