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.

Hey all, here is my first attempt at motorsport photography. I think I took over a thousand plus shots and most of them weren't that great. :( . Got some on the spot advice from Catcha on how to use shutter prioty over the race weekend. Here is a few that came out well

First and second are good, crop it a abit and it will make the car look larger, what speed were you using, a slower shutter would give it a more better feel of speed

Don't crop them, they work as they are, trust me ;)

Second and Third are great work. The last could do with a slower shutter, maybe down to 1/320th from 1/400th would given it the feel you needed, and perhaps a bigger flame.
