I took some photos at a local Car Rally yesterday. It's the first time I have attempted Speed/Pan shots and I would like some C&C please.

I'm still new at this and am learning all the time, so please go easy on me.

Thanks

Dave



PS - Not really sure how you attach larger files/photos to the post, hence the attached thumbnails !!!

Can't see much wrong in those Dave.

If being really picky then then main subjects are a tad soft and a touch lacking in pop.
The background blur is fine though, giving a real sense of speed.

I'd also like the cars to be a touch more into the picture.
They seem to be cropped or framed a little tight to the left on some.

Generally really good though.
Hard to believe you still new at it

That one with the yellow car is a cracker! Really like the angle of the motion with the tyres.

Thanks for the comments guys-

Only being doing this since March this year with a Nikon D200 with 18-70 lens !!

Learning all the time ...

I think the 205 stands out. Nice simple composition with room for the car to drive into.

I little unsharp mask, and a tweak of the contrast might help them leap out a bit more.

Yes, the 205 is a great image too - the colours (including the empty foreground), the blur and the composition all come together to give it a certain something.

Yeah I like the 205 too. Nice composition and backgrond. I've never seen a Volvo 205 before.

Just messed around on Photoshop Elements with this one -
