No, not those kind


I usually don't photograph this type of stuff but I thought this was kinda cute seeing kids 'milking' a cow.

I had dinner with my mother one day and she wanted me to take some pics of her flowers. I never took a picture of a flower before but this one came out nice



I prefer automotive photography, 90% of what I shoot. A few from Sunday (still going through all the pics):

artistic stuff~


typical panning shot. it was a small, tight lot so speeds were only ~ 40-45 mph so the background blur isn't as good as a larger solo II course. I generally use shutter speeds of 1/60 or 1/80 but I had to use 1/100 or 1/125 on this course.

 

Beautiful pictures.

 

Technically, those are udders.

The kids shot is nice, if you could have gotten down really low and gotten a face with that shot, it would be a lot stronger.

I really like the flowers - that wall art territory if you ask me.

I don't like the cone shot - the Corvette is too prominent to be out of focus imo. Maybe if you cropped most of the car out and really made the cone the subject.

The Bimmer is okay - thats a shot that needs a nice car or a nice background But good work tracking your subject at speed.

 

With solo II autocross lots, there's not you can do to control the background. In this case, it's a small parking lot of a grocery store. With only 1 good location to take side panning shots on the 'straightaway', this was it.

Without the shopping cart return location in the frame, it'll look like this but you'll still get the building in the background:


On larger, more open lots, it's much easier to shoot autocross since there are various locations to shoot from and longer straightaways.


I've taken over 50,000 pics over the years since moving to digital back in 1998. Of the 50k, about 40k have been of cars so I try and mix it up a bit. The C6 vette image was per the owner's request. Her husband wanted something with the car being blurred out and not being the main focal point in the image. If a paying customer is happy, that's all that matters =) There are infinite ways to frame a shot, some like 'em, others won't.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I like the cone pic a lot. The Corvette is blurred out, but not too blurred to not be able to tell what it is. Perfect.

 

cone pic +1

 

that flower shot is incredable!
