Having seen the quality of the other Le Mans threads, I wasn't so sure about posting as those are some absolutely stunning shots! But thought I would anyway purely because it was an event of a couple of 1st's for me that I am pleased about.
For most of the shots, I couldn't get close enough to the fence to totally focus it out so there is still some distortion on some of the shots, but will have to live with that this year and learn from it (get there earlier to the track to get a better position ).
The shots are a mixture of the main event and the LM P3 race before hand.
The 2 1st's -
1 - first time at Le Mans (or any motorsport event actually!) - what an amazing event! So want to go again (need to convince the wife that it is a good idea )
2 - first time with my new Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens - love it! Was really pleased with how it handled. I had seen some great reviews and pictures (mainly on the thread on these forums) and thought why not - I am not disappointed!
Anyway, here are a few shots (the rest are on flickr and I wont flood the thread) -
