Sorry Steve,these do nothing for me ,some ridiculous angles,cars chopped off ,compositions pretty bad .

The only one I quite like is the Ferrari in 3 ,but that could do with more space .

On the plus side exposures and colours and action look very good.

I would have to agree with chrispons a little bit in terms of the framing. You clearly have some panning skills I just think you need to work on framing your images in a better way. Unfortunately Silverstone isn't the best place for this.

For me number 1 looks the best in terms of framing, trying to get some of the surroundings into view to really show that sense of speed and location.

If you can get yourself to Brands Hatch next month for the DTM then you should get on better there with the location. Keep pushing!

Thanks for the feedback guys i was shooting through the fence for these so it did limit what shots i could get. If im honest im not entirely happy with what i got but you learn from your mistakes.

Thanks again

Absolutely, keep learning and getting better. As I said Silverstone isn't the best place and the fences are everywhere.

I agree with Chris, the plus side these are not as tilted as your Donny pictures but the tilts really don't work as its making the car looking like its going up or down a steep hill.

Instead of tilting try and think about compositions, I will link you to someone else's post who was shooting from general admission to give you an idea of what you can acheive at Silverstone
