Hmmm.... For some odd reason it cut off parts of the sides of the pictures

The pictures actually look better when the main subject is NOT in the exact center of the picture. I actually do have an art degree.......

Cool! Thanks for telling me, I was just surprised when I seen that it cut off the sides.

Nice dirt work Keith!

You should add some guys standing in the road though for additional realism!

As to them being off center - it is the size image you are using. The forum screen format is probably set to a low resolution and it doesnt resize images - so anything over a medium 640 gets cropped on the right hand side of the photo. I use the medium 500 primarily. Meaning it is there - you just cant see it!

Thanks, I was thinking of that, but I have no idea where to get 1/64 scale size people, 1/87 are the most common, but they're too small. I think it's funny how at real rally races people stand in the way sometimes and then move off the course as soon as a car comes towards them, it seems kind of risky I'll try resizing my images next time, I might even get to do another rally racing photo shoot, they're calling for snow here! YAY!!!!

I don't rally in snow, I live in Florida! Instead of people on the road, there are alligators!

You could try to put a saddle on the alligators and race with them

Yeah, sorry about the cropping. Best width for the forum images is probably 600 pixels wide or so. I've tried to fix it but this forum software is less than flexible when it comes to that. But it is one of the many things getting improved in the new version.

But even with the cropping the pics look great! I need to take some more "on location" shots of cars too, so much fun.

No need to apologize, it's like Stroller said, the subject of the picture doesn't need to be in the center of the picture to make it look good Thanks for checking out the pics!
