A load more here, but there is a mixture between Panasoniz Lumix TZ and Sony a100. Which took which is detailed with the enlarged version.

Overall, I'm really quite happy with the results. Tony tells me a polarising filter would benefit when taking pictures of my black car, which I'll give a go in future.

Right, I'm going to comment on my own then! smile

This one was particularly annoying to see on screen. Whilst taking it (precariously perched over the edge of a considerable drop!) I ensured that the white line that curved round definitely was fully in shot, but what hit the CCD is not. In future I need to ensure I have what I intended more carefully/thoroughly on the replay.

Yeah, but where's the big drift marks from hooning round the bend?

Missed this bunch first time around...

1 is very nice. Sums the event up very well (a 'feel like you're there' shot), and isn't a bad pic to boot...

4,5, and 7 really appeal...love the settings!

6 is an 'oh so nearly' shot...which I get plenty of too!!!

1) I had a rev limiter in the car (called Sarah) and 2) I don't have 850 ponies like you!! smile

nmber 3 I really like. The legs, as we were saying earlier, are one of those things though that next time you're behind the viewfinder will wait until are out of shot, or just tell the guy to get lost biggrin I really like the shallow depth of field and the clear Ferrari sign in the foreground. when I (eventually) post mine up you'll see how much I like these type of shots biggrin

4 is really nice as well. Nice composition with the fence. A circular polariser would have worked perfectly there just to, ever so slightly, reduce the random light in the sky giving you a clearer more richly coloured sky. Ace shot though biggrin

5; spot on yes absoluely great shot that, I really do like it. That's a keeper (perhaps just play with the levels ever so slightly).

6; I think it's a really nice shot, but the car gets lost a bit. Both the car and Sarah you struggle a little to comprehend and see easily, so a suggestion may be to have the car a lot more in the foreground (next time maybe get Sarah to drive it past you up/down/up/down)? It works well, great choice of location, but perhaps as I say the car could be a bit more prominent. Not a great shot, but this is one I took on the IOM of Stu's car, bringing it slightly more in the foreground. (the coppers did come say hi though because of the noise hehe)


7; very nice. I think you should invest in that circular polariser - the shot itself doesn't lack without it, but with it you'll see it allows you to control the reflections and on a black car will make it look almost dripping wet biggrin

Now, after all of that I must say that I am a total amateur (if that), and so all my comments should be taken with a very big pinch of salt. BUT, hopefully they've given you a constructive comments that you can then think about next time you're behind the viewfinder....whether you agree with me or not biggrin

What I should ALSO say, is chuffing great pictures and thanks for putting them all up biggrin

What I should ALSO say is that my word that is a stunning lotus elise just-bit-of that you can see hehe

Thanks for comments biggrin

Also,



Looks a bit weird though - incorrect use of fisheye!

That looks good that! I like shots like that (like your corner shot in the hotel with the mist) as it's obvious you're close and with a fisheye effect so to me that shot of my car is a cracker (thanks!).

Great colour sky, too.
