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.

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,

I've been shooting some motorsport recently with my new 18-200 VR, and thought I'd post a couple of pics to the R&C thread (my first time)....feel free to critique, these are straight from the camera with only sharpening PP.

taken at round 6 of the Australian supermoto championships - 24th June

taken at Round 3 of the Queensland Championships - 28th May

thanks

Great shots Griffo,

Love the concentration in the first and the second just screams "ouch" should the bike slip out from under the rider. Captured the action nicely.

Got any more to share?

I'm a bit disappointed with the sharpness of these images during PP / reduction.

Griffo, couple of good shots there. I was hoping to get someof the action here this month as they were going have a round down here in SA but it got cancelled so i will have to wait to see if they ever decide to do a round here as have watched on tv and looks like lots of action,
Well done on the pics.

These are fantastic, the sport looks to be potentially very painful. I didn't realise riders put their leg out on surfaced circuits! :shock:

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

the only thing that you don't get from the pics is how fast they actually go.
In some of the pics at the end of the long straight, they're doing close to 150-160 km/h......and sliding sideways, it keeps you on your toes :shock:
