Should I keep the crappy cars?

[tecboy]

I had been shooting a lot at the drifting event. Most of the cars I shot are crappy. Few got beat up, few got bumps and dents. Few missing hoods and bumpers. These look more like the demolition derby instead of drifting. Are these worth keeping, or should I delete these?

Are they sexy?

Well, I actually like them all, they're interesting that way.

I wouldn't even consider deleting them.

I wish #5 was tack sharp and that I could ride it for a moment. I was googling "ride a car" to check my grammar and this I found:

How to Ride a Car

Automobiles were introduced in the late 1800's. They have been useful throughout the 20th century. Here is how to ride a car.

1. To ride a car, you can be a passenger. Either sit on the front or the back seat. If you ride cars with 2 seats like convertibles, there is only the front seat. Ride on the front seat.
2. Before riding, make sure to put on a seat belt.
3. If you are taking a long car trip, read the Related wikiHows below.
4. For classic and vintage cars be safe! There are no seat belts in vintage cars.
5. Wait until you have finished the car ride. Just enjoy the car ride.

Can't believe instruction

Good grief don't delete them! The only thing I delete when I'm shooting digitally are ones that are a total blur because I moved, or I hit the shutter release accidently when the camera was aimed at the floor, or something like that. Even if I don't use them, you never know; shooting film I'm used to having/keeping all my negatives, I just ignore the crappy ones.
.
If these were part of the event they show what happened. You got some interesting photos - who needs bumpers anyway? lol

 

[tecboy]

This one is sharp.

This one is sharp.

I like it the most, not just because it's sharp but the background is the most pleasing of all photos you've posted. great!

Agreed. I never delete anything either. Of course that's a large part of why I have over 65,000 photographs on this computer to

They mean something to the people that own the cars even if they mean nothing to you. See if they have a web site and offer them to the car owners. I did that after a drift event once, no charge of course, and there were a dozen or so guys who were thrilled to have shots of them driving.

...like Scott said,I save everything.All burned to disk.98% of 'em I couldn't care less about,other than I can look back to see where I might have improved.

 

[mmaria]

lol

You realize you build a drift car using a sledgehammer right?

These look like typical drift cars, im sure you'll be deleting 99% of you pictures if that's the reasoning behind deleting them.

 

[12sndsgood]

For drifting shots your getting the car in action not tr car at a car show. You only have a small percentage of nice cars at a drift event (10%) that are nice unless it's. Pro event. These aren't the greatest shots Not much angle to them really but I probably wouldn't delete them. I usually only delete the junk shots. These wouldn't be shown off or edited but kept in case someone came asking for them.

 

[gconnoyer]

I would delete them.
Crappy cars (worse than most beat to hell drift cars). Now, if they had a ton of smoke, angle, etc...I would keep them. But they all look like (besides 3) someone with a beat to **** car trying to slide it. Not actually drifting.

My take on it lol

C&C anyone?
