went to a track day yesterday with a friend. He drove, I shot. Mainly wanted to shoot at a track where it's flat and boring and work on my creativity and see if I can find different angles to make things less boring. Flat track with not many landmarks made for a heckuva time trying to find interesting backdrops to compliment the cars.
C&C please.

Nice & different the only thing is just a little to much flare in number 8

The problem with track days is that people don't want "arty" shots as in #1.

What they want is either a frame full of their own car for a print / desktop or that elusive shot of their car with 2 or 3 others behind so it looks like they're racing..

Then there's the problem of enquiries turning into actual sales which is an issue in itself :D

#4 and the last one are my favs. try cayuga next time its the flattest most boring track around. nice shots though, very creative i think you got what you were looking for.

Port shots and sellable shots are totally different, I'd agree 100% :D

gkwood: that big flare on 7 killed it IMO :( Otherwise, it'd be fairly decent.

zacm7: I was going to go on saturday, until I realise they charge admission for spectators :lol: Only time I'd pay to watch racing is if it's ALMS or F1 :lol:
