I've never done any serious action shots, and since nobody has really started any athletics in my area yet, I had one of my friends drive his Subaru on some of the local dirt roads to kind of give the rally feel of what the higher end Impreza STi does.
These are my fist attempts at taking real shots of cars, and IMO, they are a total disaster for 3 reasons:
1. I don’t entirely know what I’m doing when it comes to stuff like this .
2. I’m on 35mm so this is bad enough for experimentation so this whole thing was a guessing game, and I didn’t really know when my shots came out wrong until they were developed.
3. I’m using a manual focus camera so about 80% of the shots on the roll were out of focus. Damn.
When I buy a D70 soon, I’m going to try this again and (hopefully) be more successful.
IMO, these are the only ones that came out OK. I’m still not satisfied, but oh well. They look much better in B+W than they do color, so I converted most of them in Photoshop. Tell me what you think!
All of these images were taken with my 80-200mm using Kodak Elitechrome ISO100 slide film.
And of course, all images are ok to edit!
