    few track day pics

    this was hard to shoot. it would cloud up, go dark, sun popping out, everything turning green and was hell adjusting the white balance, these are just a couple.

    Re: few track day pics

    I hope that Ducati rider on the white bike paid attention to their riding as well as to the photographer!

    Several good shots here that I'd really like if they showed a bit of speed either via panning and blur or some slightly different framing.

    Watch the Photography Software and Post Processing as I think we need to post some on how to balance WB and exposure among several shots. Depending upon software it is not terribly difficult as long as you know a couple of tricks.

    Again, cool bike cornering shots!

    Some great shots there, Loads of eye contact.

    Some are a bit static but i usually struggle with this as well. If i turn down the shutter speed i end up with everything including the bike blurred

    Well done

    Re: few track day pics

    Love #2 in the 1st post and the last one in the 2nd post. The top one may not have any motion blur, but looks great. I am one that loves frozen action. I know I may be in the minority.

    The one in the 2nd post in my opinion, shows motion blur in the wheels and the chain. I like how the chain is bowed slightly with the motion blur. The bike is clear and the background is blurred.

    Nice job.
