Nice varied set Simon, 3rd and last are my picks with the last one edging it. I like the heat haze and front wheel just off the ground. I must go to a bike meet one day (seeing the Moto GP race highlights the other day has certainly increased my interest )

Nigel's flash guide may help, not looked at it yet.

Great set. Like the Porsche with brake disks glowing (panning at that shutter speed at 300mm is beyond my skills) you had some good access there. I was restricted to shooting from silverstone six and luffield grandstands. I'd love a few tips for good spots for next year

I put mine on FB if you fancy a look
Thanks Peter, just realised I'm already following you on facebook, not realised you and Puggy were one and the same ! - some nice shots on facebook, I missed the pitwalk so didn't get any close ups of the drivers.

I had the standard general admission with only additional access being when a couple of the teams let me in to take a picture of the cars in the garage when having a walk round the paddock. All action shots were taken from Copse (looking down start/finish), Woodcote (looking at Brooklands and up Wellington Straight) and Luffield (similar to you).

The shots looking up the start/finish straight and Wellington Straight have all been cropped and taken with the 300 + 1.4 TC, something a bit longer may have been better. I have to confess finding it easier (and prefer) to take pictures at Oulton Park and Donington where there's areas without crash fencing and nicer backdrops.

Enjoyed these(and the other set), thanks for posting.

The last 2 are my personal favourites, it made me think how many pictures I take in digital and subsequently delete to get my motorsport shots.

Great set... The final "Trials" shot is a super action shot, but also a great encapsulation of an era...
Best

Another fine set from this event (just seen David's)

The B&W one does have something about it - interested in what it looked like in colour !
