Nice captures. What lens? Tip: get closer. Somehow I think we still missed out on the full atmosphere without motion video. Drifting can't be adequately conveyed with mere still images. ;)

Thanks for posting your images for us to see and share.

I agree with Onyx. Maybe you can crop closer using PS?

If there was a Citroen there, that would be similar to my wife leaving Mt. Ommaney shopping Centre on a Saturday morning :D

Cheers

lense is a 70-300G standard issue most at 300mm they wont let me into the middle of the track because i dont shoot for anyone. Most pics I thought filled the frame, with out cutting them in half..LoL
Thanks for looking.

Hello again - if you go to edit collection and then go to the pic you want to link you will see three tool bar access points: Properties - Images - Tools.

Hit images button and your pics will appear with three boxes - Filename - Desc: - Tools.

Under this you will see three more: Edit - User Comments - Buy Prints.

If you hit the edit button you will have a new window open and in one of the boxes it will say Link URL: This is the link you need.

When posting on this forum click the Img button then copy and paste the Link URL and then hit the img button again - et voila

Cheers

Chris

lkgrainger, a couple of ok pics.
however you should try to isolate your subject from the distracting bg when possible. i.e blur it, shooting from high about, etc.
try to add some motion in the wheels, sometimes it hard to tell whether the car is parked and doing a burnout or a powerdrift from a corner.

but you did a good job with using the 70-300.

some were just sitting
