BTCC @ Rockingham and BGT/GT1 @ Donington

[dunganick]

Hey All,

Bit of a catchup, BTCC from a week ago. My resounding memory of that event will be the rain. And then more recently GT1/BGT from Donington, which will be remembered for the appalling traffic getting there and back (although i did love the event).

So here we go with some BTCC. C&C much appreciated.

1. So lets start with something that isnt a BTCC car....

2. Next a bit of a classic, but still a shot i love.

3. Not sure i love this shot - think i missed a trick with it somewhere

4. Something a bit different

5. Theres always some dick waiting to ruin your shot (a photographer i know from another forum)

6. Most photographed crash ever

7. Giant watermark....

8. A favourite ruined by how often it is used now

9. I love this car

10. Another fav of mine

11. A photo of some dust

12. reflective visors should be mandatory for everyone in pitlane for photographic reasons.

I love your tracking shots - the motion blur is so extreme in some that on first glance it isn't immediately obvious what is in focus. Really like all of them tbh - tack sharp too!

Great shots as per usual mate.

I managed to even watch this whilst in Brazil. Still love your crowd panning shots.

See you at Brands!! You'll have to show me the best spots with no press pass

Cheers guys!

Dan, im there both days so let me know. I will be pretty flat out on Sunday being the last round, but plenty of time Saturday.

You're shots are always so impressive mate. I'd love to know how to do this sort of thing.

No problem mate, i will drop you a PM nearer the time with some tips and definitely find the time for a catchup over the day.

Thanks very much!

It's really very simple - these would be my tips.

- Read some tutorials on places like here or Talk Photography.
- Practice - get to a track day and just take snaps.
- Look at others photos, you can find a style you like from others and then using EXIF readers take the images apart - where were they taken and how (shutter speed, aperture, ISO etc...)
- Practice
- Spend more than you can really justify on camera kit.
- Spend 50-75% of your weekends doing the above.
