    Wow, tough conditions, high BRIGHT sunshine, white cars....

    I'd have tried to get off patterned metering, use a Center Weighted or spot.

    I'd have tried to used some +/- EV to bring out the shadows of the grilles.

    All in all not a bad attempt...

    Nice Shots

    That is the first jag I have seen in a race like this.

    Thanks for posting

    You didn't have the best of conditions,
    I like the angles in the firs two,
    the composition in the first one is lacking, a lot of action is happening at the back of the car that is cut off. All of the ones from the course look soft, I don't know why but will speculate that it is missed focus although it could also be from the heat coming off the street.
    I like the low angle nose shot the best for it's composition but think the exposure could be better.
    The color seems off to me in a few,

    Agreed, tough conditions. Although lighting wasnt perfect, the composition and timing of the first pic of the Jag was one of my favorites. I love the pic of the Audi R8, nothing to say about that one.

    Loved the Pics

    Yeah I hate days like that, but I think you've done OK.

    I love the angle on the R8 shot thumb.gif

    Also, is it an M1? The last shot? Without the woman on the right, I like it. Has an old school look to it.

    Not for certain but it looks like an M1 really rare.
