c aMy Amateur rallying shots - what do you think?

[snotrag]

The first of 2 posts tonight in this forum!

Cross posted these from the Yorkshire forum - be interested to know what you photo types think.

Taken a couple of weeks ago at the RAC in Dalby forest, N. Yorkshire. I used a borrowed Compact Olympus jobbie, mostly crap but I got a few nice ones. It was so cold that the battery kept dying!

Anyway... a few of my favourites, based on nothing factual or scientific at all - I guess thats the way photography should be.

All I've done is hit the auto levels in Picasa and cropped them a bit.

I would query what the colours are like on them - my screen is fecked so I imagine im not seeing what you are.

Love to know what you think - I'm quite chuffed with some of them.

i like 9 very much

the rest are good - i think you'd have got *much* better results with a dSLR - where you could adjust the shutter speed.

the colours do look a little washed out, but i think mainly all they really lack is that sense of action (although 7, 10 and 12 are not bad in this respect), which you would have got with a slightly slower shutter speed.

on the whole - nice pics!

just my 2p and i'm sure others will be along soon.

You did well getting those with a point and squirt. Colours do look a bit washed out to me too. I'm sure a bit of time in photoshop would be beneficial.

We did the first two stages at Temple Newsam, and didn't bother doing Dalby this time.

9 is the daddy!

6, 7 and 9 do it for me, not bad from a compact!
