Finished my first attempt at processing todays Hillclimb photos, im very happy TBH, ive got 400 infocus sharp shots out of 800, of them 400 ive got 125 that im sending for printing and 76 uploaded that are differant enough. This is easily the highest % of keepers ive had on any shoot and makes me feel im getting better.

I tend to have a second stab at processing as i feel thats still my biggest weakness, since using Aperture ive got more confidance to play with the sliders, as it doesnt seem to introduce the harsh noise RSP and PSCS2 seem to, so based on any comments and critisism recieved I will update the gallery to suit.

If uyou would beso kind as to have a browse through, and pic out any to critic id be very appreciatative. Please check past the first page, I need to randomise them as they are all uploaded in order of taking so the viewpoints get repetative.

Thanks in advance, Darryn.

Thanks for the comments, ive not done much cropping on most of them (just cropped to 4x3 from printing), but your saying basically, crop either much closer in on the driver/detail, or crop wider and leave more room for the cars to travel into. Thanks very much I can work with that and I will check through and see if I can improve any using that info.

Thanks Matt, I found a really good headon position of the cars coming out of the last corner, I was laying on the ground at the side of the track peeping around a barrier, great, and then a marshall came and moved me.... I hadnt noticed the 4 no entry signs id passed to get there.

To try and get a bit more feedback here are my favourite 5, please tell me whats wrong with these so I can try and improve on them in future events.
