Rockingham BTCC FP & Quali

[mgodden1989]

Was at Rockingham on Saturday with my Dad for the FP sessions and also qualifying.

First time I had shot in RAW too, just wondered what people thought of the outcome.

1. Tom Chilton

2. Nicholas Hamilton

3. Liam Griffin

4. AON Focus

5. Sheddon's front brakes

6. Dave Newsham

7. Porsche rear wing

8. Porsche front end

9. Chilton showing just how its done

For me, the angles on the static shots look a bit odd (especially combined with the vignette), and the crops are confusing my eye a little. I understand it's difficult being on top of the garages though! On a positive note, it's a good pan and the Airwaves and AON shots work pretty well.

Your lens seems to be vignetting horribly

I think it's Photoshop

As above, all have been edited in photoshop.

First time I had ever done anything like this and wanted to give it a go with a range of different photos and shots to see how it looked.

Theres a range of ones I tried out, a few more below.

Tom Chilton - not too sure on this one, don't think it works for me tbh

Alice Powell

Paul Rivett

Calm down the vignette a bit - I know it's your first time shooting RAW and we've all done it (myself included) but it rarely adds to a motorsport shot.

That said, #1 is a solid pan and everyone knows how difficult it is at Rockingham to get interesting and more importantly different shots to what everyone else is doing. I'd say you've done well.

Glad to see my sarcasm wasn't lost on you

Rule 1. Less is more

Rule 2. Does the post processing actually add anything to the shot

I like em bright, graphic and I like the framing of the static shots.
