My coverage of the Mitty 2011 at Road Atlanta (TONS of pics)

[DSLR noob]

This was a wonderful event. I was covering this for Mazda, so please excuse the large amount of bias towards pictures of mostly Mazdas. I was trying to capture the feeling of actually being at the event for those who were not able to make it out. I know there are a ton of photos here but feel free to comment on anything you think may help me improve.

Looks like a fun show. I would say (with my limited experience) that the backgrounds are a bit busy (not your fault), but the close-ups are very nice.

 

[o hey tyler]

You weren't joking when you said "Tons of pics".

[Robin Usagani]

No toyotas?

 

[DSLR noob]

There are pictures of a few Toyotas, but I have reached my Flick free account limit. After I have spent the money on my higher priorities this month, I'll upgrade. I took over 900 photos, and have edited through 300 of them. The 144 pics in this thread are what I have thus far in my "keeper" pile (not bad that my keep to throw away rate is roughly 50%, it has taken ages to achieve a percentage that high). I really don't expect this thread to do too well because people don't like scrolling through this many photos, but thanks to you who did glance through them, I hope they were at the very least mildly enjoyable.

 

[Aye-non Oh-non Imus]

I'm sure that you had fun on the day and I am glad that your keeper rate is at 2:1. You certainly documented the event.

No offense intended, but in all honesty, this is in the top 1% of the most boring threads I've ever seen for auto photos.

 

[DSLR noob]

Is it the overload of pictures? Or do you feel something is missing in the photos? I take no offense to criticism but that is hardly constructive.

 

[o hey tyler]

Is it the overload of pictures?

Yes.

 

[Fishpaste]

I agree. These may all be keepers, but it's best to show only your top five favorite (but I'm guilty of going overboard as well).

[lyonsroar]

Is it the overload of pictures? Or do you feel something is missing in the photos? I take no offense to criticism but that is hardly constructive.

For me it was the "documentary" style. It's almost like you went car to car just taking photos without regard for framing or background elements.
Just my $.02.
