Well the circuit motorsport season has started in the UK and it was time for me to get back into the saddle today. The Lotus Brands Hatch Celebration was an opportunity for me to shake out the kinks and see if I can remember how to shoot a race car on a track after nearly four months off.
It was windy, over-cast and dull all day long so I was struggling with the elements. Many of the shots are at high ISO and large aperture as a consequence.
