Went to Bedford on monday and pressed the button around 900 times, and c+c would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this and this was the first time out with the 55-200. My flickr will be updated quite often so please feel free to add me and comment it would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is my favorite from the bunch:



You need to have a longer shutter speed on your pans to get more motion into the shots though, start around 1/125 and get longer as you get used to panning

Hey richy

Im going to bedford on Friday for the Evo track night to photograph my cousin in his car.

Whats it like there are you able to stand around the track or just in certain places?

And tips would be helpful.

Cheers

Shame the weathers not going to be so nice for me on friday.

Its not too bad, you can get close to a few corners and the marshals are a good lot, as long as your sensible you can stand out of the way at turn one and the turn opposite that which are both tight, low speed bends or the final turn is good for some high speed shots, although the marshals booth can get in the way.

I may pop down to this as bedford isnt far from me, depends if im working all weekend. thanks for the add

I see your in Leicester would be good to catch up with a few more Leicester pistonhead snappers..

If you do make it i'll be the guy with a Yellow Lowepro bag looking quite wet.

sounds good, I'm just starting out taking my photography more seriously and am really enjoying it tbh. Everychance i get now i'm out and about. It also helps that I got a job covering football tournaments a week after getting my DSLR and sending some shots to someone advertising.

New pics just added too.

Thanks for looking
