Critique: NC:

I recently was hired by a client to take some shots of him lapping his Z06 around MSR Houston's track. There were some other great cars there as well, and it turned out to be a lot of fun! Here are a few samples of the photos, but if you'd like to see more photos and read more info about the track day, you can always check out my Blog

It's free to watch!

My husband ran the Shelby in the fall and I took pictures of that (tho never posted). HE gets to be the one to take pictures in April while I drive. So if you're there - I'll be in a red 2008 shelby GT 500 with white stripes. come say hi! :) Our friend Phil will be in his 2012 Red Shelby GT 500 w/ stripe delete too. Last time out there was a few lamborghinis, some Nissan GTRs, and some Audis. Lots of fun!

Great shots overall. Bet the client was happy. My only suggestion on the action/panning shots is to get the car more "entering" the frame than "leaving" the frame.

Great shots. #10. That seems like a dangerous spot to be standing. Second to last shot, the punched column is a dead giveaway that it must be stolen.

As long as you stand back by the building, and not right up against the fence, your ok. In fact, standing that close is just plain foolish, you can see where the fence hasn't been repaired from the first time someone drove over the top of the tires. They left it that way as a warning ;) Not to mention, you are standing in a hole . . .



Same corner... 300 + 1.4x :D
