Shots from the Grand Prix Edmonton 2007

[Jonathanp]

I do a ton of shooting and I never post photos. So here is my first [i think] ever post of photos and just photos. You can add me at flickr if you want Flickr: Photos from JonathanPuckrin I would be interested in checking out all your flickr pages. Lots of photos these are just 13 I selected quick.

All shot with Olympus E-510/500 or the old E-1

90-250 / 14-54 / 150 / or the a combo with the 1.4

I don't like all the shots, but the shots that I like, I like quite a bit. I like how you captured metallic colors. I love that.

When was this? (yea, too lazy to look up the dates )

I should be more selective with the selects = ], but need something else to talk about other then the E-3. What did you not dig so much and why? [I hate to focus on the negative, but color me curious.]

The negatives? On the shots that are, composition, tilt/crookedness, some of the cropping. The girl posing with the driver (with the 'Tide') symbol- it's tilted, and her foot is a tiny bit chopped off, for example. The guy in the motorcycle jump looks like a great shot- but it's off-frame / chopped... stuff like that. The guy in the interview/microphone- composition again- it's kinda boring (too centered?)

Shots I liked- the tires. It's crooked but I think it's used to effect, I like the light. The last shot- I like the colors, the metalic of it, the details on that visor and bokeh.
Shot #4- the red/blue/white car, tilted counter clockwise- most of the lines/shape intersect creating good composition at the angles/ways they do.

Thanks R,
And that folks is why I love photography. Everyone likes something different. I love the tide car shot. In fact might be one of my faves. Good light balance between subject and background. The tilt allows for more sky in the shot rather then the pavement. Don't get me wrong I totally appreciate the comments and agree with all of them, but the fact you can give two people the same gear and get different results every-time is what keeps me in photography.

Thanks for the comments R

Oh, no worries. I expect good honest critique of all the shots I post. My number one rule is "if someone doesn't want honest critique, they better not ask for it then"

Thanks for posting your shots.

Great series Jonathan. I liked them all - particularly the babe shots . The colours are rich and there's lots of detail. Classic Oly images really - not that the photographer doesn't count of course. You have a great eye for framing. What lens/body was used for each? (I'm still looking for an exif plugin for Safari 3 on OSX 10.5).
