Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

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.

Now that looks like fun!!! What a nightmare for an SLR user though eh! Also looks very hot.

Love the pics, especially the first one and the eighth (close-in on the racing).

Dave, great shots there i too love #1, the others are fine as well but you need to play with shutter speeds and paning. Get some motion in them wheels. well done.

Have to agree with the others, the first one is a absolute rippa of a shot, looks like lots of fun. Did you get to drive one ? Or only shoot them ?

I'm a tad unoriginal and like number one the best, but also number three. It's got that 'rough out of focus' feel to it. Agree that you need to try panning, it's hard to get used to, but really gives that impression of speed.

Dirt Kart racing sure looks like good blokey fun!!! Just need one to haul my heavy ass around!

All good shots, but I would have to agree with many others here and say that #1 is a real pearl. I don't know if it is my monitor but I would just add a touch of contrast to that shot to give it a bit more bling

Cheers,
Craig

Dude, these are great!! What lens you use? Never heard of dirt kart and it looks like fun...if you're into dirt. :lol: I like the way you froze the driver and blurred the rest in one of your shots. Also love #1, and could be great advertising for Scotts goggles and AGV helmets!
That last pic you posted makes me laugh. He was obviously at the back of the group. :lol:
Well done and thanks for posting! :D
