Scenery and action from Wakefield 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.

Trent, nice pics. Seems everywhere you go just now someone is paying their respects to the King.

You should offer the use of the 'Rainbow' image to the track owners, it's a cracker! Nice panning on the Porsches, were you using a TC?

Thanks Alan! No TC on these ones, D200 and Sigma 30 f/1.4 for the first one, Sigma 12-24 for the second, and 70-200 VR for the last two.

Trent, just noticed that you have a water droplet on your lens in the 'rainbow' shot. Bottom right corner.

Thanks for that Alan, will have to fire up PS to fix it when I get home. Damn protruding front element and rain! :twisted:

Haha, I don't have the spare coin though! :lol: IIRC the owners are going in with Tony Perich to build the "Oran Park Replacement" South of Campbelltown.

Well caught Trent. 5 fps is well used by you :D I had a 3 litre Carrera like the red one you have photographed, once the arse starting moving for real I guess I caught it one out of five times :lol: Probably more a reflection on my lack of talent than anything else. The electronics of the newer cars make them much easier to control

Haha, indeed! My parents used to have a '78 model RS with Carrera body that they bought from the factory in Stuttgart, drove it around Europe and then brought it back here and sold it (as you could do then). If I win Powerball the first thing I will do is buy a 911 for my Dad. Actually two, better get one for myself as well. :D

Plenty more Porsches in Group Sb and Sc action here. :)
