A few pics from the Nurburgring

[tertius]

I'm quite happy with these few (out of about 300 ... )

Taken during free practice for the Old Timer GP, Saturday morning:





and this taken in the pits on Friday:



The rest of the pics (that I've bothered to host) are here: http://www.tertius.me.uk/Nurburgring_Aug07.html but they are mainly just "snaps".

Comments welcome.

Really like the pics
I'm loving the composition on #1 and #2.


I'd dial in a touch of local contrast enhancement and some detail sharpening to make them 'pop' a bit more.
Thats just me though, personal preference stuff really

Yeah, love the picture of the Lotus coming over the brow. (don't like the tree in the right of the frame

Cheers guys.

I'll have a stab at the changes you dsuggest, but post-processing is most definitely not my forte ...

I actually like the bit of foliage bottom right, but I can see why you might prefer it without.

I think if the tree was a little bit more in focus then it would make a better frame for the picture but as it is it just looks like its got in the way. All in my opinion of course

That actually looks like a great weekend, I think my dad would love that. Does it get very busy there ??

Lots of tutorials on the web for post work
If your using lightroom - take a look at the 'clarity' slider for some local contrast enhancement.
If your using photoshop - then take a look at the Unsharp Mask for both the contrast enhancement and detail sharpening.



I'm liking the foreground trees they add depth to the shot.
Though, ironically, i think they also help to convey the enclosed nature of the nurburgring as they blend into the background trees further up in the frame.
As has been said, this stuff is all hugely subjective though

Cheers.
