p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Classic Motor racing shots - UK

So last weekend I went for my second go at capturing some motorsport shots last weekend at Oulton Park, a circuit in the UK.

I've not got all the images off yet but these where the ones early in the day. No I go and watch a lot of motorsport but this is the first time I've watch classics and it was brilliant. Good close racing but they sounded fantastic.

In the second batch of shots are some historic F1 cars, now they were amazingly quick. Anyone didn't go for any static shots this time just tried to capture the sense of speed.

I used a 70-200 f/4 IS L thats a dream to use and for this circuit long enough. Some are taken at 1/30th of a second which was a challenge at the focal length I was taking them at without IS.

Anyway here you go I will post some more over the weekend.

erm no, skinny tyres and an old bloke = didn't get enough lock on and the rear tyre went onto the grass and hey presto a spin.

This was the shot before it.

Forgot to say I think 5 and 9 are my favourites, I just need to go and buy this lens to take these shots regularly so I'm not borrowing my friends L all the time.

Yeah 11 wasn't the best. I couldn't get far enough over to get the right background into the shot, will see what I can get next time.

The classic's certainly go and are great to take shots of.
