motorsport

I do like taking the opportunity to go back through some old images in the off season. Here are a few that have been sat on my hard drive for years, and I never got round to processing. 1. 2 3

I thought I had posted these, but obviously not! A few from the first event of the season at Donington. 1 46 -Stephen Hall - Dukeries MC - AEMC,DMC - Melissa Hall - Dukeries MC - AEMC,DMC - Ford Mk1 Fiesta 1600 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2 2 - Mark Kelly - Garstang & Preston MC - Neil Colman -...

Curious to know if anyone with a Canon 60/70D (it may even have options on the 80D) has changed the setting for autofocus and tracking in the custom menus in order to get better focus/tracking for motorsport? Things like tracking sensitivity, Accel/Decel tracking, AI servo first and second...

A bit of a ropey year for me with illness, could barely walk for half of it but gradually improved towards the end of the year. Hopefully, you'll forgive the somewhat limited variety here as a result. All British GT as I had to cut back a bit on the events I went to, all shot trackside in 2022...

2022 was an odd year for me as I got to the point where I really lost my motivation when it came to my motorsport photography. I only went to four events in the end and thought a good proportion of what I shot was trash. Oddly enough, over Christmas I decided to go back through what I had shot...

Jeez, I have a massive post processing backlog. Too much time spent simracing and not enough attending to my photography. Anyway, here are a few from the BARC Super Touring event at Oulton Park back in may. 1. Super Touring, Oulton Park-6 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2. Super Touring, Oulton...

Just catching up on some editing. Here are some shots from a BARC club meeting at Oulton Park last month. 1. British Automobile Racing Club, April 2022 - Oulton Park - 2022-10 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2. British Automobile Racing Club, April 2022 - Oulton Park - 2022-7 by G- Slev, on Flickr 3...

Interested to hear how those of you that shoot at the track with big, heavy lenses carry your gear. I've gone through a lot of options over the years, but I'm currently using: A double leather camera harness A lowepro vest and belt I hang lens cases off the vest/belt and chuck the body with...

It's been a while since I've shot or posted anything here, so here's a small selection of rust busters as I try to remember what I'm doing. 1. GT4 at Speed British GT - Round 2 by Jonny Henchman, on Flickr 2. Pit Inception British GT - Round 2 by Jonny Henchman, on Flickr 3. The Generic BRDC...

Hey All, 2019 was my third year covering the British GT as a media monkey, here's a selection of my shots throughout the season. Talk Photography was pretty much where it all started for me, in 2019 I spent much of my time working for the guy that used to moderate this section (Gary Parravani)...

Hey all, A bit of a delay, here's a few from Silverstone - It was way busier than any grandprix i've been to in the last 10 years which made getting a spot a bit of pain in the ass. Not much variety here I'm afraid as it was just a jolly with me and a few mates so couldn't drag everyone where I...

Hey all, Well it's been almost exactly a year since it rained on me during a motorsport event (when before that it was pretty much every time I went out)... The Silverstone 500 race was epic, with a massive field and the differing weather made for some varied shots... Here's a small selection...

Donington Park - No LImits Racing

Simple question really. How do you carry your kit at the circuit and what is in your bag? Whenever I go to a track, I always think I have taken too much kit with me. At the moment, I take: A Canon 70D A Canon 60D A Canon 15-85 A Tamron 70-300 (nice lens, but can produce blurry images at wide...

A few more from Oulton Park - this time from the BMW Championship 1 Kumho BMW Championship - BARC, Oulton Park-61 by G B, on Flickr 2 Kumho BMW Championship - BARC, Oulton Park-90 by G B, on Flickr 3 Kumho BMW Championship - BARC, Oulton Park-93 by G B, on Flickr 4 Kumho BMW Championship -...

Here are a few shots taken in one of the old touring car series categories at Oulton Park over the weekend. It was really well attended and as usual, very well organised by BARC. 1 Pre '66 Touring Cars & Pre '83 Group 1 Touring Cars - BARC, Oulton Park-222 by G B, on Flickr 2...

Anyone going to Donington for the start of the MSV season tomorrow?

The MSV circuits have now published their 2019 calendars, which can be found here: https://shop.msv.com/Calendar Sadly, they don't seem to be publishing an ICS file this year so you can add it to your calendar app. I find the google calendars available from Pat on...

Hi all, It seems every year I do one of these wrap-ups they get closer and closer together :( I must be old now. It's coming up to 10 years now since I picked up my first DSLR and a lot has happened in those years - hopefully the pictures continue to improve :D Anyway, here's a selection from...

Hey Folks, Lots of very good stuff from the WEC already so I apologise for spamming you even more... C&C most welcome if you can bear to look at any more sports cars :D 1. The M8 GTE was in fact smaller than the internet lead me to believe #82 BMW Team MTEK BMW M8 GTE: Antonio Felix da Costa...

Here are a few from my trip to Silverstone. I have tried to do something a bit different with some slower shutter speeds. I took over 5000 images so there will be more to come on my flickr stream! 1 Prema Theodore Racing Mercedes Benz - Dallara - Mick Schumacher - European Formula 3...

Like many motorsport photographers, I am finding that I return from an event - particularly the major events, like this weekend gone's WEC - with literally thousands of images. I don't seem to be getting the culling bit of my workflow correct, as I always seem to end up with too many images...

Hey All, I'm surprised I'm the first to post up pictures from the F1, I guess everyone had a bit of a shocker like me. Really wasn't feeling it this year, too hot, too much glare and a lack of creativity on my part. C & C still welcome, but I know I could have done better this year :S All from...

The next installment of my BTCC support package shots, from Oulton Park last weekend. 1 Johnny Wilkinson - TCR- Ginetta Junior - Oulton Park by G B, on Flickr 2 Between the Barriers - Ginetta Juniors by G B, on Flickr 3 Matt Luff - Richardson Racing - 72 - Ginetta Junior by G B, on Flickr 4...

Hi all, My turn to post up a few, some good ones already on display here... Somehow it managed to stay sunny, which meant the heat haze and sweaty fireproofs were not appreciated (I'm clearly never happy). Here's the results, C&C most welcome as always.. thanks in advance 1. First time on...

I am thinking of buying a new used second body (probably a 60D) to replace my ageing 400D alongside my main body which is a 70D. I was wondering how everyone organises and carries their kit whilst at the track? Since graduating to the Tamron 150 to 600, my old strategy of having a double...

Greetings all. I am looking for some help to improve my motorsport shots and I was wondering if you would be willing to give me the benefit of your collective experience. Firstly - focus. I am finding that I have quite a narrow plane of focus in my motorsport images - either the front or...

Hi guys, Little background before you go into it. I'm an aspiring automotive & motorsport freelance photographer, I've created a website but would really like some people to give their opinions on it. I only have Wix free hosting at the moment as I don't want to waste the money to host some...

Hey everyone, this is more business-minded than anything but you may be able to help me. Before people tell me, yes I know the easiest way to find this out is asking the vendors themselves but this thought has only just come to me, so here goes. We've all seen the stalls at Motorsport events...
