Hi All,

I took some shots of my Brother-in-Law giving everyone a good whooping at Mariestad in Sweden.

Taken on 70-200 L at about f5.6 (I think!)

So, Critique me!!

Edit - Oops, sorry mods, I just read the sticky about motorsport having its own place now. Please move me!

Always good to see more speedway pics! I shoot a fair bit in the UK.

Nice shot... perhaps could have been improved had the bikes been slightly further to the right in the frame?

Who is the rider? Do they ride in the UK as well?

Absolutely agree, I will probably crop it before use, but yup, it would have been better that way.

The rider is Tomas Aronsson. He's not in the top league any more, so just rides in Sweden now, but has ridden in the UK in the past. He also used to mechanic for the mighty PK and Niklaus Klingberg. Such nice chaps!

Another couple from the same meeting:

Some more nice shots... and thanks for the info.

I usually shoot at Arena Essex... so get to see the majority of the Elite League riders throughout the season... I posted a couple of threads recently over in the Motorsport section if you're really bored:
