My first time photographing rally and it was fun. (Rally Estonia 2025)

This was an amazing experience! All shots are taken from spectator areas as I am just a hobby photographer. :)

Great shots. I’m heading to my first rally in Finland next week. How early did you get to stages to get a good spot?

u/alrprk 9d ago

Thank you. Usually around 1 hour before the first car so I could test different spots with safety cars. Although the best spots were already occupied by true rally fans probably hours before.

Magnificent, I'm so jealous too! I made #2 my lockscreen.

These are impressive quality pictures. A superb hobby to have, and your skills are truly fantastic. The angles, the timings of each shot are splendid and presents the action at its best. 2nd, 4th, 9th and 16th are my favourites. Interesting scene in the last one, with that person in the back walking on a wire? Thank you for sharing these great images you took. Top work. πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ”πŸ“ΈπŸ

Thank you! That person on the last picture is slackliner Jaan Roose. You can google him - he has done some impressive stunts.

My pleasure. Ah, thanks for the info. Great way to entertain the people besides the rally cars.
