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.

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.

Nice shots Joe. The panning, as Sue said, is spot on. Looks like a good training facility up there in Gympie. :D

I agree with Craig & Sue. I know what is like to get these sort of shots (Eastern Creek skid pan). The car are not moving that fast and they are ususally move in a tight area. Well done. :up:

Looks like the Commie could use some spring and shock work mate, she's listing in that shot.

I love them though.

Nice shots. Can I ask what the specs were for each of them? Shutter speed? Aperture?
