Motorsport Exhibition in the Streets of Rotterdam

I'll start with the main thing i went there to see!! The Formula 1.

Nico Rosberg's Williams F1:

Then the Midlands F1 team came out to play:

I'd just like to say that i've never heard anything so loud in my entire life. You can see from the shots how close i was to them, and they were going at speeds of excess of 150mph down the straight where i took the pictures. It literally rattled my eardrums!!

The F1 safety car also makes a bit of a roar, that came out and had a play too:

Next up was the A1 cars, going nice and fast again but not as loud as the F1's

Jos Verstappen showing off his skills in the wet weather:

Not too sure who this dude is, it had rabbani on his helmet though:

As well as the big monsters that were there, there were also some of these little fellas giving the course a shot too:

Comments are more than welcomed, it was a really good day!! First time i've done any motorsport photography too!

Those pictures are fantastic, really clear and the shutter time seems perfect so they actually look like they're moving.

Great

I love the Williams one.

im just a beginner at photography, so im not being nasty when i say this but .

are any of those photos altered in Photoshop or whatever

because i just cant get my photos that sharp, even in perfect dayling with the light source behind me.

is this because im only using a pocket camera, or have you altered the pics at all ?

There is some USM applied, but the fact that they're so sharp i think is down to the 70-200 L and the quick focussing of the 20D
