Seems the resizing has ruined them :(

Looking good..that 'lotus something or other' is called the 'lotus 2 eleven' ;)
Still going through my photos..i got sunburnt too..on my forehead of all places..which is strange because i didn't think the sun made much of an appearance today.
The first FPA car looks a little over saturated..or at least the red is..and its not very sharp..is this due to the resizing?

Yeah it is. Its sharp and has good colour on the orginal!! I shall try resize it again. The sun was out a lot today I thought!! Oh yeah thats the one!! During the Lotus race they were all rally crossing at Lodge. THanks for the comment.

Well you just may well have seen me then. I had a tripod and was wearing a grey jacket/navy blue t-shirt.
5 & 7 for me.. better than your last few posts, did you do anything different?
Like I missed you again Matt..
Thought you had a Monopod :thinking:.. I passed a guy several times with a Tripod.
I was with my youngest son, I had a large coat on, it was cold when I left the car :lol::lol: I'll post a few later 1500 to go over :gag:
Did you sharpen after resizing?

Did that guy have a navy blue polo shirt on?? or grey hoody jakcet type thing?? You took a lot more than me. I have tripod. I tryed to smoothen my panning action too se if that helped. Thanks for the comments.

They only caused 1 red flag this time ;)
I have no idea what happened though...but they seemed to crash at the start of race 1 on the start line...
And where were you Matt for the VdeV race? I moved around a bit..although not by much..

Yeah I was!!
An interesting bunch of cars, makes for some great action, will keep you fit that, particulrly when you start carting bigger lenses around.

And when you get bigger lenses..just use a wheelbarrow to carry everything around..or enslave your dog or something as a carrier dog... ;)

LOL you cheeky young so and so
Good stuff. I can definitely see the improvement from the last lot. I really like the green Exige (#3).
One tip regarding the panning shots, always crop so that there's as much or more space in front of the car than behind. Equal amounts suits the pan well. More in front gives the car something to "move into". Having more space behind the car makes it look like you caught it slightly too late.

CHeers :thumbs: I am glad there is a improvement. I was shooting that for someone so I am glad i at least got one good one :D Well i orginally caught it a bit too late and my attempts to hide this have obviously failed :D
