1 Panning - 1 park, What do you think?

2 shots from earlier this week.

The Panning shot was captured with a 50D w/ 70-200 f/2.8L IS I

The park bench shot was captured with a 50D w/ 100mm Macro

Both processed in Adobe Lightroom and sharpened in Photoshop.

Thanks for any feedback!

I like both of these, but:

1, too much negative space?

2, foreground slightly overexposed, texture of the board is completely washed out

100% agreed. negative space is good but only if it is effectivly used.

i still like the photos alot, i love driving my nitro rc. wish i could get a hpi or losi like you have

**off topic** How do you like the 100mm f/2.8 macro? i think i am going to get this lens next. all the pictures i see from it just make me want it **back on topic**

The reason I left the upper negative space is for the dirt that is being slung from the tires.

Good point! I will have to get back in LR and tweek it as probably will be added to an 8 X 10 frame next time Ritz runs a printing special

Oh, the 100mm is one of my favorite lenses! Super sharp and so versatile (from macro to tele-shooting & everything in between, it's amazing! Love using it whenever I can! Of course a little long for walk-around shooting, but I still use it as such sometimes because I love the bokeh and sharpness it gives! Much lighter than my 70-200 which is why I choose it a lot of times because I will typically carry 2 cameras.

My g/f has the 100mm L and will say IQ I can't tell a difference, but the feel of the L is nicer, has IS, and of course it looks better! But, does it capture better images than my cheaper non-L, I can't tell!

it would be nice to have that red ring on it but i wont care if i get the non L. im using a tamron 70-300 without IS (VC for tamron) and im used to it.

im going to see if my school has one tomorrow so i can borrow it, just found out about being able to borrow gear from them
