Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Alan it must be that long distance cable you are using out there. BTW I did not have much success with 3X convertor. It was an old thing I found in the cupboard. Looks like it goes back in there.

Nice work mate, had fun I take it? :)

Might be my monitor, but looks like the WB needs a tweak to the blue side, seem a bit warm over here :twisted:

Cheers.

Barry, leave my long distance cable alone, smart ass! :wink:

Images are showing now, agree the WB seems a tad warm. What setting you use?

Nice and sharp, they taken with the 70-200 or the 80-400?

Any of the two gits on the inside of turn two? :lol:

Cheers mate.

Alan, car shots were taken with 80-400VR. Girls with 18-70 kit lens. I have two shots of the gits on the inside, sad looking specimens thou. Can publish if you like?

As for the wb issue the car shots were taken with a sunny wb setting and appear to be ok on my monitor??

The girls were shot with a cloudy wb setting and fill flash (-1.3). When I looked again last night I backed the wb off the a temp of 5500K (daylight).

How do they look now?
