Lots of Dirt

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.

John you are like a fine wine - getting better all the time. Even if the iso was wrong (IYO) the pics are great, in particular #1 and #2

Thanks peeps like i siad nothing outstanding as it is a bit hard to make some cars flogging around a flat grassy block look good and very dusty i cant tell you they did have a water cart to keep it down a bit but yeh was only a promo thing as the real action starts tomorrow and i am on my way out there shortly to find a some good spots to set up. The course is about 280 ks with the different stages they have, anyhow i will post some more after the event, sometime today i have to try fit a MotoX in as well if i get time.
Ok and i know i should have went for that spin in the EVO but next time maybe.
Cheers

The first one is fantastic. A nice tight crop showing nothing but the car and the action. Sweet!!!
