Monterey Historics - a bit late to the party...

[Alex Bellus]

I'm pretty new around here but I've been lurking for awhile. I thought I'd share some of my pics from the Historics with everyone here. It was my first time shooting at Laguna Seca and I had a lot of fun trying to find unique angles to shoot from. I'm open to any and all CC so let me know what I should do differently next time.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think.

#7 is my favorite. #1 would be really nice with more room in front of the car. The shade on the back is a nice touch, the car just needs some room to run.

Also, try to keep the exif data intact.

Some good shot Alex, don't know if it my monitor or if the images are a tad on the overexposed side. What was the outcome on #4, did he save it?

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Sevan, I think you're right about a few shots being overexposed. I guess I got a bit carried away in PP. As for the Ferrari in #4, he saved it. He had plenty of run-off room and slowed down enough to get back on track without spinning.

Technically a nice set of images, but I feel like I'm missing Laguna Seca from the images. Most of the shots feel too tight or are framed in a way which eliminates most of the environment. Laguna Seca is such a beautiful track that you should really try to bring the charm of the track into your compositions. I'm not saying that you shouldn't shoot tight for some shots, but it is nice to have variety and let the viewer know where they are at and use the track to your advantage. 1, 7, and 8 are my favorites - just wish you didn't have the foreground blurry thing in 8. Overall though, some really nice stuff.
