Rockingham was. . .

First time at Rockingham and to be honest - I struggled to find anything to get excited about (biggest challenge was getting a shot without 'Rockingham' in huge blue letters in the background, huge lumps of concrete or the rather fetching totally empty silver grandstands)

Saturday was scorchio maximo and Sunday was - damp to start getting soaked to the skin, then with waterproofs still on becoming 'boil in a bag David' ending the day with severe sunburn "awesome"

Few that were ok - 1dx, saturday was the 200-400 (trying to get my head around a monopod) and Sunday was the old faithful - handheld 70-200 with 1.4 extender (you know what - damned if I can see 6k difference)

#1 1/160, f/9, iso 100, 200mm where were we again?


#2 1/125, f/10, iso 100, 362mm 3 abreast over the rise (Rockingham I think)


#3 1/400, f/4.5, iso 100, 280mm did I mention it was damp for a while?


#4 1/500, f/5, iso 100, 265mm Green flag lap - grabbed the group shot whilst I could


#5 1/250, f/5.6, iso 100, 98mm I may have been running out of ideas / angles by now


#6 1/100, f/14, iso 100, 98mm did come across this angle right at the end of the weekend - typical


It really was a struggle so I hope you find something to like.

Hi David

Nice to meet you on a, shall we say changeable day, and boil in the bag sums it up perfectly.

Good selection there, you would only moan all the more if it was sunny all the while.. I do like the "wet" shot, very atmospheric !

Thanks for letting me try your lens for a few shots, they came out very well, I will try and keep the wallet closed at the moment, but it did focus faster than I expected.

See you at Silverstone Classic ? now new lens or new TV ?????

It looks like you had awful weather on Sunday, but I do like Rockingham when it's wet as it distracts from the blandness a little.

nice set ...

Love the wet shot David and through the Armco is nice see what you mean about Rockingham signs every where lol
