Hi All,

2013 marked a gear upgrade for me, going full frame brought some new challenges on top of the usual acclimatisation. I'm generally pretty happy with my year on year improvement - hopefully some of you will agree :)

Again a massive shout to the community, particularly in the motorsport section - a great bunch of people with really generous attitudes when it comes to helping noobs like me :) There's truly great talent in these rooms, with Toms recent achievement being the latest in a long line of confirmations, Congratulations again. Thanks to everyone who's ever taken time to help me or give me some feedback I really appreciate it.

While I cant really hope to match the exacting standards on show, I will just aim to improve my own abilities :)

Here goes... all from the speccy areas apart from #2 (lucky pit shot)

Hope you've enjoyed it. Now is the time to think about the good and the bad to make plans for 2014 8)

Nice shoots Jonathan, like Timo Glock photo and the Young drivers tests especially Kvyat and Vettel shoots.

Thanks very much, your shots are always a good source of inspiration to me, along with Andy's, Gary's and quite a few others. It means a lot that you guys take the time to feedback on others work, so cheers again hopefully see some of you around in 2014
 
Really nice selection. I especially like #5 with the heat haze and #13 for the composition. #1 is also pretty crazy too. I like that! :D

Really liked your selection from the YDT as well. Love the Kvyat shots.

Thanks again Graham, I'd like to try the bikes a few more times this year - a completely different approach than for cars :)

Great series, especially considering they were shot from the spectator area. My fave is #13

Thanks very much Richard, I (like the majority) always wanted to be the other side of the fence but I'm starting to realize that it involves more stress and creative restriction than I'm willing to accept :) so if I can get to the stage where people like my images and occasionally mistake them for being professional, I'll enjoy playing the "yea and I was behind the fence" card XD
