BLZeebub · 24-07-2008, 08:24

Mornin All,

Here at BLZeebub we've recently started taking pics of drifting and we're wondering what sort of pics you prefer? Is it head on, close-ups, statics, rear, front, smoke , no smoke, crash...... let us know and we'll promise to do better next time

In the meantime the gallery from Lydden at the weekend has been updated - theres a link from the site in the sig below.

Cheers

Nat

Smoke and angle!!!

Chris · 24-07-2008, 09:02

head on to the car smoke and angle and looking agressive!
Twinning so you can see how close they are.

Head to side on, lots of agle and smoke

Twinning is good too.
Close up and low down shots are cool too.

Crashing!

Captain Muppet · 24-07-2008, 09:23

Anything with the exposure time just right so that you can see the speed difference between front and rear wheels and the background is blured. I've got some where it looks like the car is just parked up on a track at a funny angle - no drama to that at all.

Also on the rack, smoke and either front wheel on the apex kerbing or rear wheel dirt dropping. Lots of cheering girls in the background too please.

Dunno. If they have an opinion they'll post it.

Or maybe just get really grumpy, say nothing is wrong and shout "I'm fine, stop asking!" in that agressive way they do just before leaving in a huff*

* sweeping statement based on a small sample of average women in the Norfolk area and are true for a given value of "grumpy". Other self inflicted psychological traumas are also available.

Hello mate

When we get to Lydd I'll take you out and you'll understand what people are looking for. Basically lots of angle, wheels turned as far as they go, and as much smoke as possible. Also either on the racing line, or very close to other cars if twinning. At Lydd we do 4 cars at a time

This is a pretty cool pic

Im not so sure,

My eyes are instantly drawn to Phils car as its smack bang in the pic and not on the bit of track that the guy has focused in on... which im guessing is where your meant to be looking?

I do like the simular one to the above that is longer, with phils car in the top left though

but the above just hurts my eyes lol

My fav pic of recent has to be this one, Smokey on lock stops (or v close to

)

That one, but generally anything with me in it

Any of Bolf or Paddys "touched up" work is exceptional and Ross and Mrs P are rather excellent too

Liking this one

There are lots of very good photographers in the UK drift scene. I think the key would be to stand out.

Ross takes awesome action/speed shots, IMHO he is the best at nice clean shots that capture the speed of drifting.

Bolf takes some awesome artistic wide-angle shots. The shots he took at Teeside where the cars look like little RC drift cars rank up amoungst my favourites.

Paddy is another one of my fave 'togs - some of his off track shots are awesome too, capturing the friendship/lifestyle of the drift scene. I like the shots he does of the drivers close up in the car whilst drifting too.

If you can do a little of each or maybe find a style which sets you apart from the rest that'd be ideal. I'm a fan of the artistic style where the drift car doesn't necessarily need to be slap bang in the middle of the picture at a certain angle. I like the shot of Phil out of focus too, although it would have been nice if there was a chunk of rubber/fibreglass or something where the focus is on that picture rather than an empty bit of tarmac.
