Hello from Belfast

Welcome Viper
I have a liking for the bikes myself, but the dirt variety

Welcome to the forum, Gareth.

I'm going to buck the trend here, I think many of the images are too soft, especially the first two. The first pic of the sign is not sharp and, I'm afraid is not particularly dramatic. The 2nd shot of the buildings is not sharp either.

Many of the bike shots are great at showing action but are let down (in my view anyway) by not being sharp. I'm not sure whether it is due to DOF/focus point or shutter speed not quite freezing the action.

Can I recommend that you only post 3-4 images at a time to critique please? I get a bit daunted by seeing loads of images asking for C&C and I end up either generalising about the set or not bothering to comment at all.

I hope I haven't upset you (or anyone else), this is just my opinion and I'm far from an expert myself.

Thank you for your honesty. I have been told that the shots look 'noisy' (whatever that means) and I agree with you, the images are lacking sharpness. I want to get to the point where I can put my pictures up on the wall in the garage and out of the 3000 or so shots I've taken to date, there isn't one worthy of the honour yet, but hopefully it's come at some point.

I am aware that action shots (especially high speed ones) are really difficult to capture so all I can do is as for help and keep shooting (part of the reason why I signed up.

Thanks again all for the warm welcome, I'm feeling at home already.
