First time shooting 1/10th

[Karting]

A Selection of a few from today, i think i know what i need to improve on:

[U1timate PigDog]

Very nice pics, I almost missed the buggy up there in the second one lol.

Superb pictures

nice work, thats some serious airtime in that second pic. What were people landing on? The down side? Ill have a look at teh website for more track pics if you don't have any to post.

Is the track markings zip tied to the astro or is that a fire hose with sand they are tied to?

Hate to spoil the party but they aren't superb ;-)
They are 'ok' but could work on the following:

closer to the action
lower point of view
don't place the subject central when it's so tiny.
SHARPER images (watch shutter speeds and your focus points)
get off that 'action program' mode and use your camera more manual (Aperture priority or shutterspeed priority).
all info here:

Good luck!

Tend to agree somewhat with Cooper above. I don't know what camera or lens you have or if you have any photo editing software but if you could crop in on what you have here to remove some of the distracting backgrounds that would make these much better.

Good start though.

Im no expert but do like to play around

Here are a few of my pics from last year:

Nitro
THought that the pics 7+8 were a little cool. I got the first 3 cars on 3 different jumps then 3 cars on 3 different parts of the track

Electric only 2 pics as I was racing and marshall that day and most wern't that good

There are more pictures of their track on their website http://shrccc.co.uk.

Track marking was zip ties to the fire hose i believe

Landing on the down slope, whole jump is over 6m long.

Zip tied to the fire hose as we are not allowed to drill into the Tarmac underneath. Seems to work well with the addition of a few weights in selected places.
