Hi there,

Had a long day in London on Friday at the Salon Prive event (pics to follow) and to be honest was not really in the right frame of mind for Silverstone yesterday.

Also no matter where I went on the track most of the pics I got were pants due to the flipping sun. Normally I don't mind a bit of sun but when its bouncing off every panel of every car and off the windscreens its not funny.

Here are a few selected pics: -

C&C Welcome, but go steady as I'm feeling fragile

Very nice work - love the AM DP214. I was also there and as you say the lighting was a nightmare. Will post some images when I've sorted. Some good angles, where you trackside or in the spectator area?

I wouldn't be disappointed with these Tim - they look good to me. In fact I think the lighting works well on #2 especially - the BMW CSL looks quite dramatic in that light.

I was at Silverstone on Saturday too, and the lighting was very changeable which made photography a little bit more difficult. As always it was just a matter of getting to points around the track where the lighting was on the right side of the car. I spent most of the day at Abbey and Luffield.

A lovely set of shot's IMHO though - and some very nice machinery. Nice work.
