Nice job - I found IMS to be a challenging place to shoot when I visited last year.

Yes, it is tough without credentials, which I didn't have to shoot. There's one spot, which I believe is inside turn 6, that has a large opening, not just the photographers well, and gives a good opportunity for a panning shot of them coming by. That's where the first photo of Vale above was taken. However, it's not a secret and elbow room can be competitive, so still not ideal. The third shot above was from the corner 9 stands, so terribly far away. I did manage to get a media pass, which was random, and got some presser photos like #2. The most fun was the paddock pass with lots of up close and personal time with riders and teams. I was disappointed to learn this week that the races in Europe don't have this type of access for fans. IMS may be unique in this sense and the Corner 9 package is a great deal!
