Your best motorsport photo of 2008 *Closed*

[Cadwell]

With the season (and the year) rapidly drawing to a close, now is the time to blow your own trumpet and show everyone the motorsport shot you are most proud of from 2008.

Maximum 1 shot per person, please. I'll delete all bar the first if you post more.

[JMAST]

Here is my entry.

[Simon Harrison]

Quite an easy choice this for me this year, and the picture was taken on the second last event I will cover. It's the only picture that I've wanted to get framed for the wall (I'm picking it up from the framers later this week :D).

http://www.srh-motorsport-photography.com/Galleries/forum/best08.jpg

I'd waited 3 years to take this picture - it took that long for the organisers of the rally to finally run the stage in this particular direction. It's not the most spectacular shot we'll see posted in this thread I'm sure, but the background gives so much context to the image, the car itself has a lot of history and it is being driven by two huge names in British rallying (Mark Higgins and Nicky Grist)

Cheers,

Simon.

Here is mine, it is also my first post. I have been lurking for a while. I've been getting back into photography after a long break.

Simply gorgeous, Simon. I can see why you'd want that one framed.

Since I've been using Canon gear for only a few months (had Oly before), I'll post my favourite Canon pic.

[Bosscat]

This is a tough one for me to pick, as I had a few favourites from Snowcross, ATV MX, Sportscars and from Sprint Cars. I had to pull out my receding hair, scratch the whiskers off my chin, and make a sandwich before I decided to go with the following. Probably because it was 40 below zero at the time, it was in the backyard of the Ski-Doo factory for all intents and purposes, and even my sister likes it.

Thanks Glenn. I couldn't believe my luck when the sun came up to reveal snow on the mountain tops and mist in the valley below. The boss might even allow me to hang it in the study at home :lol:

I really like this one. Great color against the snow.

[salexande867]

This is not my best shot, but it is my favorite from this year (so far). I really like to see girls getting involved in the sport and this girl had a great look with the black bike and pink gear (not to mention she was out there to win).

Some great shots allready posted...

Here is my choice...WSB @ Donnington, had a frustrating year as only got to go to 4 events and found the going tough. Not the greatest shot but was really glad to get the sparks in the shot ;) Role on next year...

[thumper 8]

Not my best shot but I still like this one - probably because of the race that lead up to this.

Late in a superbike race, bike #1 on his way to win the race as the closest pursuer (and fierce rival) slides off in the background after an amazing race-long battle with both riders dicing for, and swapping the lead.

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Taking some time over Christmas to play catch up. While sorting through my pics from 2008 I thought I would add one of mine to this thread.

This was taken at the 2008 Silverstone Classic event. 'Jaguar' was one of the themes of this years event and during the lunch break there was the chance to see some of the most famous Jaguars out on track.

This shot is perhaps my favourite shot of 2008, not because its anything special technically. Its just a shot taken from the bunker just before 'Bridge' at Silverstone.

What makes it special in my opinion is the fact that there is a Le Mans winning 1988 Jaguar XJR9 being followed by a one off and probably priceless Jaguar XJ13, followed by a rare and valuable C Type being followed by an equally rare D Type.

I think I found heaven that day and it looks like a great place.

Certainaly not my most interesting shot but this was a real pig to nail. At this point on this circuit car was at over 170mph and shot handheld at 300mm on 1.6 cropped sensor giving 480mm at 1/320th to try and get as much sharp as possible while still conveying the speed. And didnot realize at the time about the sparks from bottoming out!

Here's one of mine: Guy Martin IOM TT 2008

So many good shots here

I did'nt get to many motor sport events this year, but i got to my first rally event, rallye of deustchland. And my favourite from this event is of P.Solberg cornering it widely in the wine fields, being less then a meter from him passing by at 100-120km's n hr was such a rush.
I think it is going to make a good poster

Great Shot, love the low down angle.

I'm humbled by some of the incredible stuff I've seen in this thread.

If anything, it makes me determined to improve myself in the upcoming season.

Thanks everyone for the inspiration.

Now if Thawley would just post a few here, we'd all have something to drool over.

C'mon John.!!

Big Ant,

I can't believe you caught this at 98mm. That's close!

Great capture.

After some thought and processing I didn't like my original as much as this one (deleted original post).

This was from the SVTOA on-track event at Gingerman (Michigan). A few of my pictures from the event were published in an article in the December 2008 issue of Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords! Pretty geeked about that! LOL!

Here is my favorite from the article:
