Here we go:

OK, I guess I gotta get the commentary going as well:

1. Good balance across the frame, purty colors.

2. Crop is all wrong, too much garbage in the top of the frame.

3. BMW is soft. Look! An airplane!

4. Shutter speed not slow enough.

5. Good action considering you're just sporting your 500 on the 'pod and you're too close to pan the shot as it goes by.

(Image removed) 6. Meh.

7. Oooooohh, how did you get the airfield tower under the bridge?

(Image removed) 8. Meh.

9. Nice light and composition.

10. Not too shabby for a blue vest guy.


See, that's not too hard.

As per forum rules here http://community.automotivephoto.net/forums/announcement.php?f=19&a=7 please limit yourself to 8 images, rather than the 10. Also, its a bit easier for people to comment if you number each image. Thanks!

Bill:

Not sure why there is the possibility to upload 10 images, and have the upload utility state that I have uploaded the max number of images (10) if the limit is in fact 8.

Is there a way to number images that are uploaded to the website, rather than linked from an offsite URL?

[Bill Jurasz]

Hoping John will chime in, I'm wondering if I misinterpreted the 8 image rule.

[John Thawley]

Not a big deal. The upload limit is supposed to be 8 but had been "set" in the admin panel to 10 to accommodate the Monthly Assignment voting.

It's not really possible to number attachments... only hyperlinked images.

The next to last one has to be my favorite of the set, it captures the warm light, it shows the grit of endurance racing, and I like the high contrast, just like that shot, and I am no Corvette freak.

Glad to see some images coming in...

For some reason, I like the lens flare in the 02 Patron car shot, usually that sort of thing bugs me. It has a searchlight quality to it.

In a completely uncritical assessment, I like 'em all! :D

Seriously, they all offer something that I find interesting, and I'm a sucker for such nicely saturated images.

It's one of those "lucky" occurrences to have a guy on the other side of the track fire his flash while your shutter is open. I agree with you on the lens flare thing, most of the time it takes away from the shot, but for whatever reason there are some shots where it adds a unique element to the image.

Thanks for taking the time.

When selecting what to post, I did go with the different look to most of these, but in retrospect, it looks like I didn't do enough daytime panning work.

Thanks Neil for the kind words.
