Sunday at Oran Park

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.

Great photos, all nice and sharp. I like the front-on truck shot at 3# with the big plume of smoke.

If I was being picky with the composition, I'd normally like to see a little more room in front of the car for it to "drive into".

Barry, well done on these and the 80-400 has worked well for you as this is a good lens a bit slow at times for this type of work in focussing but has worked well for you here. Nice pics and looked like a nice day for it and least you had some reach and needed at times.

Good sharp photos Barry. There's one big problem with your images though. You're making me lust after the 80-400 :twisted:

Wish I hadda known you were out there with Trent. I would've enjoyed catching up with the two of you.

Thanks for comments guys.

Jonas will keep your comment in mind.

John, I agress lens is a bit slow in autofocus, haven't got mey technique right yet. I find most often I get best results using manual focus.

I lent lens to Trent who used it in af. Be interested to see his results.
