Hello all,

Criticism / thoughts welcome!

very cool,

id crop it tho to get rid of that tiny black triangle at the bottom and green triangle at the top

Great shot! Very much in focus. I agree on the crop. I would also use an even slower shutter speed to get even more blurring action...

Very nice. Looks like it be used a magazine advertisement.

I agree on the crop. My eye was immediately drawn to the lower left corner. Well done and i like the sharpness of the car with the blur. Looks like some tricky driving in close quarters to get this one.

Venturi · 07-14-2008, 01:13 PM

Great shot. Just please tell us you weren't the one driving. LOL

axl · 07-14-2008, 01:15 PM

what a great intro to the forums...
so welcome.
Great shot, but I agree on the crop.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The crop? no worries, that's an easy one to fix!

If I run it at a slower shutter speed, my only worry is the whole lot would be blurrrryyy..

Agree, what shutter speed did you use, then?

MRRiley · 07-15-2008, 03:49 PM

Very nice first shot. Not sure that I agree that you needed a slower shutter speed for more blur though. A tad less DOF behind the car would have thrown that part of the cliff out of focus enough to make it smoother without making it harder to track the car. Always a tough call though. Best to try lots of variables though really this one is almost as good as it gets. Well done and welcome to the forum.
