Thanks Paul, no cherry picker, though I've got a hop up if I can be bothered to carry it about :D Don't tell Mark though, because he takes the piss out of it :lol:

I'm really pleased with the shots. The "B" is looking back at Paddock from the bottom of the dip. It's my favorite shot from the day and my sort of bag, more arty than techie. A bit tricky with all the track side furniture but do-able. Found the spot/angle by chance when taking a few shots at the DTM a few years ago.

Photographing as Joe Public does present more challenges at circuits, than having a media pass, though that's part of the fun for me.

Well played Mike, I do like most of them to be honest, its a bit of an art this photography lark all be it I don't get out enough to have a play. The BW are very sharp and I do like a decent BW photo.
Keep it up Mike.

Like them Mike. Here’s a pic I manipulated from the Spa Classic last year.

I’m after a specific lens Colin, the only ones MPB have are decidedly secondhand, in so called good condition, (heavy use and marked body) @£1100. I can probably get a new one for around £1600 if I shop around or buy an eu version. Just gotta save some pennies.
