BTCC @ Silverstone & Brands Hatch GP

[dunganick]

Another small catchup. Not my final events of the year, but very close.


A somewhat lack laster BTCC Silverstone. Made up for by an absolutely blinding finale at the always brilliant Brands Hatch GP circuit.

C&C encouraged!


I even wrote a few blog posts if you're bored:

1. WSR Reflect on where it all went wrong?

2. Just a plain shot that I like.

3. A safety car shot that one day I WILL nail!

4. Something a bit wide...

5. Something a bit slow....

6. Something a bit moody

And now onto Brands....

7. The man of the moment waiting to get on track.

8. Throwing up some spray

9. The outgoing champion

10. Something isn't right there...

11. Not sure....

12. Weather in the last race wasn't all that!

13. And finally a shot that tells the story i think

 

[Andy.]

Great shots, but that last one is special.

 

[Sam@NP]

6 and 13 are h'amzing! Top work as usual

 

[Naith]

fantastic work. Love seeing your stuff nick.

 

[ukaskew]

Amazing work Nick, you're going places

One thing though, I can't work out how the hell you did #3!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cracking set as usual.

Number 3 has got me thinking too. Very cleverly done.

 

[Naith]

three will be related to shutter speed no? as the safety car doesnt weave about it stays kinds still in a sense. the racecars are weaving which in turn makes them blurred...?

I'm no tog though so may be miles off.

 

[MonacoDan]

Number 12 from brands looks epic!

 

[Bobby.]

Brilliant pictures, love the last one.

Could be actually, I hadn't thought about them warming the tires and the safety car going straight which would explain the focus...

 

[Habitual]

Excellent set - especially 12 and 13.

That’s exactly what has been done there, it just requires a slow enough shutter speed to blur the cars, yet fast enough to keep the safety car sharp.

Very kind Chris,

Yes the technique for 3 is as per Naith's post

Cracking set as usual.

Exactly. It also requires you to pan with the car at the front. As i'm shooting down at the car, the car is effectively moving downwards, so at 1/13th as this shot is, you need to move with the safety car too.

Not bad Nick haha

That last shot had some great coverage!
