Fantastic photos. I particularly love the RAC rally shot, seeing the escort squat down on the rears and the shear feeling of movement.
Thanks Bryan, It's tough trying to nail the slow pans on a rally, due to the lack of straight lines and smooth surfaces. Thank you for taking the time to have a look through the thread!
Some realy nice shots Matty mate, a good year i think, REALLY looking forward to next year, think its time we brought our coffee and bacon sarnies a bit further affield, explore stages new i think.
thanx for the company and the laughs, and a huge thank you for all your help this year, even i can see improvment ! heres to next year mate,
Dave
Cheers Dave, its been a good year, made better by the laughs and much needed coffees all over the North! You've made some big steps too this year mate, and it is ALWAYS a pleasure telling you where you've gone wrong haha!
Load of tummy mud (wont let me say xsxhxixt), try harder next year..........OK maybe one or two decent ones............alright some fantastic photos, I've learned a lot from you this year and really look forward to learning more next year, thanks for your tips, suggestions & friendship this year, here's to an even better one next year, and I'm sure me awld muker SWB Landy will say something similar (oops he already has)
Cheers Matty,
Here's to 2014
Nice one Big G! Apart from the last outing, it's all been pretty good going! Doesn't mean i'll be taking out a Triumph World subscription though! Definitely up for taking it up a level next year, and that goes for the photography AND the green laning!
These are wonderful Matty. I've only done a couple of local karting sessions this year for the first time and loved it so hope to plan some weekends next year around Silverstone.
Thank you Di. Certainly enjoyed the year, Karting is always pretty tricky, especially if you are starting out. I'd certainly advise going to Silverstone and checking out some other machinery, they have some superb events there, even if it isn't rated that highly for spectator photography!
All really good, i particularly like number 2, then the red focus and the bmw, great action shots.
I fear i would be awful but i'm pretty local to you lot so wouldnt mind tagging along one day next year to have a bash (if theres room lol)
Nick
Cheers Nick. I'd certainly be happy to swap some of my motorsport tips for your landscape tips mate! if you fancy heading out, let me know and I'll give you a nod when there is something worthwhile up in the North East!
Blimey, I'd not noticed as it went along, but looking back you've really burnt some miles.
There's no substitute for time spent out there taking pictures and you've certainly made the effort - and its paid off big time.
You'll probably find that the next few years you'll see it trail off though, as you start to be a bit picky about what you do - either the ones you enjoy the most or the ones that are paying
Cheers Buddy! I've certainly gone full chat at it this year, with the rallies up north, half the fun is the adventure of getting there, it does take you to some amazing locations. Appreciate your kind words. I'll be making a concerted effort to improve next year, though I feel I am reaching the limitations of my kit somewhat, but certainly need to find some more paying jobs in order to fund an upgrade from the 5D Classic! Enjoying filling the 2014 calendar with ideas already though! Bring it on!
fantastic set. very impressive. Impossible to pick a winner out of that lot. A year you can be proud of!
Thanks Jonty. Appreciate the comment! I'll be trying to add some MotoX to the agenda next year, so no doubt I will be looking through your lots threads to pick up some inspiration!
Wow. Is it already that time of year again!
Some absolute corkers there. Loving the ones from Trackrod, Croft and Sherwood. But they're all fantastic. Not a bad year at all!
Not a bad year, certainly room for improvement, but its all fun to be had! Certainly looked enviously at your slow shutter stuff this year which is something I am trying to work on! Thanks buddy!
Superb set of shots mate
Cheers Harry, May bump into you at the Dukeries next year! Thanks a lot mate!
Excellent set, hope you had fun getting to all these events.
Thank you, it been, in equal parts, tiring, expensive, frustrating and amazing touring around to all the events, but worthwhile all the way along. Plus it keeps me off the street!
I am in absolute awe of your photo's matty. Absolutely stunning!
Very kind of you David! I'll be looking to better them in every way possible next year! Keep an eye on them ditches! Cheers buddy
