Prodrift Season 2007 so far ...

[Paddy McGrath]

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I've been on here, only recently found my bookmark so really wanted to get back on here as everytime I look through the threads its just a wealth of information & each and everytime my mouth is left hanging !

I'm just displaying 5 shots from our Prodrift Season so far. This season I've been trying to create my own style or at least something that could identify my work apart from the other photographers I shoot with. It is more of an art based look, as opposed to an exact replication of the day at hand.

Anyways, have a browse and please post any C&C !

Cheers !

I really like 1 and 2....the shooting location on 2 is especially good.

Do you ever shoot not on an angle?

I try not to but usually find myself doing it anyway, I don't know if its out of habit or if I just find the camera more comfortable ? I do find that I can fit more car in the frame from corner to opposing corner thatn from side to side ...

#1 is really nice AND, the angle shooting actually powers the shot. Nice lines to it and accentuates the action.

The rest... not so much. To me, the angle looks gratuitous and sloppy. Backgrounds are distracting... just not enough motion. #3 & #4 look parked.
