Karts

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi Hardware, these are good shots but just a few sugestions, on a sunny day try and get on the bright side if possible if not you be best to use flash for fill, maybe get down a bit lower as well i know it is hard to make these things look good.

Yeah BBJ nailed it... good advice, plus look for those clear visers! after a while karts can be the same but a nice tight shot can uncover some great facial expressions.... I hate tinted visers (except for my own :D )
D4, D700, plus glass from 14mm to 200mm

some good moments there,

1st shot good position - but the sunny reflection is giving you hot sposts
try photographing before the reflections appears esp if the sun is right behind you. the reflection will be directly in front of you = bad panning position. or wait for clouds to soften light- lost of a few stops of light.

in Johns pic, it looks like it cloudy so you position won't really matter, just choice your fav spots. in full sunlight shooting back lit cars is a pain, try not to use flash, may result in upset driver.either choose another spot or wait for sun to change position
