Hi again,

The BTCC carnival rolled into town again this weekend, I have been practising motorsport photography recently and tried again Friday and today to get a few shots. I'm happy with the results, I hope I'm improving as I have volunteered to photograph a BMW and Porsche car track day next weekend :eek:

Anyway please check out the shots and let me know what you think.

Not sure if the EXIF is still there but all taken with my 350d and 17-85is and 70-300is.

C&C welcomed, I hope there was something there for non motorsport fans too, Let me know what you think,

Sorry to anyone on a slow connection, although you have probably hit "Back" after the first five photos

Numbers 1, 8 and 11 are as good as you'll find

I like them, all have good composition. Good luck with BMW and Porsche car track day, hope you have fun!!

If you're going to be doing track day photography then you need a Polariser Filter. This will reduce the reflection on the windscreen, drivers prefer to see themselves behind the wheel than a nasty reflection.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

SDK^ Thanks for the heads up, I'll pick up a 58mm polariser for my telephoto before saturday, I have been meaning to do this for a while anyway but just kept putting it off.

No wonder that young guy had a smile on his face.MMMMMMMMMM M3CSL.

All very good shots. Personally, I particularly like number 2 of the close-up Porsches!
