2009 Motorsport Photos (Pic Heavy)

[dunganick]

Talk Photography is running a thing where members post up their favourite photos from the 2009 Motorsport season. And never missing an opportunity to copy and paste my post from there to here figured i would do the same. Except i'm going to add a few more photos as Cliosport doesn't have an image limit.


(these may well be in the wrong order)


1. We started the year with the BTCC Media Launch.

2. Another from Rockingham BTCC Media Launch

3. The Start of the BTCC season

4. Another with Platos' Chev with no decals

[Bluebeard]

Why was F2 a tragic event??

Did someone die or is it a rubbish series?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Qaulity shots.

Similar accident to Massa's, only with a wheel not a spring.

My 09.

Track Day at Cadwell.

BTCC at Croft.

F1 silverstone

RWS Silverstone

Random Bike track day oneday at mallory whilst on my way to Caterham

Went to anglessey for the day to see a XBOW for a uni project.

Found a Rally on my way back from Anglessey.

NOt as good as Yours but i use a Canon 350D and a Non Apo sigma 70-300mm.

I will buy proper gear once i graduate.

Enjoyed 09, but didnt take my camera to most of the track days i did, and forgot to take it when i went to Oulton for the BTCC

Bazzon,

Some great pics there, love the F1 shots, as always, the red bull livery looks fantastic in photos.

James,

Great pics there, congratulation on the media pass, i would imagine at Silverstone that would help quite alot.

Love the BTCC shots too and your right the sun helps alot. Certainly beats standing in the rain!

I didn't get my 55-200mm lens 'till after the season was pretty much over so havent managed to get some decent track action shots. So here are my fav from 2009....

F1 @ Silverstone:

Button caught up in the media circus...

Ford Fair @ Silverstone:

Thats about it from my little D40. Next year I hope for some better shots

 

[D4N13L]

Some amazing photos in here.

I cant wait for next years season to start.

[Revels]

Awesome work, Nick :approve:

 

[Seedy172]

Awesome thread. Some truely amazing shots.

Pic of Brawn is superb.

 

[dunganick]

Adamio, did you change your kit for the GT's? the pans are so much sharper than your earlier shots. Good timing with the flames to.

Jason, some nice pits/paddock type shots in there, bet your looking forward to trying out the new lens this coming season.

I think that's more to do with practise than anything

Only used the 70-300 about 4 times at Brands since i bought it last August

Got this bookmarked in my iPhone as i go so rarely at the moment i always need a quick reminder - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=192165

Hopefully i'll be out and about a lot more next year (presuming my car's sorted)
