Zandvoort

Some photo's from the night race.
Did the PP just now but the actually night shot need more time but will upload them when ready.

The PP was a 10 second one so don't take it to heavy into account.

ps. do you know if you can have the EXIF data with photobucket?

ps. any tips or tricks to make the night shots look good, they are very dark like the first shot.

Quite decent pics for the difficult light for highly mobile subjects!

Yes, you can have EXIF with Photobucket, all of the above shots except the first one have the EXIF with them (FxIF add-on on Firefox does show them when right clicking and choosing properties from the context menu.

I think the first shot is fine, it is a night race after all. To brighten up you can put a white layer on top and choose layer mode soft light. Then turn the opacity back. Of course you can paint in a layer mask for those areas you don't want any lighter.

I like the last shot with the light trails. You could have done a series of exposures and combine them to bring out more detail in the surroundings.

Prieni

There is a slight softness, but I think they are great considering they are panning night shots. I like the light in 2 and 3, and the brake disc in 1

Agreed with Prieni, the brightness in first shot seems fine to me.

Thank you

Will have a go with what you suggest.

Didn't saw the Exif in the first photo but indeed it's in the others, photoshop must be the culprit.

I even darkened the last shot, but like said 10 second PP work so will upload another better version in time. I need to go over 30 minutes.

I like the first shot which has a lot of drama, possibly due to the low light. The red rim on the front wheel and the reflected red from the brake light are excellent. No. 2 is an excellent panning shot while the others are still very good considering you were doing action photography in very low light. That's not the easiest type of photography to do.

As David says you have done a pretty good job Stefan, considering they were shot at night
Numbers 1 and 5 for me, I love the glowing brake disk and the car pitched forward in number 1.... about to negotiate a corner or two I suspect

A superb collection Stefan, you did very well indeed under those conditions. My favourite is number 2 - the light is perfect!

Thank you all, this a major boost for my confidence

Only the first shot and the last was shot at night the others where shot at sunset so we had some light there.
The sunset does make for some special lighting though, a trip to 24h Le Mans is now on the list to do.

I've more shots like these will upload them tomorrow when I'm home

Updated the sunset photos, a bit sharper and added more contrast, hopefully they "wow" a bit more now.

I've tried some things with the landscape photo but, that didn't work out since there is nothing to see besides the track.

And here is a new one, that I first didn't decide to upload.
