Panning shots at American LeMans

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 really like the yellow one. Good job on the panning - I find it really hard to do! If I had a niggle it would be that the back of the car is cut off. The shots look really clear though. Which lens did you use? Well done and thanks for sharing.

Good stuff Tom, especially the last (bummer about the others being chopped off)! Are these from Mid-Ohio? I'd love to get over to your neck of the woods and shoot there one day. :)

Great light and colours. With those exotic machines it looks like a real life version of Playstations 2's Gran Turismo 4. I can't believe they were all at the same place.

Nice attempt with the panning. I'm not an expert on the technique, but as a consumer or viewer of the shots, it would have been nice to see the whole car in #1 and #2. #3 is great though.

Used a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 on a Nikon D70. Shot over 350 photos over 2 days.

Heres another of the 7 car.

Yes, all at the Mid Ohio track. Its only an hour and half from where I live and they put on some great races thru the year.
