The Great Race - Thursday Practice

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I would love to be next to you in the first and the 2nd is a ripper!

Needs more lions though! Enjoy your time, and hopefully might see you there next year

Cheers

Now i know why they call it My Panorama, it has some very panoramic views. Great images, really showing the action of the cars and the speed they are going.

Raskill - very nice shooting :)

For those attending, I sincerely hope that the weather holds for some great action shooting, which we will have the pleasure of seeing.

Love the angle, motion, and up-close-ness of the first; and love the composition of the second. Nothing wrong with the third either - crisp, sharp, excellent. Hope it's a great weekend for all attending

Thanks for the comments folks. God forbid, I'm actually rather uninspired this weekend. Very tiring for some reason.... :?

Anyway, enough bitching, it sure beats a bad day at the office!

Heres how close we were getting to the track in the first image:

It's a bit loud, and if you trip, you're squished, but oh my god it's fun!! :roll:

Good luck, have fun.
