Jamboree action shots

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.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Brett - nice set of images here!
The fumes (or heat??)really add to the atmosphere you've captured.
My fave would be the first image, followed by no.4.
What camera/lens were u shooting with for this series?

Hehehe yeah TP.
What's above the guy on the right (with the sunnies on) head? Part of the sign?
Having a closer look at this image - I'd like to see it cropped so that the shoulder/arm of the the FAR right hand dude is not seen.

Thanks guys.

First three photos are with the Sigma 120-300 + 1.4TC thanks to a great friend of mine. The last one is with the 70-200 and SB-800.

He's looking at parts of the bonnet that ended up way up high, the bit you can see above the guys head is just one of them. It all happened so fast; it would have been good to go as wide as I could to capture them all in the air, but oh well.

Here is a crop for you.

I quite like this one - I did not realise that garret made more than turbines, I assume this is some form of air inlet / air cycle machine?

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Turbocharger. What you see is the compressor housing and compressor impeller. None of the big drag guys run a filter at all on these babies.
