F1 Testing with Press Access

A nice quiet day shooting the testing over at Silverstone today, it makes a change being able to explore a circuit, not worrying about deadlines or anything.

I decided to just play about and shy away from the regular journalistic shots and go for something a bit artier.

All comments welcome! (Expects barrage from the anti-tilt brigade lol)


Webber storms down towards Bridge.

Nice set of shots and I like the tilt. Number 3 would be my pick.

Nice set of shots... I like particulary like the pictures of the rear of the cars, makes a refreshing change! Mine didn't work this time around!

Robert

nice pics. Number 2 is my fav.

Nice shots Pete, anyone have any idea what sort of time they start testing tomorrow....ie a decent sort of time to get down there ?

Very nice, love 1,3 and 5 the most.

I'm pro tilt, but some are not to my lliking (tilt wise). The colour rendtition, timing and panning are excellent.

Awesome..........first and last are my favs!

Some of your horizons aren't straight !!!!

I don't mind a bit of tilt either. Nice set of pics.

So do you tilt the camera or is it how you crop the picture? I always see pics like that in motorcycle mags and wondered if it was the way they crop the pics or the way they held the camera.

You'll find most photographers pan their cameras at an angle. It's very easy, and something different. Something I always do in drift photography, as the drivers like them more. . But can be overused.

Great photos Pete. Well done, nice, clear and unique

Great shots Pete! I particularly like #3.

I didn't realise there were so many hills at Silverstone, it was pretty flat the last time I drove round it! ;o)

Pictures nice and clean. But as its a flat track why not keep it that way, then we would see much more of the car and thats what you are taking pictures of.

Cheers for the comments, gents!

I'll be honest, I did take some regular photos, but they just failed to interest me, they came across as a bit generic and with Silverstone looking so cold and barren I decided to go with the arty shots lol

A great set of shots Pete, I really like the first one even though it is tilted

Cheers
