BTCC + Friends; Brands Hatch Race Day

[dunganick]

Had an interesting day, struggled to take any shots i really liked, was a bit out of practice as camera has been away for new shutter for 2 weeks.

Anyway heres a few that i dont hate. Seat feature quite heavily due to this being their unfortunate swan song.

1. Carl Breeze heading up Paddock.

2. A wide shot of Onslow-Cole jumping the curve at Paddock and the good crowds.

3. Collard leads the RAC BMW and two seats up to druids.

4. Not sure i like this photo, using the strange position of the car in frame. Thoughts?

Lovely shots mate, I tried some but was not really happy with them...got around 15 or so that I liked. Only has the 400mm lens so was real restrictive. Love the shots at Paddock into Druids.

Nice work and great sense of racing.

top stuff, all have good light and are shot from the right places by the looks of it.

can't be assed to put any of mine up, was a rubbish meeting if I'm honest - I just couldn't be bothered to move :D

Were you in front of the fences for these shots...just trying to work out where you were if not. found it real hard to get any images without the fence in.

Seen these before ....cliosport :D

I was im glad to say the better side of the fence. However there are pleanty of shots from the public viewing areas. Have a look at these two galleries for ideas.

Nice shots, made the trip to Brands too for the first time, 920 mile round trip. Bloody elf'n'safety and their fencing.
