Drifting today

[kman]

First attempt at some at a drift day at Santa Pod, here are a few select images.

C&C welcome, though I already know a few of the images that I really liked seem slightly too static!

Would have been cool to see them purely side on from drifting, much like the last one.

Otherwise, well in!

Thanks I do have more side-on shots actually, heres a couple already uploaded:

Number 11 is the best from the set for me, maybe a slower shutter speed to get some motion blur would have been better

Yes you're I did go to 1/320 but maybe around 1/200 would have been perfect.

Here's a couple more:

Ferrari GT4?!?!?!

No.6 would be really nice with a a shower shutter to draw the background out a bit, to make it look less static....as it is the faster shutter shows the heat from the exhaust which looks really cool B)

Stew I agree WTF is a Ferrari doing there!
No.14 super

love the expression on the guys face in number 4 especially with the wheels spinning !

I would use lower than 200th sec for Drifting.This one is 125th sec.The cars are only going slow as they go sideways so 125thsec 100th sec gives best results.

thanks kestral, I do have some more shots taken at lower shutter speeds I haven't uploaded yet but I think I'l make some more trips to the Pod. Does anyone go here (to shoot?)

If you have a VR lens that also helps.I find it more difficult to do the Drifting shots and get a nice speed blur background than cars or bike going faster. I go to Santa Pod sometimes. To see photos go to http://iwantpics.co.uk/ there are some Drifting and Santa Pod on there.

Thanks some great pics there - I was using a VR lens guess I have to practice more!

I like the shot but looking at it again I got an idea to process it like it was a panned shot. I'm preferring this one to the original but C&C welcome:
