Ever since I was able to talk, I have been a car driver and has never decreased. So, naturally, when I started photography, it was an upside count until I started some detail car photography. It started with a flowing program where I was almost shattered due to tire burst, but finally, I completed shooting for a hill climbing program in London every year.
Before the first year, I really focused on learning paning techniques and reached a reasonable standard, but when I tried to do it in a race setting, I was a real shock. First, racing lines rarely run parallel to you, which is bad for focus. Secondly, cars grow rapidly and brakes aggressively, which is also bad to increase focus. Third, even with a press pass, it is extremely difficult to find the right part of a small mountain climbing track to do what you are trying. In addition, mistakes may be expensive. Each car ran three times, and each of them was on my share of the track for a few seconds. Therefore, it is not impossible to take good shots of a particular car, with high omission rates, and when you are trying to sell images of cars to their drivers, it is less than ideal.
