Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2014

NFI · 28 Nov 2014

So well my motorsport season has come to an end, I had some lows in my personal life which kinda affected me but I am happy to say that I can close the season in great mood and looking forward 2015 which shall be possibly much more exciting and rewarding.

Anyway here's the pics of a weekend with a lot of interesting stories (if you like F1)

1 - Not a particularly beautiful picture but you know...

2 - Nando

3 - Daytime Yas Marina Circuit (n)

4 - Sunset time Yas Marina Circuit

5 - Night time Yas Marina Circuit

6 - A bunch of photographers and cameramen outside Lewis garage on a Saturday afternoon...

7 - One last time Seb.

10 -

11 -

12 -

13 - The Champ

14 - It doesn't matter how much you get pushed, you hold your position! LOL

Cracking set matey - great work

Absolutely fantastic. I watched P3 and was amazed how crap the circuit looked. But at night time it is completely different.

Great shots, I love your work.

Marvellous set - tells the complete story of the whole day.

Absoluteky loving, 4, 5 , 7, 8, & 13.

Would love to see them bigger - thats a compliment.. not a request or criticism.

James these are an "Excellent" set of images. I've managed to get to half a dozen GPs this year but unfortunately not this one.

George.

gibtheo · 28 Nov 2014

Awesome set of images.

Cheffievrs · 28 Nov 2014

Cracking set, I bet the atmosphere was electric..! My personal faves are 2,8 and 12, really like the shot of Nicole

dubaiphil · 28 Nov 2014

Great set, James - all are really good but I'm drawn to 8 in particular, peeping in on the inner circle before the race

Paul Allen2 · 28 Nov 2014

A great set..like your slow speed panning 7 and 11. Thanks for taking the time to post your photos on the forum this year, I look forward to seeing more in 2015.

Top work James, roll on next season.

Lovely images. Thanks for sharing.

We are just sat at the airport in Abu Dhabi. Really impressed with this part of the world!

GP2 cars so much louder than the F1 cars

Great shots wish I was there. Had to make do with the TV.

Impspeed · 30 Nov 2014

Great work at always James, and always fascinating to see where the F1 togs shoot at my local circuit, get some inspiration, and look for angles I've not noticed before, although I have to admit I've shot every location I've seen from all togs this year, except one...

Where is #4 shot from? From the race school pit lane, as they head over the crest down toward the left-right complex and the H/Pin?

I had paddock access only this year so played around with profile and lifestyle shots, which was better than nothing, but yearning to get on track one year to shoot, although having done Bahrain for Winter Testing, the spectacle is no longer really there.

The track is probably crap during night too

(although I enjoy driving it in video games), it just allows us photographers to create some unique images.

Thanks, on flickr they are slightly bigger if you want to have a look

Thanks, you can consider coming next year, in late november the temperature in Abu Dhabi is ideal

not good when you come back to 5 degrees C in the UK

Thanks, it was very exciting indeed, at least until the start of the race

Thanks mate, number #4 is taken from turn 14, to be honest I shoot most of the time from the same places where I was shooting last year, let's say I wasted my qualifying session, need more planning for next year, there is one shot I tremendously want to do but still haven't figure it out where is taken from

PM me and I'll see if I can work it out. Shooting Ferrari Finali Mondiali there this weekend.

Lovely set as always got to be 2,4,8,11,13 and 14 for me

Floats · 12 Dec 2014

Lovely as usual James. I sound like a stuck record commenting on your work but I have no constructive criticism to give, it's just nice to view.

Incredible work to be admired!! It would be a dream to attend a grand prix and Abu Dhabi and be be able to achieve photo finishes like this!!
