Advice...

[fraggs]

I'm hoping I'm posting this in the right place... and I'm hoping i don't get lynched... (as i've been lynched on a photography forum already for having a "basic" bog standard SLR with assorted lenses (my equipment is canon).

i've been shooting for 12 months now.. from the spectator area.. And I'd like to get in to motorsport photography.. As i'd not picked up a camera until last june, I've spent just about every weekend i can come rain, wind or shine in all weathers travelling to as many events as i can get to, to build up my work and just practice and see what developed.

I've been bugging a media group for a while now.. and they interviewed me back in march after seeing my portfolio, they were interested but said I'd need to get out of the spectator area. After the bgp the other week I sent some shots over just out of interest, and expecting nothing .. but the upshot is they've agreed to back me for applying for media passes for a few events just to start out.. the first application has gone off, and I don't know whether i will be lucky to get a media pass, or whether i'll be lucky for any of the other events that i want to do..

I will admit that that I'm a newbie finding her way in all this. But just incase a small miracle it does happen and i do end up with a pass.

I just wondered what advice, if any, you guys had to offer.
