Donington Park Track Day 30.10.2005

Popped up to Donington Park again today for the weekly track day. Not as exotic as last week on the car front, but still good all the same.

I feel I'm getting better at the panning now, and I'm really enjoying it.

Hope you like some of my best shots of the day, the rest can be found on my website here: http://www.cruisecultu​re.net/media/thumbnail​s.php?album=64
Thanks

Excellant captures indeed mate an very good framing

Thanks very much, nice to hear good feedback like that, makes me happy

Getting REALLY addicted to my cam now, especially motorsport.

Not bad considering I've only done panning on 2 occasions now...

Nice shots!

wow, not much left of that vw..

It never was a VW Beetle it's a Uniroyal Fun Cup car. Space frame chassis with a fibre glass silhouette type body shell. Why they decided to make them look like VW Beetles I have no idea, you'll have to ask the series organisers...

Thanks mate

Nice shots! What were the settings?

Thankyou!

The settings were...

Shutter: 1/50s
Aperture: F/3.1
ISO: 64
Focal: 57mm

Wonderful series Dan. Your panning technique is spot on. I haven't attempted motorsport photography myself but will be attending a few events next year, your photos leave me with great anticipation.

Thanks Mark! Great to hear good feedback like that, makesit all the more worth while

Where will you be attending next yr?

Your 20D shud do fine, my shots were only a compact 4mp Fuji

Brands Hatch is the nearest circuit to me so that will probably be the first one I head to. Just a case of finding the best places to stand for some good photo oppertunities.

Ah cool, good circuit!

Spk to DaveG, KennyG or Cadwell, they will know of some good spots

Thanks for the info Dan. I will certainly ask in the forum before I go.

Nice shots. It's only a suggestion but why not try a slightly slower shutter speed which will give the automobiles a sense of movement. Fast shutter speeds tend to make the vehicle look as if it's parked.. Just a thought. I like the photographs though...well done.
