It didn’t seem too many until I came home. I was there for both days and I still haven’t got the 5fps of my new 30D under control, so I quite often got 3 or 4 shots where I intended for 1 or 2.
Cool shots. #3 rocks. Did you have a pass to get on the other side of the barriers? I noticed a few pros with giant old 300 or 400 primes and a bunch of amatuers with short glass were able to get in while the rest of us had to grab snaps while the cars passed behind the trees.

Thanks for the comments.
Yes I did got a pass so I had the benefit of being nearer to the action and having a big tree as an umbrella yesterday.I thought I saw you there later on in the afternoon on Sunday…in fact I think I might have a shot of you under the trees… :D
I couldn’t place your face..but I was sure I recognized one of the lucky guys who had a pass…:-)
I’ve got a few shots of the guys with the big gear, including one of a dude with 1D’s and big glass hanging all over him. Serious case of gear envy going on.

It’s easy to recognize me. I’m the one with the big hat which was really handy for the rain on Sunday.
Excellent shots of a good day out. I was there myself, but stupidly left my long lens at home so was left on the wrong side of the barrier with the wrong lens. I know the guy in No.3, looks like they were squaring upto each other. Im sure thats not true though!

They actually were. The one on the left was accusing the one on the right to have moved into his shot of the Bugatti. I actually expected them to get more physical, but they were just shouting at each other.
Damn and to think I just missed that, I was leaving and I met him coming in. It wouldnt be beyond him to step into someone’s shot and think he had a right to do it… Its a pity, everybody wanted the bugatti shot, how difficult to wait until someone else was finished first before stepping in.
