Hey /p/ what do you guys think of this picture i took yesterday at Oulton Park? Shot with my new Lumix DMC FZ-45

Also, does anyone have any tips on how to get this camera to work at its maximum potential? I'm new to Photography and its my first camera.

I hate to say it, but you need a different camera. I had a Lumix FZ-30, and it was absolutely horrible when I first started out and tried to use it to shoot cars going down a drag strip. If you want to shoot (motor)sports, at least get a simple DSLR.

I wanted a DSLR, its what i asked for as a gift, and i got this camera. It's good for video and pictures, but its not the best. Could you recommend a DSLR that can shoot HD video AND take a good picture?

Any recent entry-level DSLR, really.

For this kind of shot you need to get as much shutter speed as possible. That means increase ISO and aperature until it affects the quality of the image. (Too much ISO creats noise and poor color. Big aperature can give you a shallow depth of field and make focusing more troublesome.)

Als, if your camera supports continous shooting, that might be worth a try.

Proud of the fact you achieved nice panning, good shot.
Flaws:
_quite blown highights, a little less exposure woud have been better, an overcast weather would have be ideal;
_the worst thing is the lack of details... the sensor has reached its limits and noise reduction overkilled everything.

Tip? Shoot RAW, play with image conversion on your PC fine tuning every parameter.

True, but probably not for his camera. Doubt that he can use the ISO needed to get the desired sutter speed

damn, if it wasnt for those blown out highlights this would have been a nice shot. like someone else said, shoot in raw and then tweak it. also, watch your histogram man.
