Hi All,

Some more WEC Silverstone images... Really enjoyable day on Sunday, 6 hours certainly gives you time to get to plenty of areas and try out a few ideas.
Tried something a bit different for some of these so any feedback appreciated.

Really like 1, 6 and 7.

Would really like 8 if you could see all (or more) of the wheels.

I like 3, 6 and 7, in focus car through blurred surroundings is cool, and 7 as per someone else who's posted a similar shot, yellow car against yellow background really works for me.

I like the idea behind 8, just a shame you aren’t able to see a little more of the car.
I do really like 7.

A nice varied set, especially well done at Silverstone. Like a few of the off track shots on your feed as well.

3 and 4 stand out for me as they’re a bit different to the usual Silverstone shots.

Just realised I got the same crash as #2 from the other side of the track

1, 4 5 and 7 are all excellent. Love the composition in 5 with the two spectators chatting in the background.

Interesting use of tilt in #1

Thank you, i know what you both mean about 8, i just liked the car in amongst the different lines of the armco barrier, advertising, grass, fence etc

Thanks Mark, glad you like the 'marmite shots' something i have been consciously making an effort to improve

Thank you, as mentioned a 6hr race gives you plenty of chance to try out some different ideas!

Cheers all, glad you like 7, it was a shot that looked good on the back of the camera but with a bit of tweaking in post seemed to get better... makes the funny looks i was getting panning from a mile back on the grass bank between Stowe & Vale worth it
