Bathurst Festival Part 2

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.

Raskill (Alan) has two shots featured in the Bathurst Motor Festival program. He will be too modest to tell you all but I have, well done .The shot is of the final race of the day at the last corner and James Brock shows some concern.

Good one Jeff,

Well captured,

Jeff,

Nice image mate. Pity about the back wall, but with a white painted surface and late afternoon sun, theres not much you can do about it. The image is nice and sharp and getting Brocks eyes in the image is also very good. You sure can make that Sigma sing!

Seems that Murrays Corner is very good for afternoon shots!

Obviously you hung around till the last race of the day. I came home and faced the music, oh well. It's all good now.

Thanks for your company on the weekend. I hope you enjoyed yourself and I didn't drag you about to much. See you back here for the supercars. Hopefully I'll have media accreditation I can loan you :) (at least for a few hours).

Great motor sport action shot, it's not often you get such detail in the driver's face, and with the following car lifting a wheel it makes a great image, sharp as a tack too, well done...

Thanks Barry ,it was good to meet you hopefully we will catch up again.

Thanks PiroStitch,but to set the record straight it was Raskill (Alan Beattie) that was featured in the program.The way I wrote the first posting was confusing,one should reread their posting before they submit.
