Wow Mole2K - the sense of speed in that second shot is pretty cool. Grass really looks great for RC shots. I just can't get astro to look interesting at all, but you've managed it in the first shot. Nice.
Spoolio, yeah - I'll look into the modes - it's just a compact camera after all, so I'm not too sure how complex the IS is. I think it just set on "auto". Hmm. Will research.
BigG, cool shot. I usually crop in a bit on shots like that, but I think I might have gone a bit nuts with the 'ole croppage... Nice one though!
JCJC, cheers for the encouraging words!
Nevertheless, I must say that dirt does look cool though. With some of the other shots from that afternoon in California I got the panning a bit sharper.
I like this first one even though the primary car's a bit blurry since you can clearly see the other car totally blurred out. (That car's streaky paintjob helps too!)
Quite chuffed with the sharpness of this one.
Again, got this one sharp in the back, and blurry in the front. Bummer though, as it'd have been cool!
If this one'd been sharper it'd have got some good story-telling value as the driver's at opposite lock trying to recover!
These last two really show off how great dirt looks!
Thanks for the tips - can't wait to take more photos. We need some dirt track over here though!
