I’ve shot various types of motor sport and other fast moving subjects, but two weekends ago I got my first opportunity to shoot some drifting from the right side of the fence. For those that don’t know, drifting is different to most motor sports where speed and times are everything. It’s all about keeping your car sliding while you complete a course and competitions are judged on line, angle, speed, and showmanship rather...

I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes I get a bit caught up in planning. I like to pre-visualise the shot, plan a location and run though some lighting set ups in my mind. Yesterday reminded me to be ready to take advantage when a shot just happens in front of you. When I left the car it was surrounded by other vehicles but I came back from lunch to find this scene. Luckily I had my camera over my shoulder and 30 seconds later I...
