Nice pictures, liking the new BMW for this year.

Kyle 86 · May 6, 2013

Great shots. Ukaskew got some wonderful shots also, the WSR Ebay BMW looks amazing, that along with the Airwaves Racing focus are the best looking cars

Naith · May 6, 2013

Clarity in the shots is scary good...

The Fatty · May 6, 2013

some very good shots there

Luke. · May 6, 2013

Takes note..

Amazing shots mate.. You have skillz..

ukaskew · May 6, 2013

Excellent shots, if I was throwing some constructive crit out there I think the panning needs a bit of variation, I love breaking 'the rules' with a frame-exiting pan now and again, but it's usually the exception rather than the rule.

If you think Thruxton is tough for a media tog you should try being behind the fence (particularly on Sunday), crazy busy to the point of finding a spot and keeping it all day (and then a marshal or bib stands in your sightline

)

Flat Eric · May 6, 2013

Great pictures!
Did you get any of the Clio cup too?

Naith · May 6, 2013

I think a lot are the same due to the fact he was there working, specifically to take stock images for companies. He got loads of different stuff, he'll no doubt post them after work tonight.

Loads of the pics are in press and online, well were pretty much straight away. Didnt see him all weekend. Massive learning curve being media accredited I think.

Flat Eric · May 6, 2013

He's done well for himself hasn't he Naith! How old?

Naith · May 6, 2013

21 and it was his first media accredited weekend at a circuit that's terrible for variation... So yeh really proud of him. The 460 miles I had to do I wasn't so happy about lol. But the banter with fellow enthusiasts and drivers was all worth it.

Had like ten mins to edit shots for global press after they were taken to post online too, totally different to usual!

boffey · May 6, 2013

There ok, nothing special though

. Obviously joking amazing as always Riad, you know if you've got media for oulton yet.

BIGASH · May 7, 2013

You know my thoughts on your skilllz Riad! Fooking epic as I expected

Alex H · May 7, 2013

I remember the early days of Riad snapping cars while sitting in a tree at Oulton Park on RS TrackDay. Remember me when you're famous, kid.

Cheers!

Yeah i was there to shoot for a blog/website so i kind of played it safe was still pushing shooting at 1/80 1/60. Ino what its like to shoot from behind the fence mate ive done that for the past 3 years! i think you can get some better results though as it pushes you to be creative where as when your trackside its all there infront of you.
