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.

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.

Hi All :D

I've been lurking this forum for a while but finally decided to break my cherry and post something up. Here's a few pics from a drift practice session at Oran Park on 12/5/07.

All shot with a 400D and the 70-300 kit lens. Any C&C welcome.

Welcome mate, top set of shots too :)

You seem to know what your doing.

I like the relaxed attitude in #2, and #3 turned out great with the desat and composition.

Cheers.

I like the choice of non-standard crop size (ie. not 3:2) - it works best on shot #1, and also #2. The other two are also good and sharp, and I like the desaturation on the last one as well. #3 looks a bit 'cramped' by the crop.

Welcome, too!

Nice shots Reverends (:) ), esp like #3 and desaturation effect, which can be overdone but in this instance is nice.

I'm really liking the first one the tight crop suits it very well and it's nice and sharp and i like the relaxed arm out the window in number two.
