Drag Racing

Any comments welcome, trying to get a bit better weekend by weekend

Any chance you can get closer to ground level weekend by weekend? :P
I like this picture, but I feel like it would've made the front end lifting seem even more intense if you were closer to level with the car. If I were to nitpick about this picture I'd say the lights in the top left are a tad distracting, but overall I like it.

AS cjef said, you need a better vantage point.. Try some from the front and on the next car from the rear. Then decide which you prefer shooting from front or rear.

I don't mind the lights in the upper left. I'd like to see the Christmas Tree a bit more, personally. Also, one weekend, try and stand around the 60' marker to catch the underside of the car during launch.

Thanks for the tips everyone

Yup, a lower and more frontal point of view would make a world of difference.

Another shot, comments please

2nd shot looks great,nice to see fellow bc guys on here,I'm from the okanagan,

I like how you got the striations on the rear wheels from the torque of them starting to go. The second is a much stronger shot due to the viewing location. If you would get track side and down the track a little bit, that angle would be fantastic for undercarriage and side by side car shots.
Also a tad bit more dangerous though as well.

Much better angle, but you cut off the car & the top half if the image is showing me a lot of crud that I have no interest in? If you're unsure about being able to keep the car in the frame at the start, then shoot a little wider angle & crop in afterwards.
