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.

All very nice shots, Jamie. Very sharp and nice colours. Did you zoom while taking the last shot?

Thanks guys. :)

Atorie - no i didnt have a drive, its something like 2.5k to enter the event and besides my car isnt up to scratch for such events.

Alex - yes i did zoom while taking the last shot, i thought id try something a little different, something a little arty. I quite like it even though it does my head in looking at it. :lol:

hey Jamie,
did you end up going to sandown last week?

with the images i reckon you could try to blur the wheels a bit more, the parked car look is one of my pet peeves and try to avoid it at all cost, unless it of a crashed car or a real parked car

redline - no i didnt go to Sandown last weekend, just didnt have the time.

By bluring the wheels you mean slowing down the shutter speed?

My pet peeves about car photography are: pictures of cars taken on grass, parked accross parking bays and the lines in general also pictures of cars in driveways or out on the street, although there are exceptions to the rules. Running a car club as i do i get to see them all! :lol:
