I would be very grateful for some constructive feedback for these rally

shots. Or at least what you like or dislike in them Thanks.

Well I have shot motorsport for quite a long time and I've learned a few basic things. Let's consider that you get the technical things right. To make a good motorsport shot the first thing is to find the best vantage points. it usually requires walking around the track and evaluating the backgrounds. Basically the cars look always similar in the photos and thus it is the car/background combination that makes the difference. Second, you need to tell a stroy about the driving. This means showing a bit of the road and the driving line thru the corners (you can see it here). If it is sunny, keep the sun behind your back (mostly). Usually shooting from low vantage point produces more dynamic shots (see thru the ride height). It's a common problem of motorsport shots that all photos have already been taken a thousand times.

If you want a really good benchmarks look at Regis Lefebure, the legendary Klemantaski collection and in rallying the top one is McKlein for whom I am privileged to have worked for.

Another great shot! Very good work...max anon. Best regards

Juha: Thanks for your time and for the help. I'm still learning to get the techinque right ;D On this track i tried three different spots to shoot and on my eyes this was the best spot. Sense i can't get everywhere i have to stay on the spectators places. That limits little bit for the best shooting points but i'll try my best to find new perspectives for them. I did a bunch of these shots with a close-up method so there would be only the car seen and not the area around it. And i preffer this kind of where the road is seen a bit more and the area also. But i still have to learn more of this, and how to compose the roads on the shots. I noticed the meaning of the sun after first event i ever did (early this year). Almost every shot was totally crap because of the sun, this event i did with a sun on my backside but this particular shot has the sun on the left side, half cloudy day and i noticed that the shots were better when the sun was behind the clouds. I've also tried to look lower points to shoot but these event don't usually give it (spectator safe areas), but i'll look for it harder next time. You're right that this category is a hard one because these images has already been taken several times before. For me it's a fun time and hopefully getting better in time. Thanks for the links, i will probably use couple hours to browse them thru.

Diego: Thanks for commenting, really appreciated.

Vehicle incredibly unswathed! Very nice capture. Best Regards. Glauco. (Max anon.)

Thanks Glauco... running out of the event for this year. Might be snowing next time i get to shoot these next time.

Beautiful shot.
