Great shots. I especially like the angle at which you've taken #1, although I think I would have been tempted to darken and blur the shot above the white wall, and clone out the cigarette butt under the rider's knee.

Excellent shots Nick :D

[Kevbuts]

Fantastic shots Nick. They're a real pleasure to see, as are the others on your website :D

[hypers2k]

you have just convinced me i need the 300mm f2.8 :)

[KenTT]

Excellently shot series. How much did you crop the closeup of Craig Jones?

The 300, f2.8 IS is the next lens on my shopping list :).

Thanks Ken, as you see is quite a big crop out of original below, the quality has held up well. The 300mm has been amazing, best lens I have ever owned. Better than the Nikon version especially with TC's which I had before switching to Canon:)

Superb photo's mate, really nice and sharp, the one that you cropped is an amazing shot, love the bokeh.

[canonrebel]

Some stunning shots on display... well done

[KenTT]

Thanks for the crop info Nick. I shoot a bit of motor sport and also want to do some air shows, I've used my trusty 100-400L at the moment and although I'm quite pleased with the results, the 300L 2.8, plus the x1.4 & x2.0 converter really is what I'm after.

You've helped me make my mind up :-)

Hi Nick, wonderful quality images...well done.

Roy.

[danny87]

Were you shooting as a spectator, if so where abouts from, any tips about Donington. Thanks.

[ninjaboy]

hi danny i wentto donni took me camara as was on scouting mission as going back for gp. I was a spectator so fences and distance from track are an issue .
I found foggy esses, in field of red gate, also in field at bottom of craner curves were best spots as n fencing in the way. You will need at least a 300mm lens .
I was using a 28-135 and just could not get close enough but i was happy that i was able to practice panning shots .
Cheers shane

The 300 2.8 is an awesome lens and works excellently with a 1.4 or 2 x converter on :lol: Get one bought, life is too short.
