Nice panning. Only issues for me is that I think the car needs to cropped so that there is more space in front of the car, rather than behind it. For instance #2, if the subject was on the right of the frame, with the empty space in front, it would look better imo.

Well, it sounds better than Drifting in Golspie. Managed to get a rare outing with the camera, and shoot something totally different. Was a fun event and wish I could have stayed for the competitive runs. As this was my first attempt at drifting, any CC warmly welcomed.

It's been a while since I posted any shinty pics here, in fact it's almost a year since I took in a game tbh. It was good to be back if only not for the bloody midges....dear god the midges Comments and Critique appreciated. 1. Tussle for the ball. 2. Reach in. 3. Cabers up. 4. Jedi...

In general, all 3 photos are underexposed and soft. Judging on the motion blur on the swinging limbs, it's almost as if the shutter speed was to low and you were shooting with a very low ISO, with out seeing the settings it's hard to say. 1 - The limbs from the other players here distract from...

Thanks, unfortunately the windshield kind of blocks the face a bit, still love the location to shot from though. Foggy is a refernece to Carl Fogarty former superbike race and apparently a king of the jungle (so the missus told me)

Thanks Davy, really happy with what I came back with. Thanks, I think I get what you are getting at with the rotate and enlarge, I was cropping everything keeping the original photo ratio, if I free it up however..... Many thanks, I've only got interested in the Road Racing scene over the...

7. Keeping her tight to the wall. 8. Wave at the wall as you pass. 9. Pop the front over the leap. 10. Blinded by the Sun...... 11. Closer to the Hedge. 12. Up and way.

I don't post on here a lot, really should as I feel I may have hit the wall and need some CC to move onwards. So with that saying I'm going to post a collection from my trip to what has become my spiritual home. 1. Signs must be obeyed at all times. 2. Follow the leader 3. The precious...

American football it one of the most difficult sports to shoot in my opinion, especially if its the senior game you cover (11 v 11). There are a lot of bodies which often get in the way, it's difficult to follow unless you know the game well (will they run or pass for example) and happens in...

Thanks, I aimed to get most of my shots with ball in frame, but I found quickly that a lot of shots became very samey quite quickly. Also I didn't notice that in #3, but now you mentioned it, it's all I can see. Thanks, I love shooting sports and it's what I mainly concentrate on, just don't...

Some of Armando Iannucci's finest work we are seeing here........what do you mean this isn't a live episode of The Thick of It....

Thanks @doggel I always seem to have an issue with the horizons and relied on the stumps as a vertical to base my horizons off when cropping slightly.

Both the Vettel and Kimi incidents are prime examples of racing accident's and not deliberate attempts to crash into the Mercs (despite what Lewis, Mercedes or Fan Club Sky Sports want to put out there), there is so much wrong with that conspiracy it's hard to know where to start. An easy...

Ok, decided to try something out of my comfort zone, away from the Football or Shinty, I tried some T20 cricket. If I'm being honest, I didn't even know there were cricket clubs up here, let alone enough to have competitions with. Would appreciate pointers on what I'm doing wrong (there will...

Not too keen on #1 due to the out of focus flower in the left being a bit too distracting. #2 and #5 are top drawer stuff though.
