Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:12 pmPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:42 pmGreat panning, there's good skill there, although i still don't get the point of 'drifting.' Circuit racing - yes, 1/4 mile top fuelers- yes, drifting -no. Perhaps one day it will just 'click' and i will understand.
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:47 pmWell captured - I'm not a big fan of the angled shot, but they make the cars look impressive, and I bet the owners like it!
I'm with Killa though, if you're gonna drift, do it on dirt

Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:19 pmHey - Great shot! 
I think the blur of the dirt/bitumen in the foreground really makes this pic - it gives a real feeling of speed.
Cheers, K

I've liked the sport since I first seen it last year.
you can see some pics from Queensland raceway on my site.

its the 80-200 Kevin
the main reason why i like photographing drift because its very different from mainstream car racing whether it prac or qua it still looks good.
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:46 pmNice one redline
I like watching drifting but don't like the "dorifto" attitude that seems to have overtaken a lot of young-er drivers. The only reason why drifting has caught on is because of Initial D (anime series), which I'm a fan of. I'm not going to go into it 'cos I'll just open a big can of worms
Do you have any photos from the w/end that weren't on the angle?

Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2005 1:49 amNot taking anything away from the OP's pictures, it is easier to capture a car drifting than a car accelerating or cornering at high speed.
I would like to see 2 cars drifitng together and seeing the slim gap between them. Drifting is not easy trust me on this one.
