Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 11:31 pmI personally would prefer to see the image of the whole car, particularly in the first and second shot but very well done

1st and 2nd shot of whole would of kicked assRe: Eastern Creek
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 9:29 amGood first effort! I called in briefly to EC late in the afternoon, pretty quiet though.
I like the first image, good panning there. I gather you either lopped off the back edge of the tail or the tip of the nose, and have cropped it? If you have cropped it, I would be tempted to tilt the angle slightly, and crop tighter, perhaps half way through, or even inside of the wheels.
Number 2 doesnt do much for me, but good reflexes to get the shot, looks like he was a bit to close for your focal length. The bright reflections off the front of the car dont help either.
Number 3 is good. If you have cropped it, I would be tempted to recrop and include the whole front wheel, maybe play with the bright/contrast also.
Nice timing with 4, was that taken at the entry into turn 3?
Look forward to seeing more images from you.

silly question...but does EC have a calender for events and are any of them during the week ? i'd like to try some motorsport shots but weekends are out for me. i dont mind if they are just practice days, jsut something for me to have a go at.

Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:54 pmLove shots 1 and 3. Looks like your panning is mastered as the result in picture number 1 and I feel the crop of picture number 3 is spot on as well. Congrats on a job well done.
