A few experiments, easy to end up with lots of very similar photos:

As always, any comments appreciated. I saw someone else posting photos taken at an angle and I think it works OK, like everything else I guess it's personal taste and can be overdone.

I'm at Oulton Park for the Gold Cup this weekend, so I'll be practising my panning technique. Judging by todays results, I will need all the practice I can get.

Thanks guys. The chain drive is quite interesting, but seems to be more on the German aero-engined cars - this and the more famous Brutus have chains like this, but the two Chris Williams cars seemed not to. The pan worked reasonably well, I'm always disappointed I can't get more of the car sharp - the mono thing was a play to make it a bit more interesting.

I have to try to remember on here to pay as much attention to the photo itself as the subject matter.

I must admit to being a bit photo'd-out (if you see what I mean) by Sunday, having been at the venue for the three days I actually felt that the rainy shots were problably more interesting.

Heavy cars can fly too - on the next lap after this the Audi quattro sport had all lamps blazing and looked much better, unfortunately I didn't catch it quite at the right time.

I noticed this weird thing during a lull in the proceedings, seems to be two of whatever this is linked together flitting from plant to plant.

Yes, this would have been better with a longer exposure to give a bit of motion, but just happened to get both the pleasure trips choppers in one.

Chris Williams' Napier Bentley wowed as always

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight put on a great display, with the Lancaster circling the surrounding countryside while the Spitfire and Hurricane performed for the crowed, then returned to formation and back to base.

These Germans think of everything - handy glove storage on the Zeppelin-engined Maybach from the Sinnsheim Museum.

Yes, I think that's about the only place I saw where press access would have been a disadvantage.

Very nice shots, I think that Atom was pretty much the best for getting airborne there. You did well to lose the blue rope in that scrambler shot - I've got a virtually identical one in my Saturday thread but with rope in the foreground.

Much better weather today, sometimes cloudy, the odd shower, but some sun and blue sky. A bit more going on in the air as well, as it's a proper day rather than the Friday preview. I'm not sure about this first one, I wasn't really prepared and can't decide whether it's just a bit too blurred to be any use.

Thanks all for the comments. After a lovely day my feet are finally dry and will post today's in a minute.

A few shots from today. Weather as you can see was not marvellous, so not terribly encouraging for taking photos, also the timed runs don't start until tomorrow.

Yes, No 8 is lovely though I speak from a position of bias of course.

I may be in the background of five as I was standing outside the "executive suites" (which now look a bit more like an iffy council estate) for much of the time as our club stand was just near there.
