Casnell - don't think you can't do what John is doing! He's a great example of how someone with a bit of talent and a lot of drive can get where he's wanting to go in photography.

It has been a pleasure to see how John has progressed in his skill as a motorsports photographer in the nearly 2 years that he's been on this forum. The standard he's putting out now is testament to his dedication and ability to learn.

John - your progress has been, and continues to be, an inspiration - keep up the great work mate :)

John,

You are one fortunate dude, but you deserve the opportunities you get. See if you can snap one of Mighty Mick Doohan riding a lap some time.
Great shots as always.

Ozi.

John,

They are great pics, but thats the standrd you always seem to set.

They seem sharper than the first lot you posted. Were you using a TC before. These are real nice, great colour, contrast and saturation.

Nice mate. Hope you manage to unload a few for some pesos.

Fund the habit, fuel the lust!
