I've not long returned from a day out shooting the world superbike riders at Silverstone.
The kit I decided on dragging around with me was a 300mm 2.8, 1.4x converter, 2x converter, 70-200mm, 135mm 2.0 (didn't use), 17-40mm (also didn't use), 1DIII and a 5D II.
The following three images were all shot from the inside of Brooklands corner.

Leon Haslam |
|
Ayrton Badovini |

Leon Camier |
Some of the results using the 5D weren't so useable as it showed up the fact I was shooting from behind a fence!
While shooting from this location, I got talking to a guy about this and that who has a stand at these events. I thought I'd give his site a plug as he is such a nice guy. Anyone that wants to buy any great signed images of riders in action can get them from Keith Martin who can be found here:
www.keithmartinphotography.co.uk what you can't find on the site I'm sure he can get for you.
The winner of the race on Sunday was Carlos Checa.
