Hey my fellow photographers! Take a look at my photos and tell me what you think, I would appreciate any sort of comment or criticism anyone is willing to give me, so fire away.
As for a little background information:
Every year my very small town holds this demolition derby and its pretty much the most exciting thing that happens all year. So I packed up my Nikon D80 in hopes of getting a few action shots to add to my documentary of my town. You can check it out here Shelter From The Storm: McCune, Kansas if you would like.
Anyway, I found a few good positions to shoot from once I got there, though it was fairly difficult to shoot through the chain link fence. But I made it work as best I could. Overall it was a very fun event to shoot, and I was pretty happy with the results, but tell me what YOU think!
1.
With a wave of the green flag, the competitors take off in hopes to take home the cash prize of several hundred dollars
2.
Number 11 rips his car around, kicking up dust and then lines up for a smash
3.
This demo car has seen better days after it suddenly caught fire during a round, later sending the McCune fire crew out to tame it
4.
Two cars crash head on, making metal crunch and the crowd cheer
5.
This driver breaks his stick signifying he is out of the round because his car can no longer move, after receiving some serious blows that left his car in a mangled mess
6.
A demolition derby official keeps an eye on the arena making sure no one breaks the rules
7.
Number 88 pounds into the side of another car, sending it into the mud on its side
8.
Down to the final round, with the last two competitors still running. After an admirable showdown, number 13 finally can go no longer, making the driver on the left the winner
