Oil Burner
Due to work on Saturday i cant make the Raceday for this event, But not wanting to miss the opportunity to shoot some night time motorsport i headed over to brands for the practice session which would continue untill 5.30.
To say it was an eye opener would be an understatement.
I learnt two things:
Night photography is V hard.
When trackside, always be ready to run (will explain later)
Firstly, some shots from earlier in the day, some Formula Fords.
A couple of shots of a very photogenic honda.
Now to address my running comment earlier.
This photo should give you some idea of what im talking about:
The end result was this:
The car hit exactly where i was standing, i wasnt standing in a stupid place, although cars can flick onto the outside of the track, it is far more common for them to end up hitting the tire wall on clearways. (i should also add, i did run away)
At least lightning never strikes twice....
5 mins Later.
The aston hit alot harder, thankfully i was next to the marshal post for this one, even so me and the marshall still legged it as it got a bit of air. The Aston driver actually tried to drive off like this. Much to the marshals disliking.
I did eventually get some other photos:
Only two night shots as the rest dont warrant being posted.
Thanks for looking,
Nick
