CC welcome - my first efforts at motorsport photography. Mostly F3's, as well as a Lotus who just pushed a little too hard at T1...

I personally would prefer to see the image of the whole car, particularly in the first and second shot but very well done

Good 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.

nice images for a first try !
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.

Love 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.
