would like your rally pictures to turn out
I started out with no help at all. When I started
out in rally photography I had no motorsport photography experience - just
landscape and wildlife plus the usual holiday snaps and photos of my fishing
catches. I had just treated myself to a semi-professional camera for a trip
to Canada, which must have impressed my brother-in-law as he asked me to photograph
his rally team in action - and I had never been to a rally in my life! I wanted
to do a good job for him out on the rally stages and tried to find out about
how to take photos of rally cars in action and these appeared to be my only
choices:
- Sign up for an expensive training course - none of which major in rally
photography or any other form of motorsport photography
- Buy several expensive photography manuals and books, which tend to give
no specific tips and advice on motorsport photography
- Join a local camera club - I couldn't find any with members who participate
in motorsport photography, those in my area seem to concentrate on landscapes
and still life
- Get out on the rally stages and 'have a go'
So, out on the rally stages, hoping to pick the brains of those rally photographers
already out there, I immediately discovered the 'closed shop' of the photography
professionals. In many cases they wouldn't even say 'Hello' in case I was
going to 'pinch' some of their ideas. So, I just had to have a go.
I
made plenty of mistakes, costing lots of time and irritation so I decided
there and then that there must be an easier way to learn. I looked all over,
surfed the internet, scoured book stores, etc. all with no success. I couldn't
find any books or guides to help take better rally pictures - so, several
years on I decided to write one myself - and here you are reading about it!
How
to Take Better Rally Pictures: The Basics is the product of several
years' research and of doing it the hard way. I knew that this would prove
useful to others as I am constantly being asked by both beginners and practised
photographers for hints and tips - which I am always happy to share.
Over the years I must have spent lots of money trying out different photographic
techniques, and literally thousands of pounds on covering events for hotels,
petrol, tyres and one or two replacement car exhausts. I made the photographic
mistakes, so that you don't have to. Save yourself loads of time by learning
quickly and easily from this photography guide.
"Photography
isn't about having thousands of pounds' worth of camera equipment, it's
about getting the best pictures from the gear that you already have." |

With your newly-improved photos, capture the attention of your motor club,
you never know, they may ask you to be their photographer on events and you could find your rally photos being featured on the club's website
or in ther newsletter.Why not make your photography stand out from the crowd?
Get your rally photos featured and get yourself noticed. If your rally photos
are good enough, rally drivers and rally teams will soon be asking you to
take their rally pictures on events - and before you know it, you could be
earning good money from your hobby.
You can have the best, most expensive camera equipment in the world but if you don't know how to take photos, and you lack inspiration and creativity
in your photography, the results are likely to be no better than those taken
with a cheap point & click camera. In fact, after reading this guide,
the photographer who owns a cheap & cheerful camera could be producing
the best results on the event!
"I haven't a clue about cameras but I reckoned
that even I could take some decent shots after reading this guide. So, I went
out and 'had a go', advancing from 'glamorous assistant' to on-event photographer
on several UK National events. The results? I'm pretty amazed really. Listen,
if I can do this, anyone can!" Kim Bolsover, Editor, Rallycodriver
