This weekend I went to a drifting competition near Montreal. This race is part of a Canadian drifting championship, Driftmania
.
It was my first photoshoot with moving cars, and I gave some tries at a few panning shots... 
But my camera and the conditions (plus my novice knowledge) were limiting to me. My stock S2 IS (no filters) and a very sunny sky stopped me to go slower than 1/125 at F8 (even with EV set at -2), else it called for an overexposed result.
I still managed to get these:
#1
#2
Enough with panning (I don't have anymore "good" pans anyways
), here's more regular shots. (Most were set in P mode, too bad because the wheels are frozen in motion... no blur there 
I thought of this back home while sorting the pics on my computer 
)#3
#4 Semi-pan.
#5
#6
For the sake of 56k users (and to comply with the rules), the balance are linked:
#7
Similar to #2. Panning wasn't as successful, but I loved the smoke better on this one.#8
#9
#10
#11
Front wheel lockup.#12
Overtaken from the inside.#13
*cough* *cough*Canon guys
were present......and took some time to have a break
.C&C and tips are welcome. I know I have some trouble thinking ahead of the shot (framing, composition and focusing among others), but I'm open to suggestions.
