Dont forget, if you work for free more than a few times (granted it can be good to get your foot in the door) you get branded as a ‘free photographer’ and when you eventually do ask for payment you will be laughed at.

Great set of images alright. The lens flare on the night shot almost looks like it should be there. Panning at night and with exhaust flames from a Dino…..great.

When I said flare, I meant the ‘blob’ you can see to the left of the car as the reflection from the exhaust flame on the lens,that I had to ps out and Im sorry to burst your bubble but its a Chevron B8, not a Ferrari Dino

Great shots. What was the new GTR like in the flesh?? Thats one photogenic car!! Love no1 too, Pity the bloke in the red EVO didnt keep in line and the lotus made its way in.

The GTR is big,but an amazing car overall, in the 1st photo they were preparing to go out for a video run (as seen in my 2nd last photo) so were just moving off as I passed them

You should apply to mondello for a press-pass, start getting photos published as shots like those are great for promoting the sport, few of my pics from the day here, try the road racing too, turn up early as it’s hard to get a good spot with all the spectators.

Good look, let me know how you get on with it as Ive been bashing my head repeatedly against a brick wall trying to get a Motorsport Ireland pass.

I’ve had the unfortunate task of having to do that snooze shot enough times :x (not dissing your shots, just Donington has better places to shoot IMO).

None taken Mark, its just the place is so huge, its a long walk to the more scenic sections :x .Thing with those shots,it was hard to frame them initially as the cars appeared very quicky over the brow of the hill. But I shall do my best to get more ‘turning focal plane’ shots, will be aiming to go around McLeans and Coppice this time (Turns 7/8),so will wear comfy shoes.

Also theres a round of Time Attack UK at Crash Central (Oulton Park) so any tips for shooting there would be appreciated

Christ Ed… last time you were here you stated ‘Photoshop is for crap photographers’… now this. You sure have a way of carrying yourself.

I never said that – I said that if you needed to use photoshop to produce an effect that can be done just using the camera, then thats a bad move. Photoshop is a tool – I use it when I need to, as I use a flash and a tripod etc when I need to

So here are a few TA photos with all the car in focus, to show that it can be done and at speed too

A bit bland maybe, but each car is doing close to 100mph in the above shots

Ill agree with Paddy ,its much harder to make a visual impact when taking photos of time attack, as there is rarely clouds of tyresmoke, or a car with the tail out, right on the balance between drifting and spinning out. I tend to go for panoramic shots, group shots (several cars inshot), things like glowing brake discs or stuff like this:

And it was nothing to do with pure luck either, after getting my ‘safety’ shots for the magazine (Modified Motors by the way) I decided to mess around and the Evo above was always popping a flame when he was going up through the gears coming out of turn 2 at Mondello so after burst shooting with 60 odd wasted shots I had 3 with flames that I was happy with, and for those who dont know, in most cases exhaust flames are ‘blink and you will miss them’ also with the majority of cars its not when they pop a flame, but if. If the flame wasnt there I wouldnt have kept the shot

But then again some people are just pig ignorant,Id quite happily ask whats the attraction in taking photos of flowers,bands,weddings and macros of bottles for example. Unless you can do better and prove it, you have no right to criticise, ask questions of course, but ‘forum experts’ do my head in

jb7 the guy who started that thread that Paddy mentions is imo the BEST drift photographer in the uk/ireland. Just a shame he has disappeared from the scene, hopefully he will be back as his work was a great inspiration. His website is still online http://www.pbase.com/mart_williams/motorsport. He used a D200 and 70-200 F2.8 or a Bigma for his shots
