Get rid of the overcast sky? Cars always look better in high light. Of course that's not always an option, more of a joke.

Your shutter speed was quite low though. Compare the front springs to the rear springs.

The car would look better, in that particular picture, if it were centered in the frame, not off to the side.

That section of the track looks like rubbish, the old green/brown/dirty astro and whatnot in the background. Try an angle that removes that area, maybe if you stand up, or catch cars that are further out in the turn, or even stand on the inside of the turn.

My main advicde is turn up the shutter speed, though.

Just my opinions.

@ RookieBOB - a good effort, it just looks like you were plain and simple struggling for enough light.

Whilst the shutter speed (1/1250) is fine for freezing the action, your chosen aperture (f5.6) hasn't given enough depth of field to get the whole car from front to back in focus at that focal length. The effect can be quite pleasing so keep experimenting, only in this case it may have looked better if the front of the car, where all the dynamic stuff is happening, rather than the rear was in sharp focus.

Cropping in closer to the car would also get rid of that messy and distracting astro in the background. With a bit more practice and some more forgiving light you'll get the hang of it.

A few less dynamic shots from my weekend, had orders to leave the camera at home but ignored them...

[mobile chicane]

one of my best car pics so far






I spent about 1/2 an hour getting this with a tripod in manual, I dont have photoshop and the few free downloads I've tried seem to crash whenever I try to install them so at the moment all my pics are unedited apart from croping done with nikons free software which comes witrh the d40 camera.




Bit of an odd one this, I dont usualy have £4k kicking around in used £20's so I thought I'd get a quick pic, I think it would have been a better pic if it was raining outside kind of money cant buy happiness thing.

Very nice photos mate.

If you want a good photoshop equivalent, you need a programme called "GIMP". Stupid name, awesome software. Just as powerful as photoshop, perhaps a little harder to use.... but it's free!

http://www.gimp.org/

It's a multi-platform programme, designed for Linux (where I use it) but works perfectly fine on windows. Make sure you download the windows version though. Great tutorials here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ including increasing dynamic range, sharpening without noise increase, selective colouring etc.
