Excellent work all round! Great colour and good sharp images. I particularly like the first one, with him looking at the monitor for lap times! The colour in the second is fantastic – have you boosted the saturation in it?
Fantastic motorsport shots. So sharp and wonderful colours. Your composition is spot on too. How about posting some details of your setup for all these shots? I’m sure plenty of people would be most interested in reading some of your methodology.

Yes but only by approx 7 – 10% in photoshop, getting the shot as close to perfect as possible in camera means that you have only minor tweaks to perform in photoshop.

All the above were shot with a Nikon D200 and Nikon 300mm f4 lense.
I generally shoot in manual exposure mode with spot metering, or if the light is not consistent then i’ll shoot in apperture priority.
The only time i use shutter priority is for panning shots (side ons) where I want full control over the shutter speed.
Great technique. I totally agree with like your thoughts below on getting it right with the camera.
Tip on posting. Its usually better to only post 2-3 images in the same post in terms of getting critique.
ie, more posts = more critique on individual images :)
