DTM - Brands Hatch - 03/09/10

urbansickness · 3rd of September 2010 (Fri)

Just a few from Brands Hatch today. these are the first few ive edited of the 1100 pics i took. Taken from druids.

Would like some general comments , especially on the processing. Used to lightroom to select the cars and adjust exposure, contrast and sharpening.
Would like to know if its been over done or what could have been done better.

they look great, number 2 is my favourite of your images

wish I could go, I think the DTM cars are much more interesting than the BTCC cars,

With all the aerodynamic stuff on them, they look like little toys. Great shots though, I'm jealous because I've never been to a professional race or even a big-name track.

The cars are awesome but every DTM race I've seen at Brandshas been terminally dull!

Nice pics btw, any other sort of angles?

These shots are from taken from clearways overlooking surtees into maclaren.

Unless youve got a press pass theres very little choice of positioning for photography.

God they are ugly cars did venture up Friday morning only to find southbank closed after i was told it was open so went home and had a pub lunch instead

Like your second set of DTM cars and love the Supercup picks what reach were you using ? as the only place i can think you were standing that is not blocked by huge fencing is just as the cars rejoin the Indy circuit from the GP loop.

Gonna pop up in two weeks for the GT meet on the GP Loop make the most of fence free views worried they may go overboard out the back with fencing for next season after the recent accidents.

yep, thats where i was. nice unrestricted views.
i was using a 70-200 with a 2x convertor, plus the 1.6 crop factor i had about 600mm of reach

That explains the great pics you got may give that spot a try with my 55-250 have to go for group shots.
