Airborne

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.

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.

They fly through the air with the greatest of ease. I finally have a working computer again :D Three shots form the Qld Rally last weekend.

Nice shots Oneputt. I wonder if you took any slow panning shots to blur that background and really create a sense of movement? Might have been interesting to lay lee side of the hump and pan the underside of the rally cars as they became airborne. Now there's a shot noone has got yet :lol: AND lived to talk about it :lol:
cheers

Very nice John. The last is my pick. My shots at Cutter's Hump were rubbish even though I was only a few metres away the angle was all wrong. Top stuff. :D

Marco getting an uninterupted view was the reason panning was not an option. We were stood elbow to elbow :wink: :D

Jon,
Love the shots but I have been playing with Photoshop the past couple of days and thought that I would share this one with you.
Hope you don't mind.
I made a copy of the image selected the car and then the inverse, applied motion blur to the masked layer with a 30% opacity.
Easier than getting elbow room it would seem :twisted:

First two shots seemed to have slightly blown highlights, but the light in the Corolla's picture is fantastic. I disagree about adding motion blur in post-process though, unless it is carefully done using very accurate masks and doing several layers of it. Shooting with lower shutter speeds might bring out some wheel blur too.
