Nice set. Road and Sound for me please.

Can I make a suggestion for the first one, Wreck. The wreck itself and the rocks make for a powerful image, but I think the sky is not doing the image any favours. You have accurately exposed the subject and foreground but that has meant the sky is uniformly bright. A ND Grad may have helped here but failing that you could take a few pictures and underexpose the sky, then do a HDR merge to bring out more detail.

Of course if there is no detail to bring out you will struggle anyway. Perhaps consider a sky replacement ? I had a quick play and came up with some interesting alternatives. Let me know if you would like to see them.

Warm colours of Autumn.

The rally pictures are superb....as are the Salen wrecks.

Love the last one for a bit of humour.

That last one is beautiful in mono.

The lighting was very challenging on this shot. In an ideal world I would set up a tripod, taken 5 shots and done a HDR merge, but this was not possible here.

The heavy editing I did looks better in b+w than in colour.

First time I had ever seen one of these beauties "in the metal"

Lovely photos.
For the badge one, it's not a straight on shot, any reason why not? I'd also have considered not centering the logo, have it slightly left. That's not a criticism, just a thought.

Oops...I had originally made this one as a square crop, and in my haste during a re-edit left it as oblong. I have corrected this on my Flickr album.

To be honest I did not deliberately shoot it off centre, it just ended up that way

This is the car it is from, a 1970's Espada.

I always seem get someone walking in to shot with a Tesco bag, or an overflowing litter bin in the background!

That is where Photoshop comes in handy !

My wife and I went to Brooklands many moons ago, great memories. I like these images, they show the cars as works of great engineering skill / art. Sculptures if you like.

Thanks for posting.

I hope you get the opportunity to go again. In the last 5 years they have made a lot of improvements. The big leaky hangar no longer has holes in the roof and has been moved away from the finishing straight. It has a fresh coat of paint and does not look its age (80 years).
