Very nice work, but they look a bit dark on my screen (not calibrated though)

I agree they are a bit dark

They are quite good, I think though with say #1 and #4 that you should leave more room at the front of the car than at the rear, makes it far more dynamic that way

Not that I've ever shot motor sport, but...

#1 I really like the pan here, great sharpness in the body with plenty of motion blur everywhere else - textbook! I like the upward slope of the road, gives it a little hill climb feel whether it is or not.

#2 is the only one I'd categorise as dark on my screen - recently calibrated. Looking at it more, I don't think it really is aside from the black car out front but, well, it's black isn't it! I like the angle on this, give the impression that No30 is having a good go at No23.

#3 doesn't have the strength of the other for me on the own, I think a tad earlier so the white car wasn't hidden could have helped. Having said that, I like the context that the scenery gives.

#4 is another great panning shot, love the red too, it really pops.

Nice stuff, really makes me wish i could shoot PI again...

The 3rd shot is nice, reminds me of the days when tin top racing was good...

The 4th needs the horizon straightened, it just irks me seeing the horizon on an angle.... :up:

Craig,

Love the F5000 shot. There was some real racing ....

But great composition on this one in particular. Well framed, nicely shot.
