Great panning, there's good skill there, although i still don't get the point of 'drifting.' Circuit racing - yes, 1/4 mile top fuelers- yes, drifting -no. Perhaps one day it will just 'click' and i will understand.

Well captured - I'm not a big fan of the angled shot, but they make the cars look impressive, and I bet the owners like it!

I'm with Killa though, if you're gonna drift, do it on dirt ;)

Great action shot... Must admit while I couldn't watch it, it would be a ball to do... Oh, in someone elses car though... :lol:

Hey - Great shot! :D
I think the blur of the dirt/bitumen in the foreground really makes this pic - it gives a real feeling of speed.
Cheers, K

the main reason why i like photographing drift because its very different from mainstream car racing whether it prac or qua it still looks good.

Nice one redline :D

I like watching drifting but don't like the "dorifto" attitude that seems to have overtaken a lot of young-er drivers. The only reason why drifting has caught on is because of Initial D (anime series), which I'm a fan of. I'm not going to go into it 'cos I'll just open a big can of worms :P

Do you have any photos from the w/end that weren't on the angle? :)

Not taking anything away from the OP's pictures, it is easier to capture a car drifting than a car accelerating or cornering at high speed.

I would like to see 2 cars drifitng together and seeing the slim gap between them. Drifting is not easy trust me on this one.
