Historic Racing from Brandshatch

[pete.rush]

Well got out for what I thought would be the best day of the weekend and when to Brandshatch to watch abit of the Historic Masters Event thats being held this weekend (as I'm typing this, bright sunshine streams through the window - yet again the weather forecasters should be lined up and shot). The saturday event was held on the Indy circuit, but with Bazza's help we found some good spots to photograph from.

Some nice shots there. The angle on the first is a little extreme for my tastes and the Sunbeam is a tad OOF on the front and back end, but LOVE the mk.1 Escort shot and the Jaguars! :D

Hi Pete,
1,Good shot,horrible angle.
2,Well taken pan shot ,clear and sharp.Tidy.
3,Excellent shot,my favourite,but looks a bit tight on cropping,could do with room for car to drive into.
4,Would have been great if all the Tiger was in it too.Love the colours and clarity.
5,Nice angle,but slower shutter speed for the wheels needed.
6,7,Lovely cars,good composition,too fast shutter speed.
8,What a gorgeous car ,shame about trailer behind.

Enjoyed looking,thanks.

Thanks guys for your comments, much appreciated. With 1 just playing, as for the shot from Surtees, probably too close, was laying down and probably using wrong lens (70-200mm on 1.3 crop) and I'll have to play with the slower shutter speeds, was comfortable with 160th sec (for some shots), but need to improve technique for slower.
