just a few from the weekend. my stike rate is getting better, and i pan better from left to right i found out

#2 and #4 is my pick here, nice panning there Well done

thanks for the feedback mate. the focus speed of the 70-200 is awesome...

#1 would be great with a tighter crop.
#4 is the strongest panning wise, but #5 tells the best story of the set I think. The lift on it is great, hard to say from this angle but it looks to be torqued over on an angle too...

Brett

Fantastic panning job there!

thanks guys.

my shots mostly need straightening a few degrees, as i find it hard to get the angle right at the time. i usually crop them lightly. i kind of fell like i'm cheating or something if i crop them too much, if that makes sense.

cheers..

Beautiful panning, especially #4. #1 looks like you had a bit of a focus issue, the barrier is in focus and the car isn't.

thanks mate.

your right about #1. i had my shutter set on 1/320s for the panning, and wasn't expecting a fireball, so just fired off a shot, but the shutter was obviously a bit slow to freeze the car

Great panning shots 2&4 are the best.

Jeff

thanks, jeff

awesome shots, out of interest where are you positioning your AF mark, front middle or rear of the car?

cheers, michael.

i use the continuous focus mode and set it to 'closest subject' which picks a focus area automatically. i try to to fill the frame with the car(s) so i don't have to crop them

All good pics James. As has been said, #1 is not the best shot and could do with a good crop - but, all in all, very good job. From #2 to #5 there are some great shots - I'd probably pick #4 and #5 as my favs.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick

nice work there, not an easy task with the speeds they are at and in such a short space of time as well. btw the dodge in #5 is in this months issue of street machine

thanks, oscar & NJ

yeah i heard it was going to be in the next issue, have to grab a copy. nice lookin' machine.

this is it on the return road:

I'd try not to use the closest subject, as the car is not always the closest subject, go for centre point.

When you upgrage to a d200 ( ) you should use the wide centre point, it's perfect for panning!

Wow, these are amazing, the colour is magnificent, thanks or contributing.

hey kyle, good to see ya over at 'dragster' i'd love a D200. very soon i suspect. the price is right...

thanks ozimax, appreciate it.
