Hi surprised the bike guys haven’t commented on these.
i know nothing about this type of photography but to me they look spot on great sharpness nicely panned and show the action well.
Really like the last one, had you a press pass or a really big lens.
What was your set up.Soda
Nice shooting. I can confirm that you did well as the Light was bad and man was it cold.
Donington is a great plase to take pictures without a press pass.Hey Guys
Thanks for the replys and comments, i did have a press pass it was my first big event with a press pass too :). I was using a 7d with a 100=400 mm lens. It was tricky getting a good setting as the light wasnt great alright and as you said it was sooooo cold, i went on saturday in a t-shirt and had to buy a jacket as my arms were blue haha. Great day though Donny is a great track to shoot at i will definately be going back thats for sure
Fantastic shots,
I mean this in the purely in the photo oppertunity point of view but its a pity Marco Jerman didn’t highside, that would have made an incredible photo. I highsided once at Dunlop at mondello, I was gutted that the photographer I’d paid to take some shots didn’t catch it. LOL.Ondrej Jezek is so far over he could have put his elbow down, that was a great shot, you can really see him stretching to make the corner,staring at his exit point, you don’t need to see his face to picture the concentration.
You should send a couple of these into MCN, I bet they’d print them. Who gave you the press pass? That must have been great, were you allowed down to the pits too.
thanks for sharing.
Al.Hi AL
Thanks a mil for the reply and comments. I got the press pass myself through my company and from work i had published before. I did also get access to the pits and garages which i could just walk in and out of which was great and the cherry ontop was i managed to get onto the grid for the second race :). It was very surreal walking down the grid with all the riders you can feel the intensitity, ill put up a few shots of the pits and the grid too
Cheers
JohnDefinately post more, I’d love to see them. Have you uploaded them to flickr or anywhere I can look at the rest?
Thanks
AlwynNice shots particularly the get off.
When you see the professional togs zipping around on mopeds with 2 bit’s of kit around their shoulders with lens 2′ long you feel a little inadequate with a humble 55-200 stock lens.

This was the best of my bunch, it was a pity Laverty had such a bad weekend.
