Some nice images there. Last one especially (for me)
Go easy on the watermarks tho. One is plenty IMO.
A very large number of top professionals don't watermark at all. Sharing is promotion and nobody shares a watermarked image.

Hi thanks for the feedback..as for the watermarks..the reason I use then is to stop others from using the image..as an amateur photographer..the last thing I want is for someone to use my images for free, as this is taking away a possible sale from a Professional Motorsport photographer who has spent thousands of pounds on kit.
I think you will find in sports photography that if a professional is not using a watermark..he has been paid for the image..as they won't give them away for free.

Ah yes, that's a good point. I'm still not sure myself about leaving it off; I have one small WM, just to let people know where the image came from.

Some nice details there, Paul. I know it can be hard to get clean action shots from behind the debris fencing at Silverstone - other UK circuits are better in this respect - but at least the Classic allows decent access to cars and drivers.

I'm also interested to note your use of a Sigma 100-300mm f4, my lens of choice for pretty much everything nowadays: it means there were two Pentax-fit examples being used in the same place on the same weekend, which is probably some kind of record...

Thank you Simon..it was my first time at the classic..I spent most of my time around the paddock areas..as you say you can really get close to the cars and drivers. I find the 100-300mm f4 lens..to be very good.
