p.1 #1 · Pushed...Dirt Track racing


Well I took Marty's advice and pushed myself to get other shots. As always C&C very welcomed.

1. I wanted to single the car out as it waited for Qualifying. The jobs of the crew were all done, it's all in the driver's hands. Each and every car and driver sits alone waiting. Right now I don't have the settings, I left my external HD at the shop.

2. She was sitting on one of the team's 4-wheeler.

3. Chris Ferguson just set fastest time with about 15 more cars to go. He sat like this and watched each car till he won the pole. The only car to get under 16 seconds with a 15.92

4. The race was the Skyler Trull Memorial. Skyler was a 4 1/2 year old that passed due to Leukemia just days before her Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World in 2000. Before the start of each Skyler Trull Memorial balloons are release. Here Allison Ferguson, who filled over 500, points up as the balloons rise, beside Skyler's Father, Larry.

5. He climbed the wall, nearly flipped.

6. Side by side racing

Most night action shots were done around ISO 3200, 1/100th and f2.8

Glen, I will critique them from my perspective.
#1. I don't like the pole growing out of the roof and the photo does not tell a story just looking at it.
#2. Pretty girl, great expression, nice light. Excellent.
#3. A nice head shot but maybe a jube shot would be better to go with the fact that he won the pole.
#4. I would crop it tighter on the subjects.
#5. Nice shot! I like how the guy on the wall is in focus and the cars in the foreground are not.
#6. Nice race shot.

I agree on #1 Mike. Truth is I didn't even see the pole till after I got the shot.
Thank you on #2 and I do have Chris getting the plaque on #3 in another shot not shown here. I again agree on #4. Not cropping in close is one of my bad habits, thank you for pushing me.

Thank you so much for the help...I really do appreciate it.

I have learned so much here on FM because of the people who took time to comment, it feels good to pay it forward.
