drifting - pictures

I posted this in the South Wales forum, but thought it might be of interest to some of you here too.

Drifting at Llandow, South Wales:

I'd kill to have a go around that track.

Llandow - in 1984 you'd have seen me taking an Escort round there!

They had cars back in '84?

Some nice shots there.

IMHO a few of them could have done with a little more 'framing' (i.e. pull back a bit) and/or a slower shutter speed to give more sense of movement (not sure where you'd focus on a drifting car...usually it's the nose, but perhaps not...).


PS - what happened to the red E30 at the end there - how'd he get the rears airborne?!?

The lens is fixed at 300mm so I couldn't really zoom it in or out unfortunately. But, yeah, some of them could do with not being so tightly cropped. I was shooting through a tiny hole in a fence, so many came out awful - if at all

As for the E30, I think he just came around too quick. Bit of a mess in the end.
