Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

There seems to be a lot of Canon's out there ont he track. Perhaps they are trying to copy the photog in the Subaru advert. :)

thats ok christiand,
probaby the other reason why you would keep the blurry action shot is because it a one of a kind - car accident shot.
at least you enjoyed it.

Post processing will help clear out the little shakes a bit ;)

I'd love to be able to go take photos of a rally 'cept I'm a bit iffy about the dust in the lens + camera. I guess that's why they have the towels draped across the body.

hehe should be fine just don't change lenses and cover the lenses when a dust cloud heads towards you.

Hi PiroStitch,

I carried a plastic bag and popped the camera inside
when a dust cloud approached.
So did a lot of other photographers.
Once I got home, I vacuumed all the gear.
Everything is fine.

CD nice pics but yeh i know what its like yesterday, lots of dust and yeh the other photog doing stuff for website was using a canon d60 and flash with every shot and i had the 80-400 is over kill for where we was, but i made do and too much dust so thought would leave the lens on. I did carry a cloth and my rocket blower to blow any dust from time to time.

I too did think of putting camera in a bag but yeh didn't and just moved to otherside of track to avoid the dust. Anyhow was ok and done it once so know what to do next time.
Nice pics.
Cheers
John
