A1GP weekend - Sheepie's Pics

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. 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. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

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.

A selection from the weekend...

Image
D200 + 70-200VR @ 180mm - f7.1 1/320th ISO100

Image
D200 + 70-200VR @ 70mm - f13 1/320th ISO400

Image
D200 + 70-200VR @ 130mm - f9 1/250th ISO220

Image
D200 + 70-200VR @ 70mm - f11 1/250th ISO400


On the whole, I'm reasonably happy with my results - this was my first time using a 70-200VR (thanks Peter!), and I'm not convinced I got the best out of the lens. That said, the conditions (horribly muggy on Saturday and horribly wet on Sunday) didn't help all that much!

Great panning shots - I really like the first one, particularly because of the cool angle! Yeah, conditions were horrible to be in, but I did like the added 'excitement' of water spraying off the back of the cars

The first one is a cracker. Love the angle and the DOF.

I like number one - looks fast and has a nice angle.

I've changed my mind. I like the last one the best now. Love the story it tells. Nice work again.

Odd crops do funky things to my head, but the panning and action is great. :)
