Few from local rally event

[Semmonka]

Too bad all the snow melted away few weeks ago. I was hoping more snow or totally wet condition than just frozen gravel roads. Well maybe next time :D

Constructive C&C wanted. Please explain what works, what does not work, what I could do differently etc. Im open for good criticism. I just want to get better

Thanks for the comments all.
What comes to color pop, I think the weather was on my side this time :D
Area around the stage looked really grey so when I got there I knew this is
going to make colours really pop

[Tessa]

Great pics, I love to watch those old cars tear through the stages - and tiny Starlets are one of my all time favourite rally cars :)

[camerageorge]

Nice photos with some good rally action!

[Ian_H]

A great set of images with some good action and has been said already nice exposure and colours, the 2 shots of the Starlet are my pick


Cheers

As already stated, the exposure and colours looks spot on ... my only critisism would be that the composition on all of the photos could be improved ... IMHO of course ;)

[Semmonka]

Thanks for the comments everybody. Much appreciated

YES!! First critisism! Now could you please explain a bit how would you do it differently. I know cars are in center
now and in some photos it really does not make me happy. Something like rule of thirds maybe?
Have to play with some of the files that allows me to crop and see what works. Thanks for the comment mate

Pretty nice set, I don't think I've seen most of these cars before, but I'm young and a few thousand miles away from Finland and their special stash of autos, heh.

For me, #2 is the best, great panning done with it.
#4 Has very convincing movement to it as well with the blur of the wheels and the slung dirt.

You captured the cars well.

[jbanbury]

Glad you didnt take offence at my comments ... unfortunately most people only want to hear constant praise.

The 'Rule of thirds' is exactly what I meant, it was pointed out to me a long time ago and has certainly improved my photos. I'm not saying the 'rule' has to be applied to every photo, as some locations lead themselves to it more than others.

Thanks. You are right some of the cars are old. This event had own class for older cars. Old school style I would say :D

Of course I didnt. Remember that I asked for critisism. That is the way I can improve my shots. If I want to get constant praise, I can always ask my girlfriend :lol:

I was checking some of your pics and I have to say your composition looks really nice. I can tell when I see nice pic but its really difficult to make my mind when cropping my own shots :confused:

[gonças]

loving 5th. great colours

[Big Ant]

Quality shots but agree with some of the above comments

Maybe a slight angle on some of the crops would add some more drama to the shots

Thanks. I played with some of the pics yesterday and have to say different type of crops works much better. Have to remember that in future. Cheers all
