Forum rules
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.

Superbikes with a 600 F4

What a beast it was! Pretty tough to swing around, but once i got the hang of it, i actually managed a few shots at 1/125th.

Biggups to my mate Peter Quinn, awesome surf photog for letting me handle the beast for 48 hours :)

enjoy

I love everything about #1. Colours, pin sharp, composition, panning. Brilliant. I think the thing that really keeps bringing me back is that the rider really looks like he's staring down the barrel of the lens and planning riding straight down it!

Was the national round of the WA Superbikes. No, the lens wasn't mine, i had borrowed it off a mate in exchange for the 17-55 and a sb800 for the weekend... fair swap i reckon ;)

but i sure do wish it was mine!!

however i do have a new toy which should be just as good! :D

Top shelf right there mate. Very nice indeed. I'll go with the crowd in saying #1 is the winner. There is real emotion in that shot.
