Lovely shots :thumbs: Love the last shot :)
Thank you :) none of them do any of the cars real justice though, first time at one of these events, thanks to Joe for letting me know about it, some of these cars were just automotive perfection :)
Oh and a special one for Irritable Rabbit and Toto_returns :)

I can see straight away what your problem is with that last shot.
It's because you are in fact a rubbish photographer. Give the camera to someone else and take up knitting. :p
The 600mm f4 you have will find a better home with a master tog so best send it over to me. ;)

The second shot works well for me...I like the reflections in the bonnet. Now, the 5th shot with car number 3, nice pic, but in case you hadn't noticed, you've chopped off the back of the car :D
As for the special one that you posted just for me...well, I can see the potential there.... You have demonstrated that you can frame a shot well, but I think you may have overdone it a tad with the motion blur. :lol:
Very nice Ian I certainy have learned a lot from those shots :D
For the love of god, please clean your sensor... i hear Janice offers a quick service if you ask her nicely.
Otherwise I really like the static shots, but the panning shots need to either have the full car and space in view, or, be much tighter crops... imo.

Blimey it must have been late when i did those, i hadnt even noticed that LOL ill drop Janice a pm :)

Hehehe yeah i know, i think i have one of the same car with the whole car in view, and space around it too, i just liked that one, even though it broke the rules and trimmed its bum off lol

Hmmm thought i may have overdone the motion blur ;)
Hi Ian
Glad you had a good day. :)
And yes that very last one is absolute ******! Well someone had to say it! :p
Onto some critique:
1. Youve managed much better than me with this subject as regards reflections, but I think the car would look better towards the bottom of the frame. Maybe learn how to change the focus point on that 30d of yours! :p
2. Looks ok, but a lower angle would help emphasize the gun a bit more.
3. Not bad, but I think I would like to see either more or less of the car. Its sort of stuck in no-mans land in the middle.
4. Dont cut the car off!
5. Nice and sharp for 1/125th but the horizon is a bit off!
6. Possibly the best of the set. 1/125th with a car coming towards you like is very difficult! The only improvement I would make is put the car slightly lower in the frame.
I take it none of these are cropped at all?
Good stuff *** mate. :)
Cheers Joe :)
Yep none are cropped at all, i need to spend some time looking through properly today think i should have slept on it before i edited any lol was getting on a bit.
Oh and its a 20D not a 30D ;)
Like the 1st shot Ian ... I had no idea there was anything going on yesterday ... I wasnt that far away from Silverstone either!
thanks Glo :) im never that far from Silverstone when im at home, its only 15 mins tops :)
Im so rusty with msport i think i need to go to more this year and get my hand back in, have loads more shots to go through but they are on my main pc, which is having a bit of a brain fart at the moment and keeps losing its hard drives, think its the heat upsetting the drive controller.
#6 is damn near perfect for me :)
