Wow... they sure give new meaning to the word "local." :)

You need to give more though to how you're going to isolate the car and lose the background. The one pan shot does a better job of telling the story of speed and drag racing. The others are a bit to lose and bave too much clutter. I don't mind the railing in the foreground... but the people "strolling" around on the starting grid and all the other "junk" don't add to the image.

thanks, unfortunately its a very small track, we are lucky it even stays open. they pretty much let people wander all over as long as they are behind the light.

any suggestions on how to get better staging shots? i only have a 300 right now so i cant get way down the track and get great results. i do have some more panning shots, i will have to post them at some point.
