    My fisrt time trying to shoot RC.
    I took horrible shoots, not good light and no Flash.

    Canon 7D with the stock lens 28-125mm

    That looks fun!! Have you tried or thought of pre-focusing on the part of the jump you are shooting at? I couldn't imagine trying to follow and focus on one of those things!!

    You are right next time I will try it.
    and try a different lens since the one I have is not that good for low light conditions.

    thanks

    Try not to get the lights in the shot.
    They will make the average scene brighter, and the camera's meter will under-expose the car.
    Or meter the exposure on the ground, then set that manually so that the lights have no effect.

    I am about buying one of top rated SUVs. According to CR, the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is the best subcompact SUV of the year. What do you think about it?
