quote:With prior notice and a bit of marketing you might be able to make some decent cash shooting one.   That's the kind of shot you need to be able to pull off consistently to have any hope of sales. Middle aged guys in a parking lot actually are a harder sell - I know that from experience and hence why I don't bother and just do it for fun (plus I'm a motorsport nut). If you want to make money from motorsport you need access at big events - and believe me on this one, you need to be REALLY good to cover anything close to expenses. I do a lot of paid Triathlon and mountain bike work and frankly I have never scored anything like that money from motorsport unless I've been hired by a team to specifically shoot their car.

Night Drift event. An absolute bitch to get settings that work but..... got some okay shots? Admittedly low light shooting of car action isnt something I've done before esp with no flash.

Easychair Bootson posted:Formula 1 just posted a short video profiling a few photographers and some of their work. Pretty cool stuff. In all honestly there a fair bit of "yeah not bad but seems kinda sameish?" compared to that Rhys guy's pics. Most of his were superb and the guy really sounds like he is trying to do something different all the time Going back into my archive - two years ago, ten year old equipment. TBH hosed the pooch mostly by using AI Focus not AI Servo        - Need to go back and drop the exposure a bit/play with the highlights and brightness - Not actually a decent shot, more like hey wanna see somethign absurd being rallied?(Also been meaning to post more from that MTB race I did) quote:Moneyshot. Love it.

xzzy posted:I love shooting cars because I love cars, but I hate shooting them because they're so emotionless in a photo. Thats why I prefer drifting / rally. Flames, smoke, dust, poo poo flying...... altho if I can get the driver clearly that helps on tarmac Also rally organizers are accommodating to photographers esp if they know you. Not rally (this time)

So I used my new M6 mk II this weekend. First thirty shots werethrowaway. Next 30 were a mix but then..... (Straight out of the camera JPG, didn treally try to frame properly, I'm just working on the tracking)  Short version - I think my 7D mk II which I used back to back hits more but when the M6 II hits... it REALLY knocks it out of the park.

 Not going to think for one second most of the shots I got are attractive last weekend - but after having a good look, I think the M6 II actually beat the7D mk II for keepers and overall sharpness. The only real issue was touch to focus occasionally shifted focus points where I didn't want them. Not sure what was touching the screen to do that, just something to be careful about. Once I noted that happening, a bit more care lessened the issue.

DJExile posted:I'd imagine there's a way to disable the touch functions on the screen. That messed with me for a while. No setting as such but I worked out it was mostly my strap touching the screen.      Not artistic or of a lot of value but I am coming to grips with the M6 II. Did another back to back with the 7D II and 100-400 L II and once again better results. However while I didnt for one second care about the flying crap while using the 7D II, I was covering the M6 II all the time. Also... I *really* appreciated the extra weight trying to control the big rear end lens. I have not any panning as good as the 7D II as yet - mostly just due to tracking not set correctly and also not following the subject with the lens well (aka operator error) Soulex posted:I wish someone would answer my emails. I have been sending messages and the like to everywhere I can think of to find work. Not a whole lot out there. Hey yo I hear ya. It always comes in fits and bursts and people really dont reply :/. Keep forging forward tho, your photos are great
