Default V8 Supercars - Phillip Island.

Well I went on raceday. Took a whole lot of photos and I was not very impressed by a lot of them. I managed to sort out a few that I liked..

Hey Nidz,

The first two are pretty good.
I'd be happy with both of them.
I wouldn't have bothered with the 3rd shot - it's just too soft all the way through.
I don't mine #4 but a slightly slower shutter speed would have helped put a bit more motion blur in the wheels

First two are crackers...last few are a little too soft....most of my piccies suffer from the same issue.

The first shot is really nice. I like the last one because it shows a bit of the shoreline which on it's own is incredible, but as mentioned, a little soft.

Thanks for your comments.. Yeah I tried various lenses but duer to the overcast day It was hard to get anything that quick on 100ISO. I don't particularly like going much higher because of the noise I tend to get but I think the first tracking was spot on. All of them were hand-held.
