A few of them could have done a little better with bumping up the ISO, and over-compensating a little (the first two seemed more exposed for the surroundings, instead of the object).

The 2 close-ups of the emblems need more DOF.

Good first try though.

First few are a little OOS, bump up the iso for sure and that'll let you use a slightly faster shutter speed thus making the images more crisp. I'd also think about getting a cheap monopod, great when starting out, i used one for a while to get the hang of things and get crisper images until i bought an IS lens.

I have an IS lens but someone told me to turn it off when shooting panning shots...

Also whats a good speed to use when doing panning shots?

Thanks for the advise

1/160 and 1/200 or higher (but not more than 1/320)
