    I love the angles in #'s 3 and 8. A very different perspective than the usual. TBH if I shot bikes that well I would be amazed with myself. Nice work and a great series.

    Re: British Superbikes Oulton Park

    Why are you disappointed? I think the second one, with the bike leaned over and on the power, is pretty sweet. It could be a bit tighter. But I know how that is when you're shooting roadracing. You can't always get them as tight as you want.

    The one thing I notice is that they're all a bit dark. I realize that the light was a bit contrasty. But careful processing would allow you to open up the shadows a bit without ruining them. What kind of processing have you done?

    Thanks Jaedon

    Thanks John. The main reason i wasnt happy was the amount i deleted. I am now using a 100 - 300mm f4 lens and i think i was just expecting to much.

    With regards the processing i shoot in raw and play about with the sliders until it looks ok to me. I had a play with some of the others i took applying more fill light, contrast and clarity and i think they look a bit better. I agree some of these do look a bit dark

    Thanks again

    If you haven't calibrated your monitor then what looks OK on your monitor may not be so good by the time the rest of the world sees it.
