[dunganick]

Very low light, but pretty pleased for my first time,

Not bad mate. What setup are you using?

 

[dunganick]

cheers, Its a canon 400d these were all taken with the 90-300 lense, high iso, hense the grain on some pics. Had the camera 2 days, loving it so far.

 

[theduck]

Cool. Well technically they seem ok. Your only 'issue' is your composition, that will come with practice as much as anything though.

Nice pics

great pictures.. you will live that camera Sharkyuk has the either the same one or the one before it and he has taken some cracking photos just with the standard lense..

Was this at Brands yesterday? if so Honda on Track were there and a few of my friends I would have been there myself if I didnt have to work

 

[JoelDee]

Good pics

 

[dunganick]

Hi mate,

[dunganick]

More to follow as image shack churns away

 

[Zorba_the_greek]

Wow great stuff mate!

will keep flicking back

 

[dunganick]

image shack is being a pain atm, so will try and sort it later this eve, only a few to come, two of a civic in a gravel trap, which might be of intrest to some?

Honda ones look better. Have you got photoshop? it could probably neaten some of them up quite nicely!

EDIT:

Just had a play with this one for you, hope you dont mind...

 

[dunganick]

all of the honda ones have been photoshoped

sharped and croped, unfortunatly because of the rubbish light most of the honda ones arnt quite as sharp as the mg's.

BTW, cant see your pic atm, and got no problem with you editing them.

Great pics for a first time, only thing i would say is next time drop the shutter speed slighty to get more of a feel for the movement of the cars. I noticed that the shots of the wheel are very static.

Heres a link to the image http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/12/34505371051.jpg I have just played around with brightness, contrast and saturation.

 

[dunganick]

was running 1/320 which was the slowest i could use without blurring the cars unfortunatly, plus i was taking pics as they were braking, so cars arnt actually going that fast lol.

but yeh, i take your point, Hopefully will get some more practice soon, maybe on a brighter day.

and you managed to make it look over saturated and to much contrast... the original was better...

nice pics, the civic infront of the skyline is supposed to be deadly fast as far as i know? got any pics of the skyline???

and your composition is fine...

each to their own.

The composition on thje Honda photographs is good, however when I mentioned a need to improve his composition I was referring to the photographs that had been posted at the time, and the close up photographs of the MGFs are not well composed IMO.

I dont want to get into an argument with you about it, especially as you seem to just want to b**ch at me for my comments. At the end of the day, photography is a form of art and peoples views on what looks good and what doesnt varies greatly. I prefer the version I have edited, oyu prefer the original, thats fine.

Would love to see some of your photographic work.

Surprised you could get all those photos of the MG's for them all breaking down in a cloud of smoke lol top pics there

 

[dunganick]

not many pics of the skyline and those i did take are mostly out of focus or blured, but got 3 that are okish.

ok the mg pics aint great but not all of them are bad, compo wise, just thought as this was his first time using his camera you were a little harsh...

personally i think his version of the civic and the liner is fine, and yours is just too oversaturated, but thats just personal preference...

i have alot of my pics online but my comercial work i dont have atm, as the company i work for owns them as i sell them direct and dont really keep any i just take finished work to put in to my folio however most of it has alot of graphics work done to it....

pm me if you wish and i will forward you some links.
