Had a great few days in Le Mans, managed to get a few shots I liked despite the annoying safety fences. I appear to have lost a load of shots with a corrupt CF card though :(

First time I've used a flash at Le Mans, glad I gave it a go.

#1 is great. How did you get the flash to not bounce off those safety fences?

I was able to shoot over the safety fences in a couple of locations and used a long enough lens to completely remove them from the frame (otherwise they lit up like a xmas tree!)

I've managed to retrieve the photos from the broken compact flash card[1] as well so I'll post a few more shots later :)


[1]I threw it very hard against a wall and it started working!
