Few pics from the track today

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.

I like the panning shot on the last one. It sure gives it a sense of speed!

John we have you as the master of the track and Max as the master of the surf - great shots BTW.

If you pics are sharp on screen but not when posted it is something in the conversion that is probably giving the soft focus IMO

Great pan in pic #3 and I love the cloud patterns in #2. Perhaps a tighter crop in #2, just show the tips of the trees to give perspective. Get rid of the dull ground and people :?:

Thanks guys, well redline all i have done is convert to jpeg from Raw and thats about it. Then i open in PS7 and add signature and resize thats about it and looks ok here but soon as i send to pixspot it falls in a hole.
i do save them as good quality after i resizes.

John - when you open the RAW image do all of your PP’ing then convert to 8bit under mode in PS. Then go into image size and convert the longest pixel size in the two top boxes (whichever) to 800 pixels - this will give you and image of about 1.2Mb. Then do a save as and save as a Jpeg with a value of 8. Et voila - this is how I do mine and they are fine. :D
