Yeah I've been meaning to try really slow shutter speeds for a while but this was the finals do I didn't risk it.

 Thats what seperates people from the best. Youve got to be confident enough in yourself to risk it when it counts.

What i usually do is get the safety shots out of the way (images i'm happy with and know clients will be) then what ever time i have left (10 mins - 2-3 days) I risk it and get arty and creative. It's very rare i don't risk a crazy idea on race runs

 I see what you're saying but I literally took like 20 photos that day and pretty much only in the finals so I wanted something decent to show haha. Really only went there for the party.

 haha good stuff, pissed i missed it
