PORC winter series (inc round 2)

Was an awful day weather wise, but managed to get a few shots before either me or my camera drowned.









Any comments and crit much appreciated!

i love the motion blur on the first photo and the colours are great, they're all great, the one with the tyre tracks well the only thing that i can think of is that the marks arent very clear. But sick shots Very Happy

the second one is great, nice shot. Where were these taken?

First one suffers from big-arse-itis too much, but I love the motion blur with the spectator. Second is a cracker. Fourth is okay.

Third doesn't quite have enough isolation or clarity and the tyre tracks don't look deep enough to be interesting from a riders perspective. But I like the idea.

Good work fella.

They were taken at PORC which is in Penshurst, near Tunbridge Wells in Kent.

lol!  Laughing

As for the tyre track shot - yes i agree with you both - in retrospect i should have got one further down the track where the mud was pretty much ankle deep. I wanted to get a shot of some splattered riders as well but it just didn't seem to happen.

In the first shot, do you think i should have cropped the leaves out of the bottom right of the shot?

Cheers for your feedback guys, much appreciated!
Hamish

I don't know about cropping the leaves out or not. It might look tidier but it doesn't avoid the horrible effect of using a wide angle when the rear wheel is closer to the camera than the front. Laughing
simpson

you could of but it does sort of frame the shot.

Is it really charlie? didnt realise.

On second thoughts I don't think I would crop out the leaves - cheers for your thoughts.
