Very nice set of shot here Jay , Like them all but not 100% 5 works for me , anyways whats up with POTN ??

[Matt Sayle]

Awesome set. I really like number 3 :clap:

Good job! Only #5 doesn't work for me either... I see what you were trying and good thinking, but it fails IMHO.

I see the crowd was out in force for this one :D The nice weather we had borrowed for Brands Hatch!

Mornin,

I'm Mr Picky today so here goes...


#1 - Good shot but i reckon a little less DoF to blur the background more if possible.

#2 - A bit of flash would have looked good here.

#3 - I like the idea but doesnt quite work. maybe some work to the sky with some Top Gear filters?

#4 - Good shot, once again id start experimenting with a bit of flash on dull days.

#5 - Nice try no cigar! Possibly one for the Top Gear filters again?

#6 - Good shot, although a the car looks a bit soft on my screen and a shallower DoF would really bring it out.

Cheers

Nat

Thanks for the comments all. Much appreciated.

It seems that No.5 isnt a hit with anyone ... it's actually one of my presonal favorites from the event :)

BLZeebub, again thanks for your comments. Though I slightly disagreee with a number of your observations. Have you tried shooting flash at a car going through a watersplash? I find the water tends to get blown out, even with the flash dialed right down. No.6 is pin sharp when viewed at 100% ... maybe you monitor? Oh, and I rather enjoyed my cigar ;)

That being said, I much prefer peoples honest opinions.

Some nice shots in this set but the watermark is seriously off putting and spoils at least 3 of the images. :( Well done for braving the conditions. I know I would have whimped out!

Thanks for your comments. As for the copyright logo, do you have a lock on the front door of your house?

Copyright theft is rife. The logo helps to prevent it.

Great set of images. All are good shots, with the exception of #5 (sorry). I do rather like the water splash shot.
