# 3 is brilliant. A different type of shot for this type of action.

No mud - was using my 100-400 at 400mm for this shot. This type of Motor Sport is excellent for photography as you can get really close to the action and the fence is only waist high meaning you get clean views. I really enjoyed it as this was my first time and it was easy to walk the track and look for different angles, which I think I have achieved with number 3.
