First attempt at panning

[Hixle]

Hi guys, I know some of these are up in another section but really looking for some feedback from you lot

Went to Combe the other day for the first time, was also the first time I've taken my camrea trackside.

All taken directly from the camera with a few slight crops. These were the best out of around 300 or so shots.

C & C much appriciated.

Cheers,

Luke

Great shots, just let down by the barriers at the front IMO.

seem ok to me, agreed barriers detract slightly - however the Aston image is helped by the tyres, gives a sense of depth and also adds to the frame.

Exposures and choice of Shutter speed seem spot on, providing they are pin sharp you are are on the right tracks.

Look great fella...I popped my track photo cherry recently and its all about the settings really.

Probably my fav due to them coming past at 100mph+ so catching them was pretty hard (for me anyway lol)

Not bad for a first attempt!
Just keep practising, and gradually keep lowering the shutter speed

 

[Tigger]

Not a bad attempt
My track photos got the car in focus, background blurred ok but the wheels looked umm "parked" lol

Crackin piccys.

The looky pretty damn good to me in terms of technique. I don't like the extreme angles on some, but other than that and the barriers I'd be happy with them.

Very good for a first go!! The red Mk2 and green Aston are my favourites, lots of motion blur and very sharp, and some nice lockage on the 306.

What settings were you using?

 

[Hixle]

Cheers for the feedback guys, taking it all in and hopefully getting to some more track days to practise in.

Will find out the settings later Steven, they're my two favourites too. Off the top of my head the red mk2 was shutter speed 1/50; really suprisied myself at how sharp it came out.

Just over an hour mate, was in my mates P1 though. Lol.

I fancy going down again soon(ish) if you're planning on going?

Nice shots, certainly for a first time good effort.

The Aston shot is excellent, well framed and panned well.

For me the framing is the main thing to try and improve. But this comes with practice and im sure you found you got better during the day anyway.

Only other thing is that do look like they were taken on a high aperture, which is probably why the tyres are so obvious (the large dept of field has meant you dont have much Bokeh (blur) in the foreground) It is also causing your dust spots on the sensor to show.

Cheers Nick. Didn't even notice the dust specs, need to get that sorted!
