Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I'll be renting a lens in a few weeks to take to the race track to shoot DHs car and his employees car. I will also be using the lens for a session the next day. I'm thinking about a wide angle lens but would like to see any shots taken with with one.
 
For cars on a race track you would want a telephoto lens, not a wide angle. People who routinely shoot car racing use lenses in the 400 mm+ range.

Using a wide angle lens the cars will be quite small in the photo.

Wide angle lenses are typically used for landscape images and they distort peoples facial features if used for portraiture.

Here is a thread I started that has a series of photos I made with a wide angle lens set to 12 mm. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-gallery/206956-corn-today.html

The lens was Nikon's AF-S 12-24 mm f/4G.
 
I have to agree with Kmh. 99% of my wide angle shots are of landscapes or i've used it to get a certain effect when photography cars.
