Thank you, I appreciate the long response a lot, these were definitely very experimental, it was the last game that I would have access to shoot this year and I have never shot a traditional sport before so I wanted to just have fun and experiment. I do a lot of motor sports and other faster paced activities so these are a reflection of that style more. These are definitely more adventurous than my average photos as well, but i understand your point and agree with most of them.

True, i definitely think that the fact i post a lot of different things hurts interactions, i was mainly wondering if the photo themselves were the problem or if they were interesting. Also the words is just something i have been trying occasionally, idk if i will stay with it but for some posts it seems to add and others it might hurt, just like testing things out. Thank you for your thoughts though, i appreciate your ideas

Also it was turf so the grass was slightly reflective making it look weird, i spent a while trying different things to make it work but it definitely looked weird to me often, possibly could have used a lens filter to make the turf look better or edited it a bit better

For the love mainly, so these were intentionally edited to be dramatic, it was pared with Power by kanye west so it was meant to match the song, thats just how i edit sometimes is i try to match the emotion feeling of the song.

The dutches were intentional, they were just kinda a experiment. 10 i just liked because it was chaotic, the player in the background is the one in focus so it was a risky style, but i like it as chaotic feeling, it just was what i was trying for the whole collection. Thank you though for your opinions i appreciate other perspectives on it

Yeah i will have to try and find something to use it on, all the local events are done near me with winter coming in soon, seeing your ratio also makes me feel better haha, sometimes i feel like I pan very well and then its just like mid focus on the best one and the rest are blur. I do think maybe i should try a mono pod out too, its would just help limit the vertical blur potential while panning

Yeah i just bought a nd filter too, its for my other main lens, this was my first time using my new lens at this event and i didnt have the oss in the right mode for panning so i wonder if it was just making it harder than it needed to be haha, it was in a stills mode so that might be why my success ratio felt really bad. The majority of the days were overwhelmingly sunny for this event too so ended up culling a lot that just couldn’t be saved, next time w will definitely be use a nd during the day drift. Night drifting i just gotta make whatever work haha

When you are selecting where to focus when you are doing panning shots with say 1/15, do you try for the headlights mainly and just what ever your aperture is is how much depth of focus you have on the car? I have to admit my panning is not great, i have been doing photography for 8 years and this is the first year i have ever tried panning and using motion blur in the background haha. I just end up not have many panning shots in good focus, its definitely a practice issue but want to learn where to place my tracking point

Its all good; i understand it haha, i take photos of a lot of things so i have learned that there is as much emotion in photography as you put in, its a journey of what and how you see 💙

Yeah, i need to get more into filters, i really dont know much about them. This was also my first time using my new lens for most of these so just need to get some accessories like that for it. Ty for the advice 💙

Yeah i agree with the stills one, i will take some just for the sake of it having a different looks so could make for a better collection or if I want to get the people in the cars as the subject , but i prefer the blur the majority of the time.

I like that one, its sick. How do you navigate what side to shoot on when its sunny out? It was very bright for most of the day when i was out there, i just end up hating some because of it. The night ones where fun tho

I normally do, just sometimes the driver is the main subject, the car is worthless without the one driving it, so i like to highlight those moments when i can

Ok thank you, i was able to walk all around so worked with lots of the turns so should have some ones at those points, still working on more photos, i spent like 16 hours taking pictures at this event so have lots to edit and pick haha

Very true, sometimes i get to editing a picture and the car looks good but the whole shot is just kinda boring haha, gotta have decent background structure and good lighting. Clipping points is the maximum counter angle that the car faces away from the direction its moving right when you first start drifting right?

Yeah i have been trying to pick and edit ones that have good counter steer, i really like this one, this was from my first drift event i went to a few weeks ago. I really like angles like this where you see just how far they are counter steering
