Pentax K10D with DA* 16-50mm and DA* 50-135mm

nice, i loved it too :) what time did you go at? i went at 8am this morning -.-

great job panning! :)

anything 35i is amazing! My mom just bought a 335i yesterday, wow. what a hawk car! almost as fast as mine too! :p

Boostslut, 1 is the better picture. Play with the colour and contrasts a bit more, try separating the car from the background a little more

Thanks Mananetwork! So separating the car from the background, it means how it sounds? Park a bit further away from the background? Good feedback.

What's nice about it is you had back light, so the background wasn't as well exposed as the the car. More separation would of been good, but you were on the right track to start with. I saw you shot at F6.3, something like 2.8 or 4 would of helped. What you can do now is playing with contrast and isolating the car with vignetting or something cool.

Edit: PS, some tire dressing would have been good!

I hope you don't mind, I saw tons of potential in this image... So I played around with it a little.. JUST a little

Spoiler!

That's a really cool shot, except you're straight-on to your front wheel and it looks like there's nothing there at all :)

Looks like he:

-boosted saturation
-turned up contrast
-maybe USM (unsharp mask)

Did I miss anything? Maybe some dodging and burning here and there, but probably not.

.....oh yeah and a crop too.

A good start...you already seem to have some principles down pat.

Like Soundy has already mentioned, the wheel turns might need to be taken care of better in your shots. Just keep in mind that sometimes a straight wheel works too! :)

sweet G. ooo, maybe i should get into flash photography

I like the last one...best juxtaposition of the colours.

Wes post your 1 series pics! Nice shots ckrieg :).

creative usage of lighting... i like it
