Brands Hatch - Lotus Celebration - Saxperience

Barry123 · 24th March 2008, 01:06

Yo, just needed some chill out time from the uni work, so took a trip to Brands to freeze my tits off. Anyway took the camera and reminded myself why I cant be arsed with motorsport photography

but anyway... C&C is always welcome... still trying to get to grips with panning at the moment rather than framing.

tell me honestly what you think.

Ads

Keepers (for me) percentage was about 2%. shame my battery ran out within the first 45mins or something

no idea why sodding jpeg artifacts appear in mine so bad. argghhhhhh

EDIT: think I've sorted it

Some good pics there.

I would love to see the Racing Trucks, what were they like ?
I'm sure i heard somewhere they are restricted to 100mph, so
on the straights they don't travel too fast, but they can corner at almost
that speed !

seem like difficult conditions, nice shots.
Are the larger images sharp?

Audrey_D · 24th March 2008, 10:16

Mate they were seriously fast! the size of them makes you think they're going slower than they actually are, but it was rediculous the speed!

Thanks man, wasn't really up for it but I'd arranged the day with the Uni photography society so felt compelled to go, glad I did actually just a shame the focking batteries died. got some more on order though.

I am better.

Oooooo chris they're were loads and loads of lotusy brum brum cars. I probably did see it as we did a lot of strolling - Im wondering if someone else from the society took any shots of it... was it racing? im guessing not...

Naa, it wouldn't have been racing as my mate was sat in the pub with me.... he dropped his car off Sunday morning, he went back to Brands today to watch all the shenanigans and bought it home.

wow thanks man, very kind of you. go for it, its good fun. i just get a bit of a buzz from taking snaps to be honest - a good way to chill out

Ryan^p · 26th March 2008, 01:02

on a side note the angles out of clearways are nice just a shame about the fence.

did you not get to shoot theough the tv flap?

Barry123 · 26th March 2008, 01:17

where is Clearways dude? They were shot either at the entry to Druids or the exit (like the trucks)

the TV hole is over the other side... they were turfing that side and I couldnt get close to the tv hole thing (plus there was a tv guy there)

fence pissed me off... no idea how Dave and Ant get non of that - presume they're 10ft tall ya?
