Oran Park

I know I post more images than I comment on others, but it is mainly because I feel like I can't add much to the photos of others...

Anyway, we had a drive day today at Oran Park, and I wanted to put into practice the panning techniques from the other post, however, and unfortunately, I couldn't get into a decent position to get some decent shots.

These were some of what I thought were the best...

C&C most welcome.

I like #2 and #4, 2 gives a good feel for the track, 4 is well exposed but maybe lose the guy with the clipboard?

Not bad Patrick. I can relate to how difficult it is to photograph from that location. A great big bloody lump of concrete kinda gets in your way.

How did you enjoy your day? I hope it was a blast for you

Casnell, thanks for the feedback - I was going to crop out the guy on the left. I was almost going to ask the owner to move the car so I wouldn't get the bin behind the car in shot (not as obvious in this one, but more so in others).

Andrew, the day was fantastic, although I couldn't nail turn one (at the end of the straight) - I was too timid in letting the clutch out. But, being driven around at race speed by the pros was awesome, not as nail biting as I thought.

Yeah, the concrete barrier was a pain (so it may prevent injury, but it gets in the way of the shot) as most of the drivers where driving right up close to it.

It reinforces the appreciation I have for professional race car drivers - it maybe reasonably easy to negotiate four consecutive laps, but 50, 60, +??

Hi Patrick, nice stuff. Like the Exige in 4, the panning shots show just how difficult it is, they might have need a smaller aperture for greater depth of field

Thanks Glen,

I was caught between using a smaller aperture but also trying to keep the shutter speed up there as I was using the 80-200 at between 80-120 or so.
