Thruxton with new 100-400L

First outing with my new 100-400m lens. Historics at Thruxton, more practice required but seemed half decent with my 7D

Thanks

Detox

You put it to good use nice clean sharp images

nice shots on your new toy

Thanks

Very nice Detox, congratulations.

Great pics, did you have press pass?

Nice set, I rented a 100-400 few weeks back at BTCC Brands Hatch, and loved it, took bit of getting used to with the pushrod zoom.

Nope, no press pass, not sure they would have any left, never seen so many media vests

stood up against the fence at the chicane by the stands, suprised not to see more pics from the day TBH the place was full of lenses

Was very lucky and a tad skillfull getting this back to the pits

so its a good open circuit to shoot at?
i visit silverstone from time to time, but theres not that many good vantage points, just miles of fencing.

Very nice. I think #5 is my favorite.

It was my first visit and TBH I wasn't expecting much. However the vanatge points although only a few were pretty good. Best one being a small area near the stands on the last chicane before finish line. Low fencing and directly opposite the chicane. But it gets full of peeps with lenses

Nice set. Like #2 the best with the Cortina on two wheels in the background. Lens seems to perform very well.

I was also there trying out my new (to me) 7D and must have been near you at the chicane. Will get myself organised and post some shots. As you say a few decent spots but can get a little busy.

Good meeting though with some great machinery.

thanks for the info, may have to make a trip as its not that far from me, maybe an hour or so, youve a good set of pics, like the shredded tyre pic, less lucky and more down to skill...well done

Excellent pics...That 100-400 is an excellent lens...and you know how to use it well.
