Roy Haslett Preparations Bishopscourt Stages 2010

A few photos from Ballynahinch Motor Club organized 2WD rally with 55 entries, including a few 4WD N4 cars. C&C welcomed as always to improve my skills.

That second shot is awesome.

your shutter speed is way too high. For motorsport panning you need to get a lot more motion in the wheels to give the sensation of movement otherwise you get the effect of 2 where it looks like it has been photoshopped in. I never go above 1/500 for motorsport. not even for the F1

sorry to be critical but its just how I see it.

If they had movement they would all be brilliant!

Thanks chonhzilla!
ViperZS, it's not critical, it's advise I tried to do 1/200 1/160 etc but just with the massive 70-200 2.8 and canon 7D it was so hard to keep it steady in the wind (track is based beside airstrip) so all photos came out blurry, so I just gave up and went for sharp ones instead of blurry panned ones.

id lower the shutter speed more but other than that the shots are great and clear.

ahh yes, cant beat the wind snapping up the lens mid pan! I've had that before, it's not ideal!

Cheers!

Reno_LV, this is a good clean set of pictures that you can be proud of.

At first I didn't even notice the lack of blurred wheels etc., as I enjoyed the quality of the pics

edit: I love the pic of the flying C2 in the Flickr set!

Thanks very much JTLarsen, that means a lot as I try hard to get photos people like and I'm very new to photography!

nice pics. the wee C2 sounded first class. what happened all the other togs? They all recovering from playing their wee flutes the day before??

thanks for sharing Reno
