More DTM @ Brands Race Day

[Swaffs]

Hi guys,
Thought I would add to the DTM thread count with a couple of mine.
AS ever I took loads but have a couple ready to share with you
C&C welcome:

Most taken with my 20D and the POTN favourite Sigma 120-300 f/2.8. #2 was with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8

#1 Entering Druids, shame the sun was so harsh (and on the wrong side!)

#2 Entering Surtees, very close here, although also very busy crowd.

I was struggling to capture flames coming out the exhaust on one side, and you manage to get both sides:shock: Very nice indeed :D

It did take a few attempts! (about 30 shots at the same angle! as each car reacted differently)

You are right, the sun was a nightmare!!

I tried in vane to get a flame out, so top notch capture there. I'll have to rememer that angle next time the DTm come to Brands.

Thanks

To be honest, I was just trying to get a funky rear shot of the Audi as it's the only bit (the badges) that look anything like the A4 I used to own.

Then one of them spat fire out. So then I stayed for a while to try and get the shot. It wasn't great and is a bit out of focus (was quite a long way away), but I'm still happy with it.

great shots ...I know the sun can be tough .
