Hey Little Vikie, WhasSup?
I like them, generally speaking. And I dont care for cars too much.
The pepole shot- like the dude with the flag, God Shot! but more of subject matter, excellent, more centered and more of car.... possible the driver in that shot or a lowered you and a higher subject, If possible get on knees for this one. I like this one alot. Shows the heat of the moment.... That is the one people will stick on for a minute. To see What? What is he doing, green flag = Go? He will be run over, or does he mean go right after he gets the dirt off the windshield or is this a pit dude? Still gonna get run over. =Good picture tells a story, sorta .... Wonder what the driver is doing, looking over his shoulder to see who is coming or is he in the Pole Position and is set to fly outta there.
Could some be sharper.... (maybe these are scanned?) Ordinarily I had to shot slides.
The VW is good I think more action in this picture would make it outstanding. Like more dirt and less front ... Same with the Saturn***
The red, wht, and lt blue car? Mustang or whatever, is really good. Crop it -only a hair- on the right side...or not... mat & frame. Copywrite and send to whoever.
Dunno what lens your are useing or how far, but you have got the shutter speed down and film. ...
On the blue car with the dudes in the garage. Ignore them and get on one knee and still have dudes in frame, by this time they will look at your happy ass, focus and shot, say Hi and scram. ( a little more car and less trash can) Then that shot is perfect.
You got it going on Vike, I think you have done really well conserving film and picking the shots to take.
I was lucky -like you- I worked in a camera store and had all the pros coming in and I got ideas from them. I worked in a Prof Camera store. Like Carl Zeisse, Hasselblahs and viewfinder stuff. Never could spell those. But everyone had a loop and walked around with coffee every Sat morning and Good Lord if the camera show was in town.... Mostly old blue hair guys from the old school.
****One thing about sports photography.... I shot many a roll of film only to ditch it. I think you are leading your shots, which is good. Your subject is moving. Therefore you may have shots with more in front of the car than you do in back. If you had more of the back of the car you wouldnt have a shot at all. You would have missed it. Follow me?
Me- I shot ramp skaters and surfers cause thats where I was anyway. At first the ramp skaters hated me. #1 - I was a girl. #2 I was a girl. #3 I wasnt Local. It took me hanging out and looking brilliant messing with my camera and hanging off the back of ramps and letting them get really freaking close. (I should have had on a helmet) After that they trusted me, before that my name was Target. forget em.... Shoot anyway... get in freaky positions,
Crap I am going to be late....... see attached, Ken Fillion -
Later of Orbit Punkish Fame, Still a pro skater today and a friend of mine.... This is before his hey day, almost - after I shot these .. These same guys show up in Transworld Skate mag......
