Default More DTM from the weekend

There's been some cracking pictures posted of the DTM at Brands Hatch at the weekend so I thought I would post a few of mine. I did do 600+ mile round trip for it after all .

Like this one but that fence spoiled it. The colours look very strong in this one but the saturation has not been altered. Could the bright sun affect this? Comments welcome.

Damon Hill giving taxi rides.

Kind of liked this crop of Hakkinens car which in IMO was the best looking DTM car (brushed aluminium).


There's a shed load more here. http://www.pbase.com/kevin_bryce/dtm_brands_hatch

Thanks for looking
Kev

The first one is fab....I had the same problems with fences and for that matter saturation. Some shots came out really bright. I think it was the sun.

Thanks Michael. I was constantly checking the histogram as I was getting a few over exposed shots at first. I was fluctuating between -1 and -2 exposure level most of the weekend.

Yep, same here. Had a moment where I set the exposure -1 and then moved - forgot to check the exposure and ended up underexposing a few shots. Shoulda checked

Oh well, live and learn!

Cheers Geoff , the drive down wasn't too bad but the traffic and torrential rain which had the motorways down to 40mph on the way back was a nightmare. Felt sorry for all the bikers on the motorway who had been to Donington for the GP and got caught up in probably the worst rain i've ever driven in.
