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 :

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

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

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/ (external link)

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
