Pics are on Facebook, you do not need to register to view them.... I don’t have any other place to host them where I can upload multiple photos with ought having to do it individually... suggestions on this aspect would also be appreciated.</p>

I just started "seriously" taking pictures and even more so with a real camera.. even if it is a little old... Shot with a Canon 300D using either a 28-300mm L, 19-35mm, 50mm, or a 35-135mm lens, almost all with the 1st two. Pics are 20% size of the originals...<br>

I can post larger versions of any pics for critique at request ! All opinions, suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.<br>

Thanks for looking.<br>

<p>OK, shooting this stuff ain't easy, and you've gotten some reasonable first-time results. Without knowing what settings you were using, it's hard to say why, but everything looks slightly "soft' in focus. You really need to shoot at least a bit of fill flash on just about everything, even in daylight. It helps "pop" the cars and allows you to maybe go to a faster shutter speed when you need it. It would also help with things like the pit board shadow across the nose of the car in one shot. The shot of Montoya seated in the car in the garage is good...nicely composed and properly lit. On the slow corner shots, think about going to a slower shutter speed, maybe even 1/60, to get a bit of wheel blur....avoid the "parked on the track" look you can get when everything is frozen. Don't get greedy by zooming too close until you've really got the panning down. Practice, practice, practice and above all when you're shooting at the track, BE SAFE! Good luck.</p>
