let me know what you guys think, she wants to be a professional photographer one day

[EnjoiNismo]

Pictures seem a little a bit choppy when expanding them.
What type of camera is she using? Good pictures though.

Its def hard to get good pictures during drift events.

P.S. I followed your blog

tell her to lay down on the ground so the pics are 'down at the car's level'

I think she should find some local photographers and get some pointers. My local forum has a few good ones who are really helpful.

1. get a better camera and lens.
2. get a book on aperture and exposure.
3. learn about angles; just because you tilled the camera doesn't mean you are a good photographer.
4. study prominent photographers in your area of interest; nature, car, people, etc.
5. learn the "rules of thumb" for photography.
6. take better photographs.

she's on the right track though, i'll give her that.

This is exactly what I was going to say - but I didn't want to be harsh, because I'm in the same boat. I'm learning on a NIkon D60, myself, and it really isn't easy.

Tell her to invest in a good tripod and try some long exposure times for shots at night instead of using the stock flash. Unless she gets a remote flash setup which gets EXPENSIVE.

Example of a long shutter speed.


Tell her to keep at it, though, and don't get discouraged.

Get her a longer lens.
75-300 should run you no more than $100. Which is EXTREMELY cheap when talking about lenses.

But a basic photography clas5 should so a looooong way.
I was in one for like 2 weeks in high school, I was able to teach myself with the little I learned there.

go with a canon.

canon>nikon for the most part. oh and be prepared to regret purchaes. lenses and cameras come out like once every two months lol. or you can just say screw it and get a hasselblad or a nice leica... be ready to take out a mortgage though.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Yeah but just because a new one is out doesn't mean you have to get it... If its a good camera it will still be good for a while.

Really? Starting out with a Hasselblad...
That's like giving someone a F1 car to take their driving test in.

I wish lenses would come out every two months, so the used ones wouldn't cost $800.
