Photos PLJ
 
Is it just me or are this lot incapable of standing in the right place to take a good action shot.
All the Photo,s from Snetterton feature everyone accelerating out of the Russel chicane,not in it.How borings that.Coming round Coram thay are taken from the outside when all the action is either head on or from the inside.
The pictures from the first corner surely want to be at the apex/knee down point and so on.
The second corner and right hander of the Esses are good points but along way from the paddock i guess.
Shows how good some of our amatuer/intrested snappers are to capture some of the photo,s they have.

Thoughts anyone!

I agree.

I think Mutters and Jess (mine & Otei's floozy :o ) took the best pics I've seen from Snett. Mutters also did some great ones from Oulton, and Chass's son Alec had hundreds of decent pics from Donington.

Pete Wileman (guy with photo's on the day) and PLJ were disappointing.

I've only had 1 pic off PLJ this year, and it was a real close up from the inside going through Shell Hairpin at Oulton.

I don't understand how they all seem to pick such poor areas to take pics.

Thank god Guy is doing Cadwell!!!!!!!

Looks like I did overtake Ant on the grass after all. :D

He just rides off blissfully unaware of the action going on round his rear :o

Sorry to hear that Zimbo. I have to disagree with you, though. I got 2 great pictures of Antonye for his birthday and a smashing one blown up to A2 and framed for Ali's wedding present, which was lucky because it will be a long time before that bike looks as smart as it did at Oulton Park :devil: I also found Paul to be very friendly and helpful.

I've bought photos from PLJ before and been happy, it's just the Snetterton ones which have failed to enthuse. Hopefully the next lot will be better and I'll buy some again, I'm not going to buy photos of me sideways on travelling in a straight line, and almost all the photos they took of me at least seem to be pretty much exactly that.
