First attempt at sports photography

Advices etc. welcomed 

First attempt at taking some pics at the races today.
All shot on Canon 550D with 70-200 F2.8 and 50mm 1.8

Always try to position yourself with the light (sun) at your back. That way you will not have dark faces or subjects.

The rest looks ok. But 2 things.

1. Show movement
2. Show movement

You can get this with a slower shutter speed and panning.

What he said ;-)

good attempts nonetheless! I like the airborne shot the most.

Thanks, it's impossible to move around as you are confined to the track run off, thus was shooting into the sun whole time :/

Stopped by killarney on the way back to take a pic of my better half.
