they are pritty good but a longer lense would of been better good first attempt though

Second Mini one is my favourite.

What route were they doing, down to Sartfield or up to Injebreck?

That orange Mk2 is always brilliant to watch

Not bad! Get a telephoto lens and you should get some cracking shots!

cant really comment cos i've never done it. but a longer lens would help, and moving away from the house/building in the background would take attention away from it. kinda looks busy with that in the background, if that makes sense.

Great first attempts. Need to get to some motorsport and give it a go really myself. What focal length these shot at?

I disagree with that, I know you probably won't be aware but that house is a well known landmark in Manx rallying and I think including it has added to the composition - I've never seen a shot like that before, usually the cottage forms a static background for shots coming round the nearby hairpin. I might try a similar shot if I'm there in May/July

Very good for a first go, whilst a longer lens would produce more 'traditional' pans with the car filling a greater % of the frame, i quite like the distant frames, its one i will be trying this year i think. For example this shot:

(not mine, stolen from POTN: member is Matt Mead)

As has been mentioned i would maybe consider trying to get a slightly less cluttered background, i might also move the car to the bottom of the frame so you have less foreground and more background/sky. I also find cars always look better from as low as you can get. If you can see their roof they dont often look amazing. Not sure why, just something i personally try to do/not do.

Look forward to seeing your 2nd attempt.

thanx for all the comments.


Gary, they were going up round the triangle then down heading to Kirk michael/startfield (you know how crap i am at manx places!lol)

totally agree they should be a bit fuller on some on them.

Used a bigger lens on a few but if im honest i had my 3 yo son with me sat in the car so had to stay close to him.
