Here's a few from me. Took just over 700 pics but i think i've met the limitations of my cheap sigma 70-210 lens. On most pics part of the bike was in focus but not the rest. It seems a bit too soft around the edges of the photo. So unfortunately a couple of hundred shots worth keeping!

I also had problems with the light, normally its too dark for me, but this time i was confronted with it being too light! Not something i've come across before but i think i got around it ok.

I like the sidecar pic. not something i've seen at any trackdays at snetterton. Sunlight can be a pain. It really can limit you where you shoot. At least at snetterton it does.

Trackdays are a great idea for photographers wanting to hone their skills. No entrance charge, no spectators to get in the way :)

Well, here in "Circuit de Catalunya" (Montmeló), you have to pay 7€ if you want to go to a trackday as a spectator. :rolleyes:

Nice pictures! My fav is the sidecar one.

A decent set of panning shots. I think I like the sidecar one best aswell, it produces the most feeling of action. Good work. :)

Agree with sidecar shot,though a tighter crop may help for me.

Crow, you did a good job with the panning, Hall Bends/Mountain can be a problem earlier in the year, looking south into the light the media photographers have got it made at Cadwell, we work hard to get our images. I love the sidecars, I am big fan of Tim Reeves. I only live local to Cadwell I visit there often but I missed the 3rd of March. I have a selection of motorsport shots on my site if you would like to check them out. Looking forwards to the new season I hope to visit on Friday April 11th that will be a free practice day...leading up to Sat/Sunday Thundersport GB race meeting... fine weather permitting.
Your doing a good job, keep it up.
