I might post some of my favourites from the past 3 months in a few days.

i enjoyed the motorsport year so there you have it, next year fingers crossed will be bigger and better and i can get to more rounds of the ARC and V8 Supercars including KKR09 and a few other surprises, this year i got to travel to quite a few places, Melbourne a few times, Perth, Canberra, all over NSW and Victoria, so a huge amount of planning has gone in to what i will be doing in 09 aleady.

Below are a few of my favourites

This was at Oran Park during the Dutton NSW event, the clouds and clean background really do it for me here

Bathurst 1000, an early morning portrait of will davidson of jim beam racing before the big race began, i did get one of craig lowndes but the damn camera operator screwed something up and it was oof, but i still like this one, i love the golden early morning light on his face and the look in to the distance (which i did ask him to do :P )

20081012-v8scbx-1m3_8493

I just wantd a shot of the holden sign with a holden going through it, everyone does the sme shot with the car in the middle just under it so i tried something a little different

20081011-v8scbx-2m3_8171

the next two ar two of my favourites from Phillip Island V8Supercars round this year, i just wanted clean backgrounds and i think i achieved that, the cars arent doing much but i really like them.

20080914-v8scpi-2m3_27321

20080914-v8scpi-2m3_2627

1/30s pans with wide angle lenses arent my favourite things but i like this, why? i just do

20080914-v8scpi-1m3_3341

Rally of Canberra, wow i just loved this event and off-road rallying, the images you can make are endless ts just alot more stessfull but that sometimes is good, this one was of herridge, it was the only jump on any of the stages, not everyone was game but most of the APRC guys did it, i think he did ok

20080510_roc08d2_2mg_3095

I just like the open space of this, the dirt, the cactus, and its in canberra of all places

20080509_roc08d1_2mg_3174-edit

Probably my favourite or one of during the year, was the Fujitsu round at Wakefield Park, a car had gone off in the background creating the dust storm in the background, i thought it made for a really good image, admittedly i should crop out the car to the right but alas its there now
