RX-8 Shoot, C&C appreciated!

Friend took me for a drive and I just happened to bring my camera! >< Try to ignore the vignetting in the second picture, my filter was causing vignetting and I didn't notice until I uploaded it. And I also don't know how to fix it. And also, same thing with the poles coming out of the car in the first picture... Didn't notice that till I uploaded it too.. C&C is greatly appreciated!

Awesome shots.
Nice ride. I tried drifting one of these but the stupid stabilizer is difficult to turn off. Had to chip the ecu and re-tune the darn thing haha.
They ride beautifully though.
Keep up the good work.

Nice photos. I think #1 would be better with an angle more to the left though.

edit:
and if 3 was maybe lower angle

You had a LOT of potential for a GREAT shot in #1, but "And also, same thing with the poles coming out of the car in the first picture... Didn't notice that till I uploaded it too.."? C'mon, really?
Just think what a nice shot you would have had if you'd taken 30 seconds to look at everything in the viewfinder first?

x.X I don't really have an eye for compositional errors yet. Like poles and cutting limbs off and stuff, I don't notice it or even have those kind of things in mind until I upload and inspect the picture. >< But I definitely need to work on things like that. And I SHOULD spend more time looking through the viewfinder before taking the picture too...

You know what you did wrong in #1. Hopefully, now that you've seen how this can ruin a perfectly good shot, you'll start to look for these things when composing.

You've got a pole in #3 as well. It's a highlight against a dark background so it does draw the eye. Should be easy to edit that one though.

last one is the best by far. i agree with everyone else, just be more aware of whats around the car when you're composing and you'll get much cleaner shots.

keep shooting!

Hmm i guess i gotta go back up to santa anita mountains to do a shoot again. Most of my friends who took shots up there have that pole sticking out of their cars. Probably go in a couple of days since the weather has been nice lately.

Thanks guys! Strangely, the owner of the car likes the poles..
And like sr20alex said, the weather has been real nice! Maybe I'll ask him for a re-shoot sometime this week. Keeping aware of poles this time.. :P

not bad, i can edit out the photos for you if you want...

Hmm, think it would be cool if i go up and practice with you? Of course in my car I drive a lexus sc300

@Johnny_k1 Nah, it's alright.Thanks for the offer though!

@sr20alex I'll PM you!

I always wanted to do what you did with your second shot, just never got the chance. Overall, I really like the last shot. The angle and curves of the highway are just right for me.

I love how you merge the second photo.
