Going to Brands this weekend for the BTCC - never been before. Wondering if anyone can point out the good spots and what sort of focal lengths the track requires from the public viewing areas?
TIA,
Dan

And also how busy it will be (not predicting it to be too busy)  Halfway up paddock hill looking at the run off wants 300mm+  Druids wants 300mm but ideally 400mm to get rid of catch fencing for the classic Brands shot.  Inside of druids (pan) wants less than 100mm  Inside of druids looking at the dip at bottom of paddock hill wants about 200mm depending on where your shooting the car.  Inside of druids on exit of corner you can pretty much use what ever you want depending on what shot your going for.  Ontop of Druids shooting over fence at Apex 200mmish  Exit of druids through catch fencing (cant find pic atm) Graham hill shooting at the exit of Druids. 300-400mm (need pic) Inside of Graham hill bend 200-300mm (need to find pic) Inside of Surtees (under 200mm for non crop shot)  Shooting the back of cars going into Clarke Curve from inside of Surtees 300mm http://dunganick.smugmug.com/photos/361348852_4knYb-M.jpg  http://dunganick.smugmug.com/photos/361336759_DP5Es-M.jpg Shooting from the right hand side of catch fencing by clearways bridge (pans, dont require much from here) http://dunganick.smugmug.com/photos/361321590_CsmA9-M.jpg http://dunganick.smugmug.com/photos/361313067_GoRBn-M.jpg Shooting through media Hatch at Clarke Curve/Clearways 300mm http://dunganick.smugmug.com/photos/364052454_YAWp6-M.jpg Link to Brands Hatch map http://www.ngroadracing.org …circuits/brands_hatch.jpg Im sure ive missed alot of shots. But these are the major ones. Im also sure people will disagree with the focal lengths ive quoted. Naturally this depends on how creative you are with your shots. But these lengths will pretty much fill the frame with car. Also my examples are by no means good examples, but ive just picked the first ones i could find. Hope this helps. Cheers,
