OK Here's my effort....pretty obvious, and no artistic interpretation of the title "Speed", but I love the picture and thought you might too, as its pretty topical at the moment.

Why topical, Steve? TVRs have been belching oil for years!

Notes -
Set off this morning with no intention of anything ending up on this thread but on review, I thought the above pic fitted in (with my interpretation) so as the whole thing was my suggestion, here it is!

That duck needs to visit Quaife! Defo no LSD! He'll never get a good life out of his webbed feet if he spins 'em up like that too much. Nice one, Hank.

In terms of panning these two make me feel fast! (Made a bit wobbly by the PH image re-size thingy.)

Sorry - just found the "rules" on the other thread. Might have been an idea to post them at the start of this thread!

[GetCarter]

errr... being in the middle of nowhere, where the closest thing to speed is a visiting geography student on amphetamines I had to be a bit 'left field' (actually it was the bottom field by I don't care if you don't).

Taken about 30 mins ago.



Nikon D1X - 200 ISO - JPG fine mode - Nikor 70-300.
Took the pic of the lambs, pointed the camera up... took the pic of the plane and in PS pasted the plane into the field of view of the lambs.

Me... cheat?

Nice pics BTW... love the exige.

My "Novice" attempt taken at the Historic Rally show last weekend so technically last month, but it's within a month so it's in. Any tips on taking good motorsport pictures? I found it very hard to get a steady shot while panning.

Am I wrong or was it on the GP circuit at Brands? (or maybe the Ring?)

Great pic anyway.

How long has that been in force then? It's spoiling some beautiful images.
Right-click -> 'View image' displays them as intended, but it's a bit of a chore when reading a thread devoted to photos.

[HankScorpio]

Couple of weeks, it's better to resize before posting, it's doing some very arbitrary resizing.
