DOOOORIFUTO

Went to watch the drifting at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. Borrowed my roommate's 100-300mm lens. I was hand-holding the entire time, and most of my shots turned out blurry. I don't really have any experience with any other lenses besides my trusty ol' kit lens. However, I like the way these turned out. C&C appreciated!

lol the people look so bored

lol good shots, but boring sport by the looks of the people on the stand lol

Hahaha, believe it or not, I think that last shot was during the Bikini contest.

I have watched some of "the kids" drifting in the parking lots (and getting chased off by the cops) and it's an interesting sport. It's more of a sight, sound, smell kind of display than most motorsports, because the cars stay so close. But..in looking at drifting photos, I have yet to see a series that really captures what is going on.

Not that I'm picking on you, I just think it's a hard sport to translate to still photography. Maybe I have missed them, but I have not seen an outstanding series that really illustrates the sport.

The third one is the best, but it would have greatly benefited from a closer shot lower to the ground and further to the right of the car (like a 3/4) view

now if the background was blurred...and the car wasnt, youll get the effect you want

pan with the cars' movements
