Camera Labs

I am new to photography but have been into bike racing for years and a few weekends ago i decided to go to a local road race and bring my dads panasonic compact lumix camera along. These are some of the best shots i took on the day (313 in total i got a little carried away and filled the memory card quickly). How good or bad are these and can you offer me any advice on how i can improve them? One thing i did find hard was shooting fast moving bikes without a view finder

























This last one i took with my cousin's EOS 40d and its defintely my faverout

Wow, These are some great pics! I would never have guessed that you're new at this. I think you need a DSLR. Some of the images taken with the lumix look like they are less sharp and have less contrast.



that one is my favorite because of the composition, but i think you did a good job composing all of your pictures.

And I know what you mean about takin 313 pictures. I ride motocross bikes and its tuff you can either ride or shoot but you can't do both to your best ability the same day. you gotta choose one and focus on it because if you do both your ridding and your pictures will suck.
