Your compositions are pretty good but the overexposure is killing them.
I was shooting in shutter speed priority mode and trying to keep the F stop in the 7.1 - 11 range to keep things has sharp as I could since DOF isn't a huge worry in panning shots and I wanted to make sure I had a wide enough focus range as the cars were coming towards me.

Is there an easier way to get that accomplished than tweaking up the ISO some? I see what you are saying with the exposure.

So if you didn't bump up the ISO, your f-stop was going wider? I'm not sure how that's happening if it's bright midday sun. Either way, EXIF also says your Exposure Compensation was at +1, so I'd just turn that down to 0.

On that note though, you'd be surprised what a wide aperture can do for a panning shot...this one was 1/125 @ ƒ2.8:

Sick shot. Can someone please give me advice on the next lens i should buy. I was going to get a 50mm prime, but now I'm thinking I should invest in a good zoom. Help!

Well I fell into the "I'll take better shots if I just had this" sickness today...

Picking up my Nikkor 135 f2 tomorrow.

Any Canon suggestions that won't break the bank?

Thanks If you don't have any other lens right now, I highly recommend the 50mm ƒ1.8 because it's inexpensive and the fact that it's a prime will definitely help in developing your composition skills.

Good pickup. I had some good shots with that lens, but I 'm going to be waiting for an updated version

I'm just worried about doing portrait stuff with that lens, it might get tight indoors, unless I can find a 35 for the same price.

Well you typically wouldn't be doing portrait stuff with less than a 50mm anyway, since wide angles tend to distort. Nevertheless, there should be a Canon 35mm ƒ1.8 out there for decently cheap.

I will make the 50 my next purchase then! I do need a lens for racing season though, and good zooms are expensive!

If you want a decent telephoto lens that won't break the bank, Canon's 70-200mm ƒ4 is pretty damn good. But yes, quality glass overall is going to be expensive. Don't forget you can always rent lenses too

Picked up my new toy today. 135mm f2 Nikkor. It is crazy sharp and I can't wait to get some cars in front of it.



Test shot on Hans.

so we had rain in california, crazy times i know. lol anyway, any time we get clouds and storms i try to get out and shoot. same location ive shot at many times, with a different take on processing. i know the water running down the foreground kills it, but documenting clouds in Orange County is something else!

Awesome, I'm sure you'll enjoy that lens. It definitely is crazy sharp from what I remember!

I like everything but the angle of the car Processing is great and the clouds are epic...the car just kinda looks thrown in there though. Looks like there's some editing marks left over on the rear driver's tire area too.

Decided to wash the car yesterday and take some photos.

Comments desired (exposure, composition...).

Finally feel like I captured a level of sharpness that I'm happy with...except it was with the kit lens (18-105mm f/3.5-5.6) and not the 17-35mm f/2.8.

Plain old side shot. Don't think I've done one of the legacy before. Should it have been dead center of the frame?

Hey guys, went to an awesome time attack event today at Limerock Park in CT then did a little photo shoot. I think I got a few good shots, as always advice is welcome!








I have about 25 more, but I'll start off small with these in case you guys hate them.

Honestly not my favorite shot of yours. Lighting and composition doesn't seem as good as some of your other shots. If anything, I think it goes to show that the lens doesn't make the shot, the photographer does. I'm sure you'll take great shots with the lens, I just don't think that's one of them. It is a good shot. Just not great.
