I dont know how to say this but been a bit dispirited about posting lately,but thought would risk a few .
Anyway,I think they are ok,and enjoyed taking them.
Last weekends Peter Collins memorial meet,including two runoffs for major hillclimb champs at glorious and very steep Shelsey Walsh,a great meeting,with loads of folks there ,including a shedload of photographers.

First up,a glorious ,priceless Ferrari .

The ever happy Derek Young trying hard in mint Pilbeam at bottom S.

Nearly 150mph over the narrow ,bumpy finish ,then braking very hard to stop,Paul Ransom .

Into the sun at Top S,

Finally,young charger,Scott Moran,winner of the runoffs,and Championship leader trying hard as ever,and perfect line out of top S,running up to the finish.

Pons nice set. I really like the third. I thnk it would have a little more impact if you cropped it a bit. Keep the ration and crop from the bottom left until the edge of the road was in the top left corner.

I meant ratio - fat fingers I guess.
I am taking it that "feel free to show me" means that I can edit it. If not let me know and I will take it down.

Ah I see what you mean,Jamie,thanks for doing that .

Swiss Toni,
Although my photography is coming on I still get frustrated at my ineptitude.
Folk on here have been brilliant when I have contacted them for help,a major thank you to Simon Harrison who's images blow me away,and others as well we know,so one keeps trying.

You should have been with me at Cadwell yesterday, I nearly jacked it all in and took holy orders! :-D

Get yourself to a motocross some time, that'll light your fire again I guarantee it.

Some very nice shots in there pons. Like the "action" of the last one, but also like #2 and #7 a lot. You can see the crowds in the background, looks pretty busy. Been meaning to get to a hillclimb, Gurtson most likely but still hasn't happened yet - seems they're quite popular then?

I thank you kindly for the positive comments,and am genuinally pleased to draw such comments from such as esteemed photographers as we have here.
Azza,
Good day out ,very freindly with great access,sure beats big fences at Silverstone and closed pit areas to general public.
Simon,
Just about to check your Harewood shots out! I'll get my coat.
