V8 Supercars - Friday Practice

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.

thanks mate.
no special techniques here, just a very special lens.

you know what my dumb ass just figured out...if i dialled in -2EV i could then have dropped my shutter by 2 stops. that would have got me down to 1/250s which would have given me alot more motion. that woulda worked right ?

Nice.
These things aren't easy to capture at speed.
Some relation to the movement would've made them perfect. Could probably blur it with PS.

Wow..... that is a magical lens.

I really like the B&W conversion that you have done on the third image...and all that rubber just leads you into the iamge

Chris,

The second of these images, for an image showing a champion, is just great. It shows a measure of distance between the winner and the next competitor, with great use of DoF as well.

Colour and exposure is great too.

Too bad they don't travel at any great speed. :)

that woulda worked right ?


sounds like a good enough theory...

All very tidy images chris with the second and third as standouts for me, i do wish they cars were something other than pink... :violin: Good to see you getting some quality use outta that new lens..
