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.

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.

Also a bit of a motor racing fan.....especially anything on dirt. All with Nikon D50 and Nikkor 300mm f4. Have to shoot between and through fence wires, which is a bit of a pain. I set myself up on the grassy bank in a position which minimises the interference and maximises the image potential. I stay away from the tripod for as long as I can until the shutter speed simply becomes too low. I like the freedom of free hand photography.

Some great images, Number 3 for the action for me and also nice work on number four. Not framed to its potential but im a fan of speedway bikes so it gets my nod of approval (not that it means much. lol).

I like number 4 for all of the dirt that is coming up and the tyre (or lack thereof) in the third.

Hi Mark, some great captures you've got there! I like no. 4 with all the dirt flicking up in the background. Out of interest where you at Adelaide Speedway? I've been meaning to head out there sometime but I wasn't sure if it was any good for shooting. Sounds alright but you have to shoot between the fence all the time? Also are the events in the evening?

Yes....Adelaide...north of the city. You wil need to shoot between the wires, but if you get high on a grassy end you'll find a sweet spot....prefocus and pan as they enter that spot. Yep....at night usually. Speedway City I think its called these days...used to be Roley Park.
