M3 - it's really quick, I know the garage on the side of it MBA in Pumpherston, I know the owner Paul, sure it's his car? and not just sponsoring it?

It's Paul's car.

Purple Corrado, was mostly fixing issues.

You did well to get a shot of the Esprit, it's wheel bolts sheered in it's first few laps.

Took the Esprit shots on the Saturday. I did wonder why I never saw it on track on the Sunday.

Hehe, cheers, good shots!

My throttle cable snapped about 30 secs after that 1st shot!

EDIT: meant to say, if you're keen to come along and do more shots let me know. We always have some spare tickets kicking about and the guys in Sports and Saloons would be happy to help in return for some shots of their cars. Drop me an email via trust if you need tickets for the June race.

Thank you - that's very kind of you.

I know you're not necessarily after feedback but.. keep practising your panning, some of the shots seem too dark and standard 3/4 views of cars are pretty boring (and you'll get bored of taking them after a while). Some of the vignetting is distracting too. With panning I find that if you work down from 1/320 until your hit rate drops off you'll get a balance of getting sharp shots and decent background blur.

Problem with motorsport photography is you need a camera that has fast and accurate AF. Doing it with anything other than a DSLR is a real challenge.

Some of mine from Donington (I also agree with Housey, it was hardly a 'festival') and a couple of other events. I still have a long way to go.
