After posting a number of questions and reading repsonses to questions posted by others I had my first attempt at Motorsport Photogrpahy today :bang:

I need your help... Overall for a first attempt I am relatively happy, I did take a lot of photo's and the large majority were nt even worth posting but that was only to be expected.

I tried to get blur into all the shots but did not get the level of blue shown in a load of examples but I think that is mainly down to lack of technique. I did try and get feet straight twist body, lock on to the car early etc..

The two main other problems I had were:

  • Bad glare on certain points of the car even though it was over cast
  • Not all of the car being in focus (usually 2/3rds of the car in focus), I'm guessing wrong F number?

If anyone could take a moment to have a look and suggest what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate it. I am eager to learn different aspects of Photography, I leanr best when someone can physically show me waht I'm doing/not doing so as much criticism or help on here would be really appreciated.

I've posted the picks here, please not these are the best of a large bunch. I haven't posted any of the really bad ones (majority of shots) as there is no point lol. Maybe it wasn't the best day to try and shoot in Manual mode for the first time :shrug:

Thanks in advance.
