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.

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.

That all white bike reminds me of a woeful David Essex movie called 'Silver Dream Racer.' Although your photograph is heaps better than the film ever was :)

Jeff, nice images. I like the first one better, it's sharper, although easier to focus from the side I suppose :D

Are they with the new Sgma?????

On different note I got the course details (maps, estimated course times, photography locations etc) for the October Bathurst Rally. Should be good!

EDIT:

You answered my question before I posted it!
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

G'day Jeff,
Wow that first one's a magazine shot! Great colour, sharp as, nice sense of motion with the wheel blur...

Gee, there's some absolute corker motor sports images being posted lately...

Hi jeff,

good pictures, great sharpness, but i think you can take the pictures with small speed, like the 1/400, 1/320.

Thank you alex2k for your comments. Are you suggesting a shutter speed of 1/400 to gain motion blur of the wheels, your input of information is of get interest to me .
