#3 could do with having the shutter speed a bit slower to get some blur on the wheels, otherwise you captured some good shots there.

Thanks James were yo u there with PG?
Sometimes you lose the will to live on this forum, but I note one of posters above seems pretty negative about most peoples posts and images, no doubt this will start a tirade of.....
Hope to see you on the hill again soon.

Well so do I Philip !
You complain nobody posts about your pics (well maybe it's because they are not very inspiring ) ,then you put in a snidey comment aimed at me ,no doubt,because I gave you honest crit,not in any way nasty or negative,and now you are wingeing because nobody is blowing smoke up your backside.
You cannot have it both ways.

"give over pons!! he didn't say it was you exactly did he?

153 posts is hardly a newbie,James,and I rather think I gave some useful crit ,and I was hardly rude was I .
When I see pics of real quality like Petris posted and nobody could be arsed to comment ,then I say so and give my support and praise,so it works both ways.
Anyway in future will only say nice things when pics of quality are posted,and will avoid saying anything to try to help or dare criticise as forum posters just get the hump .

Hi Chris,
I thought I needed to clear the air over the recent Sweet Lamb thread.
On reflection I understand your comment but do feel they are a little blunt and leave the original poster somewhat at a loss on how to improve, indeed even deflated.
This was my first attempt at rally shots and noted that being in the bowl only really allowed close ups unless I wanted a lot of "clutter" in the background such a derelict buildings, spectators etc. I was pleased that my shots were sharper than I had previously managed and I did attempt to blur the wheels on the jumps but obviously need a tripod and slower shutter speed next time.
I would be grateful if you would share on how I can make my shots more inspiring as I do wish to improve as a photographer. Is that you prefer "wider" shots telling more of the "story"?
I have visited your website and now realise that we were stood close together on occasions.
Ah well next time eh...

Hi Phil,
Yep,I reckon we were close together on occasions
IMHO ,shots only showing the car look uninspiring as they could be anywhere,and are just records of a car and number.
If there is background that is recognisable,or buildings,spectators etc it can improve the picture.
Clutter sometimes needs to be removed,but changing a shooting angle can do this yet still show background.
Sweet Lamb has some great backdrops,and good weather or bad can really add to the atmosphere.
I would be the first to admit I love backdrops ,and have no problem with spectators in the shot .
And there are times when a brilliantly sharp car shot can work,or a slow shutter speed.
Short,wide primes are a great addition to a rally tog,and mine get loads of use,as you can include background easily.
I dont want to hi jack your thread but can put a few examples of what I mean from the same location ,will remove if you want.
Cheers ,
Pons
