[QUOTE="Stangman98, post: 129862, member: 8647"] Ok I am going to give my feedback on it. 1. Patience. Let the car really fill your frame so you won't have to crop it. The car should be the focus point when I look at the photo. You don't want to be distracted by other things going on unless they are related to the car. 2. STOP VINETTE! It looks terrible and takes away from your photos. Are you doing it to fill in the space that doesn't have anything in it? If so then look back at #1 and how to address that. 3. When shooting anything I reccomend shooting RAW. If you are using Lightroom there is ZERO reason not to shoot in RAW. It allows for better editing also. 4. Learn to shoot manual. Some will argue with me on this, but if you want quality shots when shooting motorsports there is no better way. 5. My settings for that would have been Manual, Matrix Metering, F/As low as you can go, Speed 1/250, Auto WB, CH mode, Vibration Reduction on. 6. Don't get discourged. My stuff SUCKED when I first started shooting motorsports. Just keep practicing. Talk to others that shoot rally/hill climb stuff. 7. Learn the location. Learn what the lighting is where you are going to be if possible. For instance, I know that there are tracks that I can't shoot head on starting line from such and such a time because of the glare of the sun on a clear day. 8. Keep us up to date on how it's going!
