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.

Leon, these are all good, but the second one is terrific.
I like the way the blurred people on either side lead you to the subject. Well done

It's a great place for interesting images Leon, especially people photos.

Love 2#: excellent timing and shutter speed.
3# could be further improved if you can clone the roof on to the sky so it looks like the roof is the sole backdrop

Leon

I can't belive I missed this. #2 is great - as Philip said the blurred people at the edge take what could be a more boring static subject to a different level since we feel the hussle and bustle of the show

I too missed this, these are all great shots Leon for different reasons.
My personal fave is no. 3 - great timing!!
Since when have the cars been Toyota and not Holden? (not that I really care) But I've never seen them as Toyota's for the show! Freeeeeeeeaky.

Thanks for the comments all - really appreciate it :)

Have updated the photo's above with key EXIF data.

I'd have to say that my favourite from these is the second one - we had just finished having something to eat and were just sitting watching people pass us by so I grabbed the camera and started experimenting. Would have been great to have had an ND filter on hand but didn't, so f-stops had to do the job ;) It's also handheld - I think it's probably about my limit for getting a reasonably sharp shot from a slow exposure :)

Number 3 hits the mark for me. Great shots - brings back memories of a favorite childhood past time.
