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.

A couple of shots from a course I was instructing at on Friday. These shots were taken during the last session with a low sun. I did not have time to get to a different corner for better lighting so had to make do.

Not easy getting the sense of motion and keeping the shot sharp.

Lifes journey is not to arrive at our grave in a well preserved body but, rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow what a ride."

It was a tight corner that opened up behind me, so they could have been looking past me. They should have been looking at the road as one of the building blocks of the course is vision.

Craig,

Nice shots, especially the Dunlop. Tell him to go harder, there's still an inch of rubber he needs to scrub.

We had the Salary Package guys in here last week, the bloke told me I couldn't salary package a new bike only a cage ( not his word ). Discrimination against motorbike riders, some ATO rule blar, blar.

Loved the Gixxer and Viffer.

Cheers.
Warwick

The Dunlop and Diablo were mine, and I love my chicken strips. Iam too old and stiff to get decent lean angles on the VTR. Front was a new qualifier, great grip, lifted the back once and run me off line.
