I posted these in the main forum but no doubt people will just comment about the cars so I'm posting them here too.

Never really photographed motor sport before, so I really wanted to pop along to a Brands Hatch track day and get a few snaps.

C&C welcome as always...

I find panning shots quite boring to look at after a while. I always try and capture some action shots.

I think the vignette effect is too strong on some of them, but other than that, they're okay.

I love the 997 turbo one (although it looks a little too surface blurred).

It's my first attempt at panning so not had a chance to get bored yet.

Not much action at all to be honest.

Well as far as panning shots go, they're pretty good. Better then my first try.

Far too much shadowing on them for my liking...I think a simple border would have worked better.

The panning is decent though.

And you said there wasn't much action
Looks like that GT3RS saw a bit too much. Poor bugger.

That was literally the only crash I saw, and even then I only saw it after it happened.

Cheers Matt. I think the effect is a bit marmite. A few people have said they love them, but the majority of people hate them. I'm just trying to be a bit different as panning shots get boring after a while.

Most people won't look in Snap Day so they won't see them at all. I only posted it in the general forum as there's a few forum members doing the track day and they'd probably be a lot more interested than most of the 'togs on here!

Good shots but the PP lets them down a little.
