It was not my fault! lol, we were walking down the past the grid, then all these female types came out scantily clad onto the grid so we just stopped where we were.....

[Allen Mead]

lol about forum name, I always use my proper name or you end up sounding like a right prat when you meet someone, hehe

[Wazza]

Grid girls! Never saw those. :o

Nice shots -
:lol: at story - that was me asking what's the forum name.. Errr :p

[Allen Mead]

lol, no worries, I was gutted that I didn't get any pics of the black porche that flamed excessively, my bloody battery ran out doh!

[Taity]

I'd just like to point out that it was Wazza, not I.. ;)

[Wazza]

I don't think I'll be getting a 50D then, if they run out that quick!

[Baldone]

[Paul C-J]

Really like no 5 BMW , the colours work really well with the rumble strips... pity about the barrier in the foreground

Thanks Paul, that's the trouble with the small zoom lens, the barries have a nasty habbit of getting in the way. :confused:

Saturday was a bit of a work on my technique day. I discovered that when I was panning and hitting the shutter release, I was actually moving the camera down at the same time - stupid boy pike. Something I'd never noticed conciously before, tried hard not to do it and my keeper rate definately improved. Also started holding mybreath as well which seemed to work for me, live and learn.

I like the girl with 3 legs in the first picture.

Lol! She was banned from school sports day as she had an unfair advantage.

[Dave_G]

[Allen Mead]

lol, oops sooorrrry Dave. it was good to finally meet, thanks for the comments, I do think I have improved, but still a long long way to go!

Allen, at first I miss-read your nick name. I thought it was "Mad-Allen," especially when you focused so well on the girlies and have the word "Toilets," so clearly in focus also. Don't know where I got that from! I think your photos of the girlies are sharper than the cars!! Hmmmm, very nice/good and the photo of the guy almost looking at a cleavage made me smile also.

I wanted to be there over the weekend, but, it was not possible. I may see the motorbikes later.

I think the photos are fine, but, like myself, the more practice the better you will be and you are doing well. Keep it up and maybe check what words are in the background of your image is my only suggestion, however, it did make me smile anyway.

Thanks for your kind comments Mstar, you're right about backgrounds, but then I just got carried away :cool:

#6 is a great shot, my favorite of the bunch. #7 took me a while to figure out, the OOF wall being right along with the plane of the wheels plays tricks on my eyes, am I the only one? Overall a great series, seems like you must have had a great time!
