35 years of motorsport photography

After shooting motorsport events for 3 1/2 decades, using a quite big variety of cameras and lenses, I uploaded some on my flickr account :

And a couple of more recent ones

A wonderful assemblage of skillfully taken racing action photography. Your work is consistently excellent.

Are/were you a professional sports photographer ?

Also where were some of those sites ? I can see background...looks mostly like Europe.

Eventhough I have been doing this in a pro basis for 35 years, it has never been more then a serious hobby for me. In fact it is a combination of two passions : motorsports + action photography since I was 15-16
All sites are in Greece
Thanks for the comments

It's hard to tell what's behind the "BK BK BK BK BK BK BK BK".

It's hard to tell how many people nick pictures off web sites nowadays, as there are so many doing it!!!! I really don't blame him putting his mark on these photos........

Very cool photos. I really enjoyed looking at the photos from years ago, some of which are from before I was even born!

Thank you for understanding the reason for BK BK BK and of course for the comments.

#1 is such an iconic location; I'd pay anything to shoot a WRC event there! Thanks for sharing, would love to see a few more!

You are welcome !
Unfortunately WRC with the cloverleaf format, is not as it used to be ...
Meteora ( the rock formation with the monasteries on top in the back round ) is a fantastic place to visit especially in the spring time
You can check a few more on my flickr http://www.flickr.com/​photos/118295684@N04/

I feeel the same, believe me...
BUT unfortunately it is necessary, since not everyone is a true enthusiast with innocent intentions, as we all know. Countless hours of waiting and waiting, in the scorching heat, or in the cold when your fingers were unable to change a film, cannot be given away to anyone.
I hope that you will agree on that
Thanks for the comments

Jumping !
